A commonly misused word. Many people mistake being stoned for taking sissy hits of poor quality herb (usually
mooched off someone else) and acting like an intolerable idiot. Frequently, this type of person (referred to as a poser) will annoyingly attempt to exaggerate the stereotypical
psychoactive effects of the drug.
The poser frequently pretends to be
dazed or confused, purposely talks with a slur, laughs at things that aren’t funny, makes inane statements, and most offensive of all shamelessly exclaims something to the order of “Dude, I’m sooooo stooooned! I’m soooo
cooool! Wooo
hooo party!” The poser usually has no regard for accepted rules of smoking etiquette, and generally gives a bad reputation to those who appreciate smoking.
One who knows what it’s all about (referred to as a badass) enjoys being stoned for more
introspective reasons. The badass feels an increased understanding of his or her surroundings, gains insight into
human nature, and has a heightened appreciation for fine music, art, aesthetics and ideas. Although the badass is more than happy to
savor this state of mind alone, he or she also enjoys partaking in interesting conversation about the aforementioned insights with other likeminded individuals. The badass observes accepted rules of proper smoking etiquette, including his or her right to exclude posers from a session. Contrary to popular belief, this type of person can be successful, well educated, and can hold esteemed jobs or positions in the community.
"Dude I'm
sooooo stoned right now! HAHAHAHA!"
"No you're not,
you're an idiot,
get the fuck out of my house"
