Have you ever met that funny reefer man (reefer man)
Have you ever met that funny reefer man (reefer man)
If he say he swam to China
And he sell you South Carolina
Then you know you're talking to that reefer man.

A cigarette consisting solely of the wicked weed. This, to my understanding, distinguishes it from a 'joint,' which is traditionally rolled with a combination of tobacco and marijuana. However, the american tradition of smot-poking consist mostly of rolling marijuana-only cigarettes, therefore the words 'reefer' and 'joint' are interchangeable.
The word 'reefer' probably comes from sailing terminoligy: when you 'reefer' the sails you narrow them and roll them up, and considering that modern marijuana use originated in the lower class, it's easy to see how a poor deckhand would associate this with the way he rolled his marijuana cigarette.

"Well, it seems there's a reefer behind your ear . . . "
