The Editing Room 

Established in 1998, The Editing Room, or TER for short, is a website maintained by Rod Hilton at www.the-editing-room.com.

TER is occasionally featured in Total Film Magazine and Cracked.com.

THC Enthusiast 

A habitual user of marijuana who does not conform to the common stereotypes; a regular pot user who does not refer to him or herself as a pothead.
Usually distinguished from a stoner in that the THC enthusiast has a job, goals, and art on their walls portraying something other than Bob Marley.
Person who doesn't grasp the difference: "You smoke every day? You're such a stoner/pothead/burnout/loser."
Person who does: "What do you mean? I have a degree and a better job than yours. I'm not some filthy hippie, I'm just a THC enthusiast."
