The
slang term "faded" doesn't necessarily refer to a mental state induced by psychoactive
drugs, such as the common one used among
college students, cannabis. It can also refer to a mental state that one is in naturally, brought about by the company one keeps.
For example, one can use the term faded interchangeably with the idiom 'on cloud
nine,' as in the sentence, "Oh man, being with these people after such a long time makes me feel
like I'm on cloud nine" or "Bro, I was so faded just by chillin with those cool
cats after so long"
