“Reefer” first appeared in the popular song “Reefer Man,” recorded by Don Redman in 1931. Some say “reefer” was Anglicized from the Spanish “grifa,” a Mexican slang word for marijuana. Others attribute it to the Spanish “reef,” meaning to roll, because marijuana cigarettes are rolled.
reefer (n.)
"marijuana cigarette," 1920s, perhaps an alteration of Mexican Spanish grifo "marijuana, drug addict" [OED]; or perhaps from reef (v.), on resemblance to a rolled sail. It also meant "pickpocket" in criminal slang (by 1935), and Century Dictionary also has it as "oyster that grows on reefs in the wild."
