Hello! I´d like to know the meaning or translation of this phrase "roll a joint" I know that it is related to drugs, but I´m not sure about the exact meaning

Thanks in advance

A joint is a marijuana cigarette, hand rolled using a cigarette paper. So to roll a joint means to do just that. To roll up some "grass" in a cigarette paper.

Thanks, I got it! I thought that it was like "smoke dope", but now with your explanation I´ve understood the meaning of this phrase. Thanks

Rolling up grass, you'll be laying the lawn next.

I'm starting to like you curmudgeon "pat is it? Yes, many of the olds came from the emerald isle - both sides of the family. Just by way of defence, I actually have never smoked the stuff at all at all, but have been known to roll on the grass.
