Spanish term or phrase: coheticos

Does anyone know the meaning of "coheticos" in this financial use? This is from Venezuela. Thanks.

Explanation:
The "cohetico" is the money. Is it illegal money right? Because that is the way a "malandro" (criminal) talks here in Venezuela.

Explanation:
Si bien no estoy segura, tengo la sospecha de que con "coheticos"se está refiriendo a cigarrillos pero de marihuana y por eso lo de saborearlos y animarse. En Argentina les llamaríamos porros. Fijate la referencia en este pdf que tal vez te ayude.

Asker: I think this is the right answer, but the client thought "coheticos" was an expression meant to say,"Fire the money off" or "send it lickity split". In any case, I concur that it meant the money. Thanks!
