A spliff is an old school term originally referring to any joint where you might have to "
split the difference" between tobacco and cannabis. It can be flower or hash that is mixed with tobacco. Maybe it's because you only want to smoke a little bit of weed, but don't want to roll a
pinner, or because you only have a little bit of weed, and don't want to roller a pinner. As the term became popular, and the availability of weed became greater, the term began to incorrectly refer to pretty much any type of joint, with a
crutch or not, cone or not.
"Man, you got a smoke we break open for a
spliff? I've only got papers, but don't want to smoke all my weed in a joint. "
"No, but I got a Philly, if you wanna
roll a blunt!"
"Man, I said I didn't wanna smoke all my weed at once...but hell yeah! Let's get
blunted!"
