2. To be under the influence of marijuana, but not alcohol.
Well, everyone's downstairs drinking, but if you just wanna smoke you can go out on the porch. I think there's a couple guys who are high and dry out there.

abandoned and helpess
If she failed to get the bag out of the compartment she'd have been high and dry.

high and dry 

1) A state in which one is left when a partner causes him/her to become sexually excited, but does not allow the person to reach orgasm.

1)
After Jenna stormed out of the apartment yelling and screaming, the sheepdog knew that Luke had been left high and dry again and he'd probably end up with a sore ass in the morning once again.

2)
Cop: "So...you were swerving all over the road. How much have you had to drink tonight?"
Pat: "Nothing, sir. It's just hard to hold the wheel while you're lighting your bowl. I don't drink. I'm high and dry."
Cop: "And you're about to be high and LOCKED THE FUCK UP! Let's go, buddy."
Brian: "Pat, you fucking idiot."
