Roach

Roach may refer to several different concepts, including a type of fish, a common name for certain types of cockroach, or a term used in the consumption of cannabis. This article will focus on the latter two definitions.

Cockroach

A roach is a colloquial term for a cockroach, a large and often unwanted insect that can be found in many parts of the world. Cockroaches are known for their resilience and ability to survive in a variety of environments, from the tropics to the Arctic. They are omnivorous and can consume a wide range of organic materials, including human food, paper, cloth, and dead insects.

Cockroaches are often associated with unsanitary conditions and are considered pests. They can carry a variety of diseases, including Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. In addition to their potential to spread disease, cockroaches can also cause allergic reactions in some people.

Cannabis

In the context of cannabis consumption, a roach is the end of a joint or blunt that is too small to be held and smoked without burning the fingers. The term is derived from the Spanish word "rocha", which means "end" or "stub". Roaches are often saved and collected due to the concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound in cannabis, which can be higher in the roach than in the rest of the joint or blunt.

Roaches can be smoked in a variety of ways, including in a pipe, bong, or another joint or blunt. Some cannabis users also save roaches to make cannabutter, a type of butter infused with THC, which can be used in cooking or baking.
