Stoner
A stoner is slang for a member of the subculture of habitual cannabis users. They may or may not identify themselves with other drug related cultures and may even see use of other drugs, especially hard drugs, alcohol and tobacco, as dangerous, addictive or morally wrong. Some stoners may identify with the hippie culture but this is less common than Rastafari movement identification nowadays.
As the number of marijuana users has increased over the past four decades, the stoner's image has become less odd, and less identified with young people. Where once stoners were associated with isolated hippie culture (Woodstock, Grateful Dead etc), they are now increasingly regarded as normal individuals. It is this intersection between suburban life and drug culture which so defines the "updated" icon of the stoner.
The label of stoner may also be used as a slur against marijuana users. Such a usage describes a person who is constantly high throughout the day with the attributes of being unproductive and forgetful of important tasks. It should be noted that this description is not true of most marijuana users.
Stoner culture is built around the effects of marijuana usage and a self described stoner usually has a relaxed attitude. However, most stoners do not let their marijuana usage interfere with the rest of their lives and stoners are often indistinguishable from non-users.
Other drugs sometimes associated with stoners are shrooms, nitrous oxide, and other soft drugs.
disambiguation-stoner is also a term used to describe fans and practitioners of rock music, although rock musicians and rock music fans rarely use the term themselves and consider it offensive ("dumb stoner"
