Within Europe certain Commonwealth nations, smoking a joint (cannabis cigarette) consists of a small amount of tobacco added with the natural plant Marijuana sometimes referred to as weed. With the use of rolling papers, with added flavours of hemp, rice, and liquorice. Modern society has manufactured a range of rolling paper and sizes to enhance the taste and structure to the joint.
Included in a joint (cannabis cigarette) is a small piece of cardboard, typically purchased pre-cut to act as a mouthpiece or in the Western World, called a roach. Originating from the French word "joined", the Anglo-Irish renamed this to be called a "Joint" very rarely smoked without tobacco included. The West Indies removes the tobacco, calling it a marijuana cigarette or the slang word "Spliff" that is commonly used in Jamaica.
With the medically researched healing qualities found in the Marijuana plant, smoking a joint (cannabis cigarette) can be accomplished in many other ways. Sometimes the "Joint" will be inhaled through a water-based bong, or as an e-cigarette created and developed in California, a legal state to smoke and purchase cannabis.
American medical cannabis consists of legalised auto-flowering buds referred to as Cannabis Indica, Sativa, Ruderralis, and Genus. With variants in the strain of the plant, each strain has it's own name in the Medical Marijuana product such as; Charlotte's web, Kush and Malawi Gold. You have two variants on the plants, one being a feminine Marijuana plant and the other a Masculine Marijuana plant, both producing a different taste and strain. The rolling formula on the joint depends on the harvest and how the grower has prepared the cannabis. Medical Marijuana is pre-rolled and contains 100% pure cannabis with the addictive property removed from the plant.
