- 1大麻菸、大麻煙捲
In this sense, a reefer is a cigarette made with marijuana (cannabis). It is informal, and a bit old-fashioned: older films and older speakers use it; younger people are more likely to say joint, or other slang. It is not a polite classroom word — it names a drug that is illegal in many places, including Taiwan — so treat it as vocabulary you may read, not as a joke to throw around. The same spelling has other lives, though actually: a reefer can also be a truck or shipping container (a of refrigerator), and a reefer jacket is a short navy-style coat. Those are different meanings of the same-looking word; this entry is the drug one.
組成From reef + -er. To reef a sail is to roll or fold it; the jump from sailor talk to ‘marijuana cigarette’ is slang, not a tidy rule. (The ‘fridge truck’ sense is a different word-history: a clipping of refrigerator.)
