not to be confused with the term pothead, which is used to refer to someone who is positively incapable of functioning without pot and is in many cases very stingy with sharing their stash. stoners however are kind, gentle souls who have either been mellowed out by smoking pot on a regular basis or who started out that way. a true stoner will share his stash with pretty much anyone, anytime, just hit em up and they'll be happy to light up a bowl or a nice fat doobie.
pothead: needs their weed and doesnt much care what they have to do to get it, be it violence, stealing, or whatever level they have to stoop to. these people are the reason people who smoke weed have the social stigma that they get
stoner: definitely enjoys the pleasures of weed but doesn't really need it, but would much rather go through their day stoned than sober. stoners are generous with their weed and are willing to sacrifice their immediate high to let you get 'where you wanna be'. ive never seen a violent stoner in my life, the two just dont seem to go together.

Slang/Street term used to define someone who enjoys smoking marijuana on a daily basis. The common stoner, contrary to popular belief of excessive laziness, trouble making, or having a negative impact on society. In reality the common stoner is none of the above, they are often friendly, laid back, and understanding.
traveler - hey can you tell me how to get to East 12th Street from here?
stoner - yeah man no problem, now all you gotta do is take a left at Knoxville, go straight about a mile then you will hit a stop light and if you went over railroad tracks you went too far man. Now when your at the stoplight take a right then the first left and your on east 12th street dude.
travelers wife - wow that man was really friendly.
traveler - yeah, i think thats what the kids today call a stoner.

Someone who smokes a lot of pot, most likly daily and probably more than once a day. These people are very kind and will be friends with anyone. If they find out you smoke pot also they want to hang out and smoke with you and become friends. Stoners rarely ever want to fight, they keep the peace and pass the bowl. They enjoy smoking weed when drunk or trippin' because it makes the feelings more intense. They probably dont have very much money very often and when they do they buy large ammounts of mary jane. Stoners are not bad people like other people make us out to be. We're just chill people who found our drug of choice.

An individual who smokes or consumes marijuana habitually and ritualistically. Stoner and Pothead are often conflated in everyday discourse, but the two words are actually very different in meaning.
Pothead is a derogatory term used to describe one who is essentially addicted to, and obsessed with, marijuana. This dependence manifests in their appearance, thought processes, behaviors, and speech.
A Stoner, however, is one who defies the "prototypical" wastrel image proposed by mainstream society. These individuals enjoy cannabis on a daily basis, but are clandestine about its use, maintaining this sense of secrecy because of the stigma attached by the hegemonic majority.
These individuals cherish the time and money spent enjoying their holy herb, and will partake in its use with a complete stranger, recognizing a certain, universal connection between Stoners. A relaxation of mind and spirit seems to typify the Stoner; consequently, they unanimously hold an appreciation for ethereal and abstract ideologies. They are generally warm-hearted, introspective, and viscerally imaginative.
One primary misconception is that the Stoner is unintelligent and lazy. While this characterization might be appropriate for a Pothead, Stoners are a stark contrast. There is no doubt that they are predominantly Type B personalities, but such qualities that supposedly suggest “laziness” are merely a testament to their innate ability. The ease with which the Stoner skates through school, classes, and the cognitive tasks of everyday life, despite continuous intoxication, suggests a very high intelligence. In fact, many Stoners can be classified as gifted underachievers: that is, students who perform very well on standardized testing (ie; SATs, ACTs, GREs) but fail to perform to their potential in the academic arena.
Despite their noncompetitive natures and tranquil demeanors, Stoners care deeply about a handful of personal, core values. They will not openly express their innermost beliefs readily, but when they do, their code of ethics is almost always virtuous. They are nonconformists of thought and idea, and as so, choose creative outlets for their renderings. They may not adhere to the hegemonic script of society, but eventually they will find success, and find happiness, unlike “the mass of men.”

Someone who enjoys somking ganja on a regular basis. Stoners aren't scummy people. Anyone who looks down on stoner needs to go to hell. They're peaceful and have more of an appreciation for music and relaxing than most of the population. They also tend to be broke...a lot...
