To its users, the drug has many names—many of them evasive. Marijuana may be called muggles, mooter, Mary Warner, Mary Jane, Indian hay, loco weed, love weed, bambalacha, mohasky, mu, moocah, grass, tea or blue sage. Cigarets made from it are killers, goof-butts, joy-smokes, giggle-smokes or reefers. The word marijuana is of Mexican origin and means “the weed that intoxicates.” It is made from the Indian hemp plant, a spreading green bush resembling sumac. Known to the pharmacopoeia as Cannabis sativa, it is a source of important paint ingredients and rope fiber as well as narcotics. It can be grown easily almost anywhere, hence tends to be inexpensive, as drugs go. Its recent prices (10¢ to 50¢ a cigaret) have placed it beneath the dignity of big-time racketeers. But its furtive preparation and sale afford a modest living to thousands.
In most U. S. cities the marijuana salesman peddles his cigarets to known clients in public places. He is known to his clients as a “pusher.” His clients are known as “vipers.” Etiquette between pushers and vipers is necessarily delicate. When he wants to buy, the viper sidles up to the pusher and inquires “Are ya stickin’?” or “Are ya layin’ down the hustle?” If the answer is affirmative, the viper says, “Gimme an ace” (meaning one reefer), “a deuce” (meaning two), or “a deck” (meaning a large number). The viper may then quietly “blast the weed” (smoke). Two or three long puffs usually suffice after a while to produce a light jag. The smoker is then said to be “high” or “floating.” When he has smoked a reefer down to a half-inch butt, he carefully conserves it in an empty match box. In this condition it is known, in Mexican, as a chicharra, or in English, as a “roach.”

What is with people here never using sources unless they're trying to demolish someone in a debate?

Rosetta Howard - If You'se a Viper (1927)
Dream about a reefer five feet long A mighty mezz, but not to strong You'll be high, but not for long If you'se a viper
I'm the king if everything Well I gotta be high before I can sing Light a tee and let it be If you'se a viper
Now when your throat get dry And you know you're high Everything is dandy Truck on down to your candy store Bust your conk on peppermint candy
Then you'll know your bodies set You don't give a damn about payin' no rent The sky is high and so am I Whoa ho, if you's a viper
[Interlude]
Now when your throat get dry And you know you're high Everything is dandy Truck on down to your candy store Get you kicks off peppermint candy
Then you'll know your bodies set You don't give a damn about payin' no rent Well if you hear the bells ring, ding dong ding If you'se a viper
