A joint (IPA /dʒɔɪnt/) is a rolled marijuana cigarette. Rolling papers are the most common rolling medium in industrialized countries; however, brown paper, cigarettes with the tobacco removed, beedis with the tobacco removed, receipts, and newspaper can also be used, particularly in developing countries.〔e.g., in Jamaica: ''The Rastafarians'' by Leonard E. Barrett'' p. 130.〕 Modern papers are manufactured in a range of sizes from a wide variety of materials including rice, hemp, and flax, and are also available in liquorice and other flavoured varieties. A joint can vary in size, typically containing between 0.25 to 1 grams net weight of cannabis (joints have been rolled with 2 or more pounds, but this is not a common practice). Tobacco may or may not be used in the rolling process. ==Variations and terminology== Although joints by definition contain cannabis, regional differences have been noted. In Europe, in certain Commonwealth nations, and more recently in North America, joints, or spliffs, typically include a bit of rolled cigarette packet cardboard or business card in one end to serve as a mouthpiece. The term "spliff" is sometimes used to distinguish a joint prepared with both cannabis and tobacco,〔(Australian Government Department of Health: National Cannabis Strategy Consultation Paper ), page 4. "Cannabis has been described as a 'Trojan Horse' for nicotine addiction, given the usual method of mixing cannabis with tobacco when preparing marijuana for administration."〕 as is commonly done in European countries, where joints containing only cannabis are rarely smoked. However, in the West Indies where this term originated (especially Jamaica), a ''spliff'' is simply a marijuana cigarette, normally containing no tobacco. Special e-cigarettes have also been designed for use with cannabis extract.〔("World's first e-joint given its debut by Dutch firm, says it's selling 10,000 a day" ), ''The Independent'' (retrieved December 8, 2014)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Joint (cannabis)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
