"Put out joint" is a colloquial term commonly used in cannabis culture, specifically referring to a marijuana cigarette that has been extinguished or partially smoked, and then saved for later use. It is also known as a "residual joint" or a "stashed joint."
A joint, in this context, is a rolled cannabis cigarette, typically made from dried marijuana flower. When someone is smoking a joint, it is common to take a few tokes and then extinguish it to save the remaining portion for a later time. This can be done for various reasons, such as wanting to conserve the marijuana or not wishing to get too high at once.
When a joint is put out, it is typically stored in a container or rolled up again in a way that preserves its integrity and prevents it from becoming dry. These "put out joints" can retain some residual heat, making them easier to relight later.
The term "put out joint" is derived from the act of extinguishing the joint and storing it, creating the perception that it has been "put out" temporarily. This practice is prevalent among cannabis enthusiasts who prefer to savor their marijuana, allowing for multiple sessions from a single joint.
It is worth noting that the term "put out joint" may vary in different regions or subcultures, and local slang may also have specific synonyms or variations to describe the same concept.
