A spliff was, originally, a Jamaican term for a large cone-shaped smoking device carved of wood and packed full of cannabis (possibly mixed with tobacco leaf (fronta) or pieces, as per one's taste). Eventually rolling papers replaced the solid cone. Outside of Jamaica, the word has diverse meanings.

Spliff is slang for a cigarette rolled with cannabis, sometimes including tobacco or other substances. Spliffs come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and have plenty of slang synonyms, including joints, zoots, doobies, and reefers to name a few. In the United Kingdom, the phrase "skinning up" is commonly used to describe the creation of a cannabis or cannabis/tobacco combination cigarette, whereas the term "rolling" or "rolling up" is commonly used in the United States. Occasionally psychotropic agents apart from cannabis or tobacco are consumed in a spliff. This includes i.e. Methamphetamine, Opium, PCP, etc.

There are many variations on the way a spliff can be made

European variations include the "Spanish Crutch" where a ¼ inch (6 mm) of a cigarette is used as the roach/crutch, and the "Flaming Backflip" where the paper is folded inside out before rolling, and carefully rolled with the gum being licked then tucked in first to ensure only one layer of paper is used. Hashish is more common in Europe than in the States, and it is extremely impractical to roll or smoke a hashish spliff without another substance (ie tobacco), so this too can affect the way it is consumed. In the United Kingdom and in many parts of Europe, the spliff comprises a cannabis/tobacco mix and is made from a king sized paper, and most smokers take particular pride in their rolling abillites, so much so it is often a point of contention.

In the U.S., where flowered marijuana is most common, spliffs are generally made without tobacco or crutches/roach and usually with small rolling papers.

There is a growing contingent of enthusiasts interested in preparing spliffs of different shapes and sizes, from the famed Camberwell carrot to more esoteric constructions that have a degree of engineering to them, such as the Dutch Tulip.

In the United Kingdom, high potency marijuana when mixed with hashish into a spliff is known as a Jesusstick.
