TOKE Meaning and
Definition
-
The term "toke" primarily serves as a verb in modern slang, particularly within the cannabis culture. It refers to the act of inhaling smoke, usually from a joint, pipe, or other smoking apparatus, for recreational or medicinal purposes. A toke involves drawing air through a lit substance, such as marijuana, into one's lungs, allowing the active compounds to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
"Toke" can also be used as a noun, referring to a single inhalation or puff taken while smoking cannabis or any other substance. It represents the physical act of taking a hit or drag from a smoking device, usually ending with the exhalation of smoke.
The term originated in the 1960s counterculture movement and gained widespread usage within the hippie movement of that era. While it has its roots in cannabis culture, "toke" has expanded its meaning to encompass smoking other substances like tobacco, herbal blends, or even electronic cigarettes.
Due to its association with recreational drug use, the term "toke" carries a colloquial or informal connotation. It is commonly used in casual conversations among cannabis enthusiasts or in contexts where drug use is accepted or discussed openly. However, it is worth noting that the term may vary in meaning or context across different cultural groups or individuals.

Etymology of TOKE
The etymology of the word "toke" is uncertain and there are a few possible theories about its origin.
One theory suggests that "toke" may have originated from the Spanish word "tocar", which means "to touch". It is believed that this term was adopted by English speakers as a verb to describe the act of touching the mouth to inhale smoke.
Another theory suggests that "toke" may have come from the Irish word "toiseach", which means "chief" or "leader". This theory posits that the word was adopted by the counterculture movement in the 1960s as a slang term for "taking a puff" and became popularized through the use of marijuana.
While these are plausible theories, the exact origin of the word "toke" remains uncertain, and it is difficult to pinpoint a definitive etymology.
