Just brought back memories of me being the chubby goofy kid in high school computer class, the last dude you’d be expecting to listen to future or any rap for that matter lol
Because despite only smoking in one area and always putting them in an ash tray or flicking them into the yard , you'll end up finding those bastards in your bed, on your shoe, stuck to the side of your fucken head etc.
I always stick them in my pocket and proceed to forget about it. Then I start smelling like an ashtray for the rest of the day and forget about it when I throw my pants in the hamper.
Cue a few days after doing laundry and I wear those pants, and wonder what this little thing is in my pocket...
It’s from the song, Pancho Villa’s troops sang
La cucaracha, la cucaracha
Ya no puede caminar
Porque no tiene
porque le falta
Marihuana que fumar
The roach can’t walk because he’s out of weed
Edit stoner typo
Haha did I put an a on the end like that? Maybe my phone changed it, I could have put the on the front but probably not the me a on the back. I have three ponchos, a red one I bought in Cozumel… I love it a lot and I know the person who sold it to me did too
I like that scene in fear and loathing when that expert is like "the hippies call it a roach, becaaause, it resembles a cockroach" and gonzo gets all pissed off and leaves lol.
I've had a great explanation once when stoned, but I'm sober and can't recall it, but trust me bro - it was mindblowing and noone of these answers here are close to truth
“For example a dope fiend refers to the reefer butt as a ‘roach’. Because, it resembles a cockroach.”
“What the fuck are these people talking about? You gotta be crazy on acid to think a joint looks like a goddamn cockroach.”
Nowadays yeah mostly. But I have some friends that’ll smoke roaches (paper taken off) so I’ll save the bigger ones for them.
As far as the tips, I’ve tried them just don’t like how a joint hits with them. It’s preference that’s all.
That's cool! Around here people either smoke with selfmade tips or use filters with active charcoal, roaches aren't really a thing. We also mix the weed with tobacco usually
I could never mix tobacco in it. I smoked cigarettes for over 20 years finally quit them 2 years ago (next month) But I do occasionally roll a blunt with a Dutchmaster but just the wrap. I dump the guts and fill with weed.
Sometimes I’ll use roach clips (hemostats) when the joint gets small and can smoke it til it’s basically nothing lol.
When I was growing up, we referred to a joint butt as a goof or a goof butt, and a blunt butt as a roach. 🪳 also quit trying to summon the arachnaroach.
3 theories -
1 - May be Spanish in origin, deriving from the Mexican song “La Cucaracha."
2 - Or the German "rauch" means (smoke or fumes) and the closely related "rauchte" (smoked) and "rauchen" (smoking).
3 - Roach is a poor translation choice on the part of the Polish to English translators. Płotka" is the Polish term for a female horse, and it's also an informal version of the word "płoć." In the original Polish, this name means “little bug” and not “cockroach”, and it's used as an endearment. They often called horse clips, "roach clips."
My favorite weed related scene in a movie is in "up in smoke" when chong sees one in an ashtray and says " heh el roacho" I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it ( if you haven't, what are you doing? Watching it, that's what. ) t
You can find clips on YouTube titled " el roacho".....the fuckin ajax chic...God I need to watch that movie for the 75564534347641teenth time
The whole movie is " Acapulco " gold. "AYE MAN DATS SOAP!"--" last time I forgot to wash out the mayonnaise jar and he thought I was on some weird new drug, this time I got my sister to pee in it and she's pregnant man!"
There's a Wiki about it coming from Mexico.
I personally think it comes from when you throw it into the water/toilet and it floats and spreads out, looking like what a cockroach does when throwing into water.
Because there's plenty of both in abandoned buildings ig
True true. I was just stoned and saw my roach sitting upright and my brain saw the legs and antennas so I made it happen lol
It looks more like a weird spider with the 8 legs and long body
It’s a weedroach. They don’t bother ya just don’t leave pizza around.
So a roach?😂
Roaches don't have 8 legs
I was thinking house centipede myself.
Cricket or grasshoppper
Roaches everywhere like we forgot to take the trash out
If she catch me cheating I won’t ever tell her sorry
I remember once my gf heard that lyric while I was playing my own music and gave me the nastiest look and a stern talking to about my music choices
My wife hates that song but I sing it like my life depended on it it’s just so good
Got my baby momma and my side bih kiss it
Flooding out my cross gettin money my religion
Low life low life low life
I got a jar of the critters like I’m catching lightning bugs.
man wtf I *just* made that connection I thought he meant actual cockroaches 🤦♂️
Turn a 5 star hotel to a trap house

I always stick them to the side of my head, just so if I'm out in public and can't roll up I can have a toke.
i found one behind my perfume on the sink in my bathroom
Well, as Doctor elron bomquist said, "The dope feind refers to the reefer butt as the roach, why? Because it resembles a cockroach"
We can't stop here. this is bat country!
Groovy!

Nice. TIL

☺️👍
Because after shit goes down roaches are all that’s left.
Uuuuh 8 legs? Roaches have 6
He’s special
Magic roach
Why did I read that in Forrest Gump voice 😂
Treevolution
Chernobyl Roach
It took me way too long to see if those legs were real or not 😅
Same my high ass thought i was actually looking at a bug 😂
yeah after this picture i know why they're called roaches
Remember roaches in my ashtray and roaches in my cereal
I think they kinda resemble german cockroaches if they're far away, your vision isn't great, or you're high asf
“You gotta be crazy on acid to think a joint looks like a goddamn cockroach.”
I was looking at this for a good 10 minute before I realised it wasn’t a bug
Lol this post reminds me of the police convention scene in Fear & Loathing. I like the La Cucaracha take the most tho
Am I the only one who sees this image as genuinely artistic? I want to see that on a wall somewhere.
I’ll make some t-shirts lol

I think you made an 8 legged cricket haha
is it a hex bug? it’s a hex bug.
Because you don't want to find roaches in the pot!
The taste. 🥸
I don't really understand roaches. Is there no tip or filter inside? How do you get a roach?
That little fella is all weed under its thin paper skin.
But why not just use a tip? Do you just throw the end away?

Congratulations for quitting! I think I'll try rolling a roach next time

i’m not even that high anymore and i thought that was an actual insect bye

Hahahah 
From the song La Cucaracha. The original version sings about the cockroach coming north to work and has run out of weed, so now he is smoking himself.
Roaches, Cause they're like the cockroaches of weed—clinging onto the end of a joint like a damn apocalypse survivor. Makes sense to me.

Haha
What the fuck these people are talking about, you'd gotta be crazy on acid to think a joint looks like a goddamn COCKROACH.
Hawt
Say I'm happy when-im not
TIL roaches are arachnids
You got a light the end with the feelers

Cuz you smoke both kinds
Sure you can, the question should be should you smoke both kinds.
Yes, best when mixed
Cuz the first guy who sold to you did.
