Joint is slang for a cigarette rolled with cannabis. Usually, rolling papers are used, while in the developing world (where these are scantily available), brown paper, cigarettes with the tobacco removed, or newspaper[citation needed] are used. Blunts are also used to roll marijuana, after the tobacco is removed. Papers made for rolling are usually made of rice.[citation needed] Some manufacturers use hemp as an alternative.[citation needed]


The words spliff, doobie or doob can be used as slang for a marijuana cigarette.

The word "joint" probably comes from the past participle of the French word "joindre", meaning "combine", "enclose", "blend" or simply "join".[citation needed]
