occurs when an individual on
marijuana starts making assumptions that they believe are in fact true.
Stoner science is usually characterized by many illusory correlations i.e., when the
stoned individual believes that two events are related when in reality they are not.
Example 1: the stoned individual believes that since his
dog is stoned and passed out by the water bowl, his
dog is
happy. In reality, the
dog has passed out because he is experiencing marijuana toxicity and probably is not
happy about being poisoned.
Stoner: "Hey man, Ruggles is so
happy after those bong rips he passed out before he could nosh on some
dog munchies. Hell yea!"
Example 2: the stoned individual believes that since he is not as fat as his fatter friend, he can metabolize marijuana more efficiently and get more stoned. In reality, the "stoned" individual purchased lower-grade marijuana and "feels" very high because of a placebo effect, buyer's remorse, or incompetence.
Fat
Guy Stoner: "Hey man, I took 3 bong rips and I am not that high. What's up with that?"
Stoner: "You don't feel anything because you are fat. Don't get mad, it's just science".
Fat Guy Stoner: "Really?" "Because that sounds like some Stoner science."
