what is a “roach” when smoking pot??
What is meant by the term "roach" in the context of smoking cannabis? I am curious about its definition and significance.

“Roach” is slang for a very small, last part of a marijuana type cigarette. Picture a cigarette without the filter, if you were to try smoking this cigarette all the way, you would burn your fingers because there is no place to hold it as it is burning down to the bottom.
Keeping this in mind, people usually end up dying out the “joint” (joint is another slang for a marijuana cigarette) before they burn their fingers, this leaves a very small piece of the original whole “joint”.
People save these little pieces or “roaches” to be smoked when they have something to clip onto the “roach” so they can finish smoking it later. (like tweezers or a pin) hence the world “Roach clips”.
Found a video that shows roaches at the very being (link below)
Hope this helps.
