cotton face 

Once a term used with racial hate undertones has now been used widely amongst Gen X marijuana smokers for an entirely different reason with zero derogatory racial intentions. Quite hilarious situation to describe having an extreme case of 'cotton mouth'. AKA 'dry mouth' one of the common side effects from using marijuana. The jump from a standard case of cotton mouth to cotton face requires one of two or both of the following symptoms.

1) Mouth is so dry your tongue will almost stay stuck to your pallet / roof of your mouth making it nearly impossible to speak normally. Feels like if you don't get something to drink immediately you could choke on your own tongue or even your throat will seal shut. & 2) mouth so dry its now affecting your face and it does this when your lips get stuck up above the gum line of teeth. Much like the 'Fire Marshall Bill' character from "In Living Color" comedy skit show of the early 90's played by Jim Carrey.
When hot boxing the car like we use to as teenagers, not only did it bring back some good nostalgic feelings but also some not so fun things like the moment you realize during a stoned monologue about whatever stony minds tend to ponder about just ranting away happily to the sudden urgent need to wet your whistle as lips get curled under and above your gum line and tongue becomes impossible to use correctly in speech as it gets stuck to roof of your mouth. your friends all look at one another and all painfully laugh cause we all have cotton face with lips above the gum line. Roll the window down and lets get a drink !
