A person who's mindset about
smoking weed went from ''it's to have fun occasionally'' to ''going out sucks, let's get high instead''. Generally, they smoke more weed than the average pot smoker, but it's mostly about the mindset. They come to destroy the
relationships they have with non-smokers and prefer to spend their time
smoking weed in groups, often with people they don't even have anything else in common with. Potheads eventually stop seeing the reality that pot does have negative side effects, instead going around telling the world that government propaganda brainwashed everyone to believe pot is bad. Contrarily to a stoner, who can accept that there are some bad effects that come with weed, potheads lead themselves to believe that weed is harmless.
Michael: I dunno man, I smoked weed twice this week. I wouldn't wanna scew up my lungs and I have a basket tourny in two days.
Johnny: Coooooome on! Dude! Caffeine and alcohol are worse for you! Weed is HARMLESS, the
government just tries to make people believe it's bad! Don't
believe that shit!
Michael: Two months ago we were talking about the negative side effects of weed... did you forget?
Johnny: Well that's because I was
brainwashed too but now I saw the light.
Michael: Riiiight.... I'm gonna go. I think you became a real pothead.
Johnny: * shrugs and takes a hit*
