Toking

Toking is an informal term primarily used to describe the act of smoking marijuana, often implying recreational use and a relaxed social context. It involves inhaling the smoke produced by burning cannabis. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe the consumption of other substances or engaging in activities in a similar manner, such as leisurely enjoying a cigarette or vaping. The word often carries connotations of relaxation, altered perception, and a potentially illegal activity depending on the jurisdiction. Colloquially, 'toking up' is a common phrase used to indicate the commencement of this activity or the preparation for it within a group of friends or acquaintances. The practice is often associated with a specific culture and set of behaviors related to cannabis consumption. The level of legality of toking widely varies depending on local, state or national government legislation.
