What is Chicha?
1.
Chicha is a beer made from corn that is widely enjoyed in Central and South America. It is a beverage that is often consumed while still fermenting and low in alcohol. It may be left to ferment out, thereby yielding a strong, dry, chicha, but this is not chicha's traditional form. It is generally slightly sour from lactobacillus bacteria introduced during a spontaneous ferment. Chicha may also be spiced with almost anything, or fruit may be added to the ferment or at the time of serving. Traditionally, the fruit used is strawberry and this is called frutillada. Traditionally, all phases of the production of chicha were performed by women, and this is largely true today.

In Venezuela, short for "chicharron" the word used to describe what's left over of a cannabis spliff, defenitely not something worth holding to if you have a fresh stash waiting to be rolled. To qualify as a chicha the only rule is that it has to be 1 1/2" or smaller, anything longer can be consider a "Half Joint". A typical Venezuelan chicha wont have the carton tip, here we roll it jamaican style with the weed showing at the end, no problem. The exact translation to english is
Para darle dos a esa chicha - CAN I TAKE TWO HITS FROM THAT ROACH
