The word "spliff" originates from the Jamaican slang for a joint, often with a non-specific amount of tobacco mixed in with the ganja, or marijuana. Outside of Jamaica the word is often used to describe a joint that is rolled into a conical shape.
Bob Marley, like many other reggae artists, was known to smoke spliffs both in studio sessions and on stage. One of his most famous lines is from the song Easy Skanking:
"Excuse me while I light my spliff,
Good God, I gotta take a lift!"
