A marijuana cigarette that contains an admixture of tobacco.

CONT

Spliffs are very similar to joints and are made in an almost identical fashion. However, the one key ingredient that sets them apart is tobacco. ... Spliffs are made using a wide variety of papers from flavourless and small to very long and flavourful. Weed is also usually ground up before rolling to optimise ease, shape, and smoothness. Tobacco is then added to the spliff by either mixing it into the ground-up weed, or by layering it into the spliff.
