Stoner vs. Pothead

[Wintersweet]

What, to you, is the difference between a stoner and a pothead? Or is there any difference?

To me, a stoner is the average toker. Your average group of smokin' friends. You like getting stoned and hangin with your friends, just having a good time.

But a pothead...I don't like. When I think of pothead, I think of those smokers who spend all their free time smokin, with not a care in the world about their responsibilities, who'd blow all their extra money on weed. The lazy, stereotypical ones.

[Cassiopiea]

Me agree.

[LIP]

Stoner is a compliment, pothead is an insult. That's the way its always been.

[baisez le monde.]

I take offense to pothead

there are never any pots on my head when people call me that

so therefore there is no just reason to call me that

fucktards....

[Jay Matix]

Yeah i agree...

Stoner = Someone who smokes a lot. But smokes intelligently. Still holds a successful life.

Pothead = Someone who smokes their life away. Unintelligent smoker. With no achievements, goals, nothing. Just spending ever dime they have on weed.

Now where does burnout play into this?

[Kryzco]

burnout its basically a pothead in retrospect isn't it

i considered someone a burnout once they are selling random shit just to get bud

[orangeman]

Well I sell random shit to get money but not to get bud, and I guess I'm Jay Matix's definition of stoner and not Wintersweet's lol. But I'm really gonna slow down because I'm not making enough money to keep buying weed like I do.

[budsmoker]

i dont consider pothead a insult, i think a pothead is just someone who smokes weed everyday and knows more about weed than most people, and i think a stoner is someone who smokes a lot but not everyday, usually just on the weekends and on special ocassions, just my opinion

[Acouwaila]

both are an insult to me.... fuck that....someone calls me a stoner i call them an ignorant pussy ass victim of the media

[wadejason]

um well i dont like stoner because thats like saying "i smoke weed only to get stoned so im a stoner<i>er</i>. and i dont just like the high of weed, so im not that. and pothead i think is a little insult-like, as if they have "amotivational syndrome" like on those stupid above the influence commercials.

i much perfer "cannabis smoker", maybe "smoker"(but everyone may not, what about the vaporizer hitters?) or im cool with "head" or "toker" something like that. even "weed-smoker" i could do...

but thats just me.

[Hempstone]

I'm neither. I don't define myself that way. I'm a hard worker, I bust my butt in one of the biggest and best buffets in America. I put in 10 grueling hours today. I'm a scholar, reasearcher, historian and author. I'm a guitar player, a poet, a writer and public speaker. I'm a former high school wrestler and a former Marine Corps Tank Crewman. I'm a Christian, a son and a friend to many plus I'm a son of the living God. Don't call me a pothead or a stoner.

[Acouwaila]

AMEN HEMPSTONE

[benagain]

they're both the same to me. Neither one bothers me unless it's supposed to put me down or something. then i'd be more concerned about why somones trying to insult me than some words.
oh, and a burnout isn't necessarily someone who gets high. Burnout's just a term from someone whos 'burnt out' from doing something waayy too much and losses thier life to it. at least thats my take on it.

[Fabolous]

Stoner=person who smokes after getting what ever important DONE frist.

Pothead=someone that likes to put pot on there heads

So you're saying that a "pothead" is a person you dont like, because they spend their extra time smoking, and extra money on bud? You guys are just putting a lable on these people. If you dont like people who act like that you dont have to talk shit about them. just dont hang out with them.

[LIP]

I smoke like a Chimney but i have a good job, and i can function fine while im stoned. Im just not lazy... apart from the time i pissed in a bottol cos the barthroom was too far away -7 foot away-

I meant I wouldn't like being called a pothead. I know potheads, I have potheads in my family, and I don't like seeing them waste their life away. But I don't not like them.

As for putting a label on people, yes, yes I am. That's sort of what this thread is talking about. Labels. If you don't like it, why'd you read this thread in the first place?

basically Im the pothead, but I would call myself stoner. Im far from lazy though. I work with a construction company, and we skip around alot of jobs. Mostly we do roofing, but we do pretty much everything. I work 5 days a week from 11:00 (late I know but I have COLLEGE now too) until usually around 8:00pm which is what it gets dark around now.

Like I said above, I go to college also.

stoner = sum1 that has a every day to day life but either gets stoned while doing it or once they get home they just get really stoned
Pothead = sum1 that revolvs there life around smoking weed. a job gets blown out cause all they waan do is smoke weed all day and not really intrested in leaving the house.

I resemble that remark.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Here is how I see it.
Sativa = Pothead.
Indica = Stoner.

Exactly.
