It is slang, and it is casual — you would hear it between friends, in song lyrics, in a film, never in a news report or a police statement, which would say 'cannabis cigarette'. The word came into English from Jamaica and travelled with reggae music, so it feels strongest in British and Caribbean English; Americans are more likely to say 'joint'.
