Meaning to steal. Originates from african-americans being called "coons" rather than "niggers" or other more offensive slang. Many people considered african-americans to be thieves, hence the term.

Derogatory term for black people. Similar to "nigger." Originally a shortened form of the word "raccoon," used in reference to the animal. The black eye masks and noctural habits of the animal paralleled the characteristics of typical robbers and thiefs. The stereotype was then applied to black people.
FORREST: Hi, Earl! What’s goin’ on?
EARL: Coons are tryin’ to get into school.
FORREST: Coons!? Well, raccoons try to get on our back porch, Momma just chase ’em off with a broom.

FORREST: (with much surprise) With us? They do?

When a person gets so high/ drunk that they drift to another dimension. Most cases of "cooning" involve one person in the alternate dimension and a group of others trying to control said person. On rare occasions the "coon" needs medical attention, but more times than not, this is not the case.
"Last night I was at Landin's house smoking and Justin started Cooning/Coon all over the place. We tried to calm him down, but his mom came and got him anyway.".
"The more and more we smoked, we slowly started to see him start to Cooning/Coon, it was a disaster."
