- Waller Street:
A street in San Francisco
- 5th Avenue:
A very elegant and expensive street in New York City
- bread:
Slang for money
- roaches:
Short for 'cockroach,' but 'roach' is also slang for the small piece of a marijuana joint after most of it has been smoked or the small piece of cardboard used as a mouthpiece for the remaining joint.

That's not quite correct, the definition isn't as restrictive as that. The purpose of the cardboard is so that no roach clip is needed.
The definition isn't consistent throughout the English language, so a roach can refer to the small piece of joint left over after most of it has been smoked or the small piece of cardboard used as a mouthpiece for the remaining joint. I've updated the wording of the annotation to make it more clear.
Nothing in the annotation contradicts that. It doesn't say anything about tobacco, it specifically says marijuana. It gives both the American English and British English definitions and both definitions support the double meaning referring to cockroaches and marijuana.

Correction: A roach would be the end of a joint, the cardboard would be the roach clip ;)
