Word origin

The term 'doobie' originated in the 1960s as a slang term for a marijuana cigarette. It is believed to be a variation of the word 'dube', which was a term for a marijuana cigarette in the jazz scene. Over time, 'doobie' became a widely recognized term for a joint or a spliff. In more recent years, the term has also been used to refer to a hair bun or chignon, especially in African American and Hispanic communities.
