In its place of origin, a spliff traditionally refers to a cigarette containing only marijuana.
Most commonly, "spliff" is used to distinguish a roll that mixes cannabis with tobacco. This practice is widespread in many European countries where smoking pure cannabis is less common.
Usage varies, but it often mirrors the European definition—specifically a mix of tobacco and cannabis—to differentiate it from a "joint" (pure cannabis) or a "blunt" (cannabis rolled in a tobacco leaf wrap). Composition and Culture
