| 28 | That's why we get high."'' |

| 31 | The stoner is a comical, spaced-out laid-back character who hangs out, smokes weed, gets beat up, makes bad jokes, and suffers other sorts of ButtMonkey type misadventures, only with more drugs. Almost always denoted by their DrearyHalfLiddedEyes in animation, if his eyes aren't noticeably bloodshot to begin with. The most likely character to get a MushroomSamba bit. He is a cross between ButtMonkey and the wacky guy. Usually somewhere between a [[TechnicalPacifist technical]] and an ActualPacifist, and almost always entirely non-threatening, in physical appearance. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | May very occasionally be prone to [[LetsGetDangerous getting dangerous]], but only rarely and under exceptional circumstances. While cannabis is the drug of choice, psychedelic drugs and {{Fantastic Drug}}s are also used. The character may lack ambition and drive beyond scoring his next baggie of Acapulco Gold, or, if they're already high, soothing their "munchies" with tasty snacks. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The stoner is similar to the 19th Century "funny drunk." However, that became a DiscreditedTrope as groups like Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) gained influence, and warned of the dangers of [[TheAlcoholic heavy drinking]]. The modern stereotype is that drunks are likely to beat you up, while stoners aren't going to hurt anyone, so stoners make better comedy. When PlayedForDrama, they are likely to be burnt-out losers living dead-end lives with no ambition or meaningful aspirations beyond getting high. |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Not to be confused with TheAtoner. One key away means a whole different thing...[[note]]Man, the way I killed those orphans was totally uncool, man![[/note]] |
| 38 | |
| 39 | May evolve into an EruditeStoner if they philosophize about Nietzsche and Buddhism. If the character fits the type but is never shown actually toking on weed, to avoid the disapproval of MoralGuardians, that's a GRatedStoner. Expect them to [[FourTwentyBlazeIt make reference to a certain number]], too. See also TheSlacker and SurferDude for related laid-back character types. Compare GranolaGirl, NewAgeRetroHippie, and MellowFellow. |

| 45 | |
| 46 | [[folder:Advertising]] |
| 47 | * American fast food chain Advertising/JackInTheBox ran [[https://youtu.be/7lsvFX1AWTc a pair]] [[https://youtu.be/r5rlbOqQq7w of commercials]] for their late night menu, featuring 2 tacos for 99¢, showing a stoner in a van getting confused by the menu. In both, he imagines the Jack bobblehead on his dashboard talking to him. And in both, he has the munchies. |
| 48 | -->'''Jack:''' You weren't really gonna eat 99 tacos, were you?\ |
| 49 | '''Stoner:''' No... [[ByNoIMeanYes yeah]]. |
| 50 | [[/folder]] |
| 51 | |
| 52 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 53 | * ''Manga/BlackLagoon'': Leigharch has this huge pile of used cocaine (pot in the anime) stubs. This causes him to hallucinate weird things, say weirder things, and get kicked by Revy for being high on the job. Despite this, he's an awesome getaway driver. Deconstructed when it's eventually revealed that he overdosed and got put in an insane asylum. |
| 54 | * Sabba in ''Manga/{{Dreamland}}'', to the point he [[VisualPun sells one arm]] to buy a super strong weed (sure he didn't know what that "life essence" he was asked to pay was, but he didn't really stop to think twice either). This trope is implied to be the ''reason'' he could become a Traveller without overcoming any phobia (and thus has no power of his own). |
| 55 | * A popular {{fanon}} for The Netherlands and Canada in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', coming from their relatively liberal drug policies from RealLife. In fairness, Finland did say that the Netherlands was into some "shady drugs". |
| 56 | ** As of the 2010 Christmas event, partially confirmed in Canada's case (We know he smokes pot, but not how often). |
| 57 | [[/folder]] |
| 58 | |
| 59 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 60 | %%* The entire cast of ''ComicBook/BobTheDog''. |
| 61 | * Pike from ''ComicBook/ElfQuest''. A positive example: his love for the mellow world of a dreamberry haze makes him excellent at telling colorful stories, and he became the tribe's historian ("Keeper of the Howl") because of it. |
| 62 | * ''ComicBook/TheFabulousFurryFreakBrothers'', who between the three of them have at one time or another ate, drank, snorted, smoked or injected just about everything conceivable that wouldn't be instantly poisonous. |
| 63 | * Flax Seed from the Rarity issue of ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' is obviously never seen actually smoking pot (it's ''My Little Pony'' after all), but his personality fits this stereotype to a tee. WordOfGod on the matter is essentially "I can't ''say'' he's stoned, but he pretty much is." |
| 64 | [[/folder]] |
| 65 | |
| 66 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 67 | * ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': |
| 68 | ** Mr. Popo. It's how Kami keeps him even slightly under control. It's taken to exaggerated levels in the Androids/Cell saga, where Mr. Popo spends part of it tripping on a gallon of LSD. A ''literal'' gallon. Out of a milk jug. Kami doesn't even know where he ''got'' it, as he never leaves the lookout. |
| 69 | ** Kami as well, since "that shit's great for his glaucoma". |
| 70 | ** Master Roshi as well. And he does ''not'' hold back when he's toasted. |
| 71 | ** Count Dende in as well. |
| 72 | -->'''Popo''': Worry not; all you really need is a little green.\ |
| 73 | '''Dende''': I ''explicitly'' asked you not to call me that!\ |
| 74 | '''Popo''': ''(holds up a blunt)'' I'm not!\ |
| 75 | '''Dende''': ''(narrows eyes and smirks)'' ...Yo. |
| 76 | %%* Lazy Smurf is interpreted as this in ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf''. |
| 77 | * ''Fanfic/GuysBeingDudes'': A stereotypical one of these is among the patronage at the Sleepless Bakery. Candela and Arlo also share a joint during his {{Flashback}} of their past relationship. |
| 78 | * Subverted in ''Fanfic/HighlyQuestionableDecisions''. While she didn't consume any drugs, Satsuki acts like one when she "turns off her brain" (at Ryuuko's advice). Naturally, those around her assumed she was on drugs. |
| 79 | * The [[Series/{{Glee}} Warbler member]] Nick is a foul-mouthed, HotBlooded pot-smoker in ''Fanfic/HuntingTheUnicorn.'' The Warblers constantly call him a stoner, but it's more of an in-joke since he only smokes a couple of times a week. He's [[CloudCuckooLander prone to strange logic]] even without getting stoned. |
| 80 | * ''[[Fanfic/LivingTheDreamKickass222urmom Living The Dream]]'' |
| 81 | ** There's not a moment where you will find Greg without a blunt. He learned {{Transmutation}} for the sole purpose of bringing weed to Equestria. Weed is not the only substance he's willing to get high on though, seeing as he broke into a hospital to steal morphine. |
| 82 | ** To a lesser extant is Greg's dog Weedy, who was chain smoking blunts at only a month old. |
| 83 | * In ''Fanfic/MaimDeMaim'', Satsuki is literally this throughout most of the fiction until[[spoiler: her Kamui partner told her that the very last batch she acquired and ingested was salvia, which is not terribly fun for the unprepared. Now upholding her promise to Junketsu, she has now decided to quit weed for a while; which will only, in turn, improve her already astonishing performance with Junketsu]]. |
| 84 | * Absolutely everyone in ''Fanfic/MarijuanaSimpson''. Marge at one point gets so high she forgets Homer is her husband, not her father. |
| 85 | * The fan game ''VideoGame/PokemonInsurgence'' has Xavier, the Gym Leader of Vipik City. While it's not explicitly stated, one of the trainers in his gym complains about the weird mist coming from his room, his house in Helios City is visibly filled with mist and smoke, and he Mega Evolves his Beedrill with a Mega Bong. |
| 86 | * In ''Blog/TheSetupWizard'' when HufflepuffHouse is allowed to select the name for the wireless network they go with Huff, Huff, Pass. Fortunately, the rest of the Hogwarts' staff are too out of touch to get it. |
| 87 | * ''Fanfic/TheSimpsonsTeamLASH'': Otto, as in canon. This quote from "First Day of Cruel" puts it best: |
| 88 | ->'''Simon:''' Why did you just ignore me like that? Are you high? |
| 89 | ->'''Otto:''' ''Constantly.'' |
| 90 | [[/folder]] |
| 91 | |
| 92 | [[folder:Film -- Animation]] |
| 93 | * ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' has Fred, the quintessential college stoner dude. He’s got long hair, a knit cap, and necklace inspired by big stompy lizard monsters, an adorkable love of comic books and some questionable hygiene practices. It's all stoner stereotypes and while Disney hasn't specified what it is he's quitting, the matter is settled in his line just before they meet Yokai... |
| 94 | --> '''Fred:''' My name is Fred, and it's been thirty days since my last- HOLY MOTHER OF MEGAZON!!! |
| 95 | --> ''(Yokai starts to loom above them with millions of microbots))'' |
| 96 | --> '''Fred:''' Is... Is anyone else seeing this? |
| 97 | %%* Louie from ''WesternAnimation/TheBumbabyetOfTheSwan'' became this when he drank fizzy pond water. |
| 98 | * [[TheNapoleon Reggie]] from ''WesternAnimation/FreeBirds'' became this after having an overdose of [[GRatedDrug T.V. and Pizza]]. |
| 99 | * Bobby in ''WesternAnimation/AGoofyMovie'' is a (very) thinly veiled stoner, who even goes on to [[ContemplatingYourHands contemplate]] [[LampshadeHanging his]] [[WhiteGloves gloves]] in the DTV sequel. |
| 100 | %%* [[KillerGorilla King Malbert]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'' gets high for bulling [[IdiotHero Igor]], A LOT! |
| 101 | * Ernie and Bernie from ''WesternAnimation/SharkTale'' are lampshaded to be this. Not only that they [[TheGrotesque look like they smoked too much]] but [[ChaoticStupid they're very stupid as well]]. |
| 102 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', this is unconfirmed, but Ming suspects this is why Devon is so lethargic and, in her opinion, looks much older than he is. |
| 103 | [[/folder]] |
| 104 | |
| 105 | [[folder:Film -- Live-Action]] |
| 106 | * In ''Film/AmericanUltra'', Mike Howell is just your typical small-town, loser, stoner. Dead-end job, doodling his daydreams and ideas in a journal, local sheriff harassing him about all the petty arrests for minor trouble he's been picked up on and the "too good for him" girlfriend that babysits him. The only thing differentiating Mike from most of the other people on this page is that besides enjoying getting high, he used to be in a secret CIA program that trained him to be an unstoppable super-badass. He just doesn't remember any of that. |
| 107 | * ''Film/AsYouAre'': Jack and Mark spend a lot of time smoking weed and cutting school. Sarah sometimes joins them. |
| 108 | * Friend from the indie movie ''Film/TheAuteur''. So named because he is one to all living things. Purveyor of multiple kinds of weed that mess with your head. Lives in a nudist commune. Records bird sounds. |
| 109 | * ''Film/TheBigLebowski'': The Dude fits this trope quite well (and spectacularly), though the movie makes it clear that he is actually [[OnlySaneMan not as crazy and silly]] as basically everyone else. Creator/TheCoenBrothers mention in one of the behind-the-scenes documentaries that his "liberal drug use" allowed them to insert several fantasy sequences and a BusbyBerkeleyNumber without breaking the tone of the movie. Creator/JeffBridges also asked the Coens to tell him if The Dude had burned one on the way over so he could rub his eyes to achieve the appropriate level of redness. |
| 110 | %%* ''Franchise/BillAndTed'', except they don't take drugs. Not explicitly, at least. |
| 111 | * Harold from ''Film/TheBoysInTheBand''. However, he's a witty DeadpanSnarker and least ButtMonkey-ish character in the cast. |
| 112 | * ''Film/TheCabinInTheWoods'' has an initially straight example in Marty - with the variation that his drug use actually helped immunize him against some of the chemicals released in the cabin, and his [[ConspiracyTheorist paranoia]] was thoroughly accurate. He actually proves to be fairly [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass smart]]. |
| 113 | * ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'': |
| 114 | ** Assistant groundskeeper Carl Spackler is working on a hybrid of marijuana and turf grass, that can be used for both putting and smoking. He smokes some with Ty Webb. |
| 115 | ** Danny Noonan also admits to Ty that he gets high: |
| 116 | --->'''Ty:''' You take drugs, Danny?\ |
| 117 | '''Danny:''' Every day.\ |
| 118 | '''Ty:''' Good. Then what's your problem?\ |
| 119 | '''Danny:''' I don't know. |
| 120 | ** Also Lacey Underall likes to go to bullfights on acid. She's sitting at a table at the yacht club table with Spaudling Smails and the other assembled young people who are smoking marijuana and presumably, she's smoking with them. When she goes to [[ThePornomancer pick up Danny and take him to bed]], she gets annoyed when she walks up to him with Terry the Hippie and finds out that he doesn't have that much weed when they walk up to Danny: |
| 121 | ---> '''Lacey:''' Hey Carey Grant... you wanna get high?\ |
| 122 | '''Terry:''' Wait a minute! I only got a little!\ |
| 123 | '''Lacey:''' Then split, okay, Terry?\ |
| 124 | '''Terry:''' Sure. |
| 125 | * Creator/CheechAndChong are likely the originators of this trope, seldom appearing in a film without their trademark joints, smoking it up throughout. |
| 126 | * Eve Lydon from ''Film/{{Crank}}'' is Chev's pothead girlfriend. In the first movie, her constant pot smoking makes her oblivious to everything going on around her. |
| 127 | * Snuffy and Right Hand from ''Film/{{Crooklyn}}'' who are often seen huffing glue |
| 128 | * Subverted in ''Film/DarkShadows'': |
| 129 | -->'''Carolyn Stoddard:''' Are you stoned or something?\ |
| 130 | '''Barnabas Collins:''' They tried stoning me, my dear. It did not work. |
| 131 | %%* Gavin and UV in ''Film/DisturbingBehavior''. |
| 132 | * Jesse and Chester from ''Film/DudeWheresMyCar''. Although they talk about getting high all the time and mention having marijuana-themed aliases in one scene, neither of them are actually seen smoking in the film. In fact, the only character who does toke onscreen is a dog. |
| 133 | %%* Ben from ''Film/TheFamilyStone''. |
| 134 | * Jeff Spicoli from ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh''. It’s easier to list the times where he’s ''not'' stoned. |
| 135 | * Freeburg in ''Film/FreddyVsJason'', who is an {{Expy}} of Jay, constantly getting blazed even when there are serial killers roaming around. In fact, his drug use allows Freddy to possess him without any problems. |
| 136 | * ''Film/{{Friday}}'' gives us Smokey, who is often seen smoking and constantly acting the fool throughout most of the film. |
| 137 | * Fred of ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' isn't seen actually toking up on-screen, but his extremely calm, slightly drowsy demeanor while everyone else is freaking out and his penchant for snacking are a huge tipoff to anyone paying the slightest attention. In the original cut, this was supposed to be explicit but was cut to keep the film's PG rating, but it's still pretty obvious. |
| 138 | * The main trio from ''[[Film/GameOverMan2018 Game Over, Man!]]'', but especially Darren, who is seen smoking salvia more than once. |
| 139 | * ''Film/TheGingerweedMan'': The titular Gingerweed Man can be seen lighting up a bong near the start of the movie (which gets him chewed out by Barbara for smoking their profits. He's implied to do it again during the intermission. One of his costumers is also taking a bit from a bong when he makes a delivery. |
| 140 | * ''Film/TheGoldenVoyageOfSinbad''. Haroun's father is tired of him lying around all day smoking hashish, so he pays Sinbad gold and a slavegirl to take the boy away. |
| 141 | * Bjarne, one of the main characters of ''Film/TheGreenButchers'', is smoking a lot of weed, very obviously as a way of self-medicating his anger issues. He claims to smoke about 20 joints a day, and that because of this he probably wouldn't be able to smell if his hair was on fire. |
| 142 | * ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle''. This is the first notable instance of mainstream stoners, who are explicitly not slackers, but rather, productive members of society. (Harold is an investment banker (before the current crisis) and Kumar has untapped potential to be a doctor.) |
| 143 | * ''Film/HighSchool2010'': Travis Breaux and his stoner friends, of course. He's introduced with them pulling pranks on him while he's sleeping, and waking up after spending a lot of time at the bottom of a pool full of water. It's also him convincing Henry to smoke a joint that ends up causing the events of the movie. |
| 144 | * There is a song in the first ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' film that introduces the school's various cliques - nerds, jocks, etc - including one that appears to be a Disneyfied version of a group of stoners, complete with proclamations of "duuuude..." |
| 145 | * ''Film/{{Lycan}}'': Kenny spends most of the movie smoking a joint, but it doesn't seem to affect him. |
| 146 | * In ''Film/{{Mabul}}'', Yoni's irresponsible father Gidi secretly grows marijuana at his workplace and spends a lot of time stoned. |
| 147 | * Drazic, in ''Film/TheMansion'', arrives with a suitcase full of various botanical drugs and he's seldom seen in the film not lighting up. His role takes plot significance when first Charlotte undergoes a MushroomSamba courtesy of his "mushroom cupcakes" and later when the villain is taken out by his [[ToadLicking "Tibetan frog"]]. |
| 148 | * While almost everyone else in ''Film/{{Neighbors|2014}}'' is also this Mac fits the image best, bringing over weed to the frat house a peace offering, getting stoned while at work and [[spoiler: realising Teddy's combination lock number could only be [[FourTwentyBlazeIt 420.]]]] |
| 149 | * In ''Film/NemesisGame'', Dennis, the customer in Vern's comic book shop, appears to constantly stoned and completely awed and overwhelmed by Vern's riddles. However, this turns out to be ObfuscatingStupidity. |
| 150 | %%* Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), Red (Danny [=McBride=] and Saul Silver (James Franco) in ''Film/PineappleExpress''. Saul and Red also are drug dealers. |
| 151 | * Matthew, Harvey, and Dr. Bamford in ''Film/SavingGrace'' to varying degrees. Matthew likes to think of himself as easygoing (although he can be high strung), Harvey tries to be an [[EruditeStoner Erudite Stoner]] but ends up more of a [[ConspiracyTheorist Conspiracy Theorist]]. Dr. Bamford is a slacker prone to crashing on couches but seems to be a surprisingly competent doctor. It's implied there isn't much for anyone under 50 in the town to do except get stoned and hang out at the pub.) |
| 152 | * Shorty in ''Film/ScaryMovie'' and ''Scary Movie 2''. |
| 153 | * Played with in ''Film/ScaryMovie3'': |
| 154 | -->'''Sayaman:''' I'm sorry, dude.\ |
| 155 | '''Tom:''' Don't call me "dude". I'm not a stoner anymore. Not since... |
| 156 | * Troy in ''Film/{{Shrooms}}'', who is on the mushrooming trip for the sole purpose of getting high. He smokes a bong on the way from the airport to the forest. He also looks quite a lot like Jay from Film/TheViewAskewniverse. |
| 157 | * Palmer from ''Film/TheThing1982''. And to a lesser extent his roommate Childs (they were growing marijuana in the storage room) |
| 158 | * Floyd from ''Film/TrueRomance''. It was Creator/BradPitt's idea to make the character a stoner. He based this character insight on the fact that the guy is always sitting around at home in the living room. Although we tropers generally aren't in the business of citations, you can hear Brad Pitt explain it in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8QylVQafcE#t=3m51s this time-stamped youtube link]]. |
| 159 | * Jay of Film/TheViewAskewniverse is a particularly energetic variation, whereas his partner Silent Bob better fits the relaxed stoner stereotype. Both also explicitly deal pot. |
| 160 | %%* Josh Peck's character in ''Film/TheWackness''. |
| 161 | * ''Film/AWedding1978'': One of the bridesmaids, Muffin's cousin Ruby, spends a lot of her screen time trying to find out if anyone else at the wedding has any marijuana to share with her. |
| 162 | * In ''Film/{{Wishcraft}}'', Brett's best friend Howie is convinced he has done enough to pass and is happy to spend the rest of his final year getting high. (And hitting on the school's grief counselor.) |
| 163 | * ''Film/TheWraith'': Skank drinks car chemicals to get high. |
| 164 | %%* Fanon and MemeticMutation often depict Sean (Banshee) from ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' this way. |
| 165 | %%* [=McBride=] and Franco do it again in ''Film/YourHighness''. |
| 166 | [[/folder]] |
| 167 | |
| 168 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 169 | * In Creator/JohnMoore blends this with JunkieProphet in his FracturedFairyTale, ''Bad Prince Charlie''. The oracle that Charlie goes to see for advice with his troubles turns out to be a very young, very naked, and very stoned girl, who is prone to saying "wow" a lot, and constantly has the munchies. ''Very'' loosely inspired by some historians' notions of the Oracle at Delphi in Ancient Greece. |
| 170 | -->'''Polocks:''' You see, she's called the High Priestess because... |
| 171 | -->'''Charlie:''' I get it! I get it, ok? Don't run it into the ground. Dammit, Pollocks, you brought me all the way up here to meet a stoner? |
| 172 | %%* ''Literature/DancingAztecs'': Chuck Harwood. The appendix even calls him a pothead. |
| 173 | * ''Literature/DeadEndJobMysteries'': During the first two books, one of Helen's neighbors at the apartment complex is Phil, a man she's never seen except for a perpetual cloud of weed smoke coming out of his apartment (and a brief glimpse of his "Clapton is God" t-shirt when he pulled her out of her burning apartment in book 1), to the point where she's nicknamed him "Phil the invisible pothead". In book 2, she also finds drug paraphernalia in his apartment when she and an exterminator go in to make sure everything's been removed before the apartments are gassed for termites. Then Book 3 subverts it in a big way when Helen finally meets him in person and finds out that the stoner persona is all an act - he's really a private investigator and consultant with the government, and is working undercover in order to solve a major money laundering case (which she winds up helping him with). |
| 174 | %%* ''Literature/GoingBovine'' contains many stoners, from the main character to the three stoners who hang out in the high school bathroom. |
| 175 | * ''Literature/InherentVice'' has Doc lighting up on a regular basis, as do his friends and neighbours. Even his parents. |
| 176 | * The ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'' has Emancipor Reese. He once [[spoiler:brought down a theocracy]] with [[ItMakesSenseInContext the stimulant seeds on his handkerchief]]. |
| 177 | * A female version exists and is played around with in ''Metal Star Prophecies: The Green Owl''. Matsuda Tsuroba likes getting high, but sometimes it's because she's with her boyfriend, and sometimes she does it as a means to alleviate her stress and worries about graduation from high school. She's also more approachable when stoned; sober Matsuda's a little more apprehensive and realistic. |
| 178 | * ''Literature/NaughtyNineTalesOfChristmasCrime'': Arlo Hettle, from "I Killed Santa Claus," "Naughty," and "Naiveté," is an unmotivated and unimaginative user of marijuana and various borrowed over-the-counter drugs who can barely hold down a job as a mall elf with "a memory like a sponge...by which I mean it's soggy and full of holes." |
| 179 | --> '''Hannah:''' Demerol? Geez, Arlo, can't you just say no?\ |
| 180 | '''Arlo''': Man, I can't even say "maybe." |
| 181 | * ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'''s parody of the ''Hashishin'' in ''Literature/{{Sourcery}}'', renowned for being deadly and, at the same time, inclined to giggle, groove to interesting patterns of light on their daggers, and fall over. |
| 182 | * ''Literature/TheStrangerTimes'': Manny is a laid-back DreadlockRasta who smokes weed to treat his glaucoma (allegedly). He occasionally shares a blunt with his coworker Ox. |
| 183 | * Chris Lang in ''Literature/TomorrowWhenTheWarBegan''. He's shown to be a weird genius with more of a drinking problem than anything else, in the film he wears a dressing gown, is prone to weird, like, ''weird'', stoner-talk and smokes on screen. |
| 184 | [[/folder]] |
| 185 | |
| 186 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 187 | * ''Series/{{Atypical}}'': |
| 188 | ** Zahid smokes a lot of weed. At one point it almost costs him his job after his boss catches him several times smoking on Techtropolis property, until Sam lies that he smokes it for his autism. During the fourth season, Zahid and Sam come to an agreement in the apartment that they share that Zahid won't smoke weed around Sam's tortoise Edison. Later, Doug and Elsa arrives at the apartment when Sam and Zahid aren't home and Elsa finds a huge jar of weed, which she confiscates. Later, Doug returns the jar back to Zahid, who gives him a joint that he and Elsa share back at home. |
| 189 | ** Elsa, to a lesser extent. In the first season while having her affair with Nick, she reluctantly takes hits off of his bong and later lets it slip to the mom of someone on Casey's track team about Casey's tentative move to the Claymore private school; this results in all of Casey's team being mad at her as she is their star runner, and her leaving would jeopardize the entire team. |
| 190 | * ''Series/BobHeartsAbishola'': Douglas and Christina are both, in their mother's words, "useless potheads." Being spoiled rich kids with terrible self-esteem issues is an understandable reason however. |
| 191 | * Jesse from ''Series/BreakingBad'' started out like this. His stoner nature made him initially almost completely useless, except for his ability to befriend other drug users who help to deal his product. However, all the bad stuff he witnessed and participated in caused him to become a much more serious person. In later seasons when he goes OffTheWagon he uses harder drugs like heroin and there is nothing funny about it anymore. |
| 192 | * ''Series/ClassOf07'': Megan and Tegan are initially set on just getting high with nothing else as their goals. They cheerfully accept being labeled drug addicts. Both spend most of their time doing this together, joking around and frequently getting into trouble in pursuit of it. |
| 193 | * ''Series/TheConsultant2023'': Amy, one of the supporting characters, turns out to be a frequent drug user. She smokes pot once with Craig in her car, and Amy admits she'd been on ketamine after Sang's murder for a time. Amy's a slightly hippieish woman who ditches her shoes in the office to put her feet up and has an overall casual air, with her having QuirkyCurls, though it's very {{downplayed}} in general. |
| 194 | * Jon Stewart occasionally plays this on ''Series/TheDailyShow'', usually with a reference to ''Film/HalfBaked'' (where he played the Enhancement Smoker). After a comment by Creator/BillOReilly, his fans have taken to calling themselves the [[FanCommunityNicknames Stoned Slackers]]. |
| 195 | * The presmise of ''Series/{{Disjointed}}'' depicts people who work at a marijuana dispensery...so, yeah. |
| 196 | * On ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Ted, Marshall, and Lily were this when they were in college. They grew out of it, but occasionally slip back into it for old times sake (although by the year 2020, they complain that they can't handle more than one joint anymore). However, since Future!Ted is telling the story to his kids, he replaces all mentions of smoking pot with "eating a sandwich", with a corresponding visual euphemism. |
| 197 | %%* Taco from ''Series/TheLeague''. |
| 198 | * A good chunk of the characters on ''Series/{{Mom}}'' smoke weed. While the show doesn't take much a moral stance for or against it, it does highlight the stupid and/or dangerous things people can do while high and how such behavior can anger/annoy those who don't partake. |
| 199 | ** Luke smokes, although it's implied that it's as much recreational as it is to try and cope with his overbearing father. It's also shown that being perpetually high doesn't do him any favors. With or without the pot, however, he is a good-natured, but extremely dim, goof. |
| 200 | ** Baxter sees being high as a good thing, even when it comes to issues of personal safety. |
| 201 | -->'''Baxter''': "Never fall sober! You tense up! |
| 202 | -->'''Christy''': "Thanks for the tip. |
| 203 | -->'''Baxter''': "It's a scientific fact: you can't get hurt when you're high. I don't make the rules!" |
| 204 | ** Marijuana is probably the least of Chef Rudy's vices, as the show reveals that he takes and deals in a wide variety of substances and sexual fetishes. The substance abuse element of Rudy's character is TruthInTelevision for many people trying to cope in the incredibly stressful food industry. |
| 205 | ** Adam smokes weed. When Tammy's parole officer pays a surprise visit, Christy barely has enough time to send Bonnie a quick text warning her. Bonnie quickly runs into the bedroom, where Adam is taking hits from a bong, and she throws it out the window and runs back out without explanation. Adam is rightfully pissed. |
| 206 | * The Electric Mayhem from ''Franchise/TheMuppets''. In the 2015 series, Kermit notes that they're "Always happy. Legally, now." |
| 207 | * On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Earl and Randy once robbed a stoner of all his possessions, so he's on The List. They track him down only to discover that he gave up drugs and is now living off the grid on a hippie commune. To make up for what they did, Earl and Randy agree to live on the commune for a week and try to [[GreenAesop green up their lifestyles and educate people about global warming]]. [[spoiler: Earl has a breakdown, while Randy trips out on a salve given to him, and the ex-stoner guy gave Earl some much-needed advice about not taking on more than he can handle and not having to be perfect.]] |
| 208 | * ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'': In "[[Recap/TheOuterLimits1995S6E14Abaddon Abaddon]]", Curtis Sandoval, the medical officer of the interplanetary hauling vehicle ''Pequod'', is a major stoner who uses drugs to escape reality as he hates his life and his job. He likes to call himself "Dr. Feelgood". |
| 209 | * On ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'', the Pawnee Animal Control department is run by 2 stoners who eventually get fired. There's also the former head of the Parks Department who grows pot in some public park flowerbeds. |
| 210 | * On ''Series/SchittsCreek'' multiple characters smoke weed, with Mutt being the most stereotypical stoner character. Stevie and David smoke together more than once, including the time that led to[[spoiler: their first hookup.]] Even the older generation gets high at the Schitts' luau. |
| 211 | * Samantha on ''Series/SexAndTheCity'' is often shown smoking a joint. The other girls happily smoke pot too. |
| 212 | * ''Series/StrangerThings'': |
| 213 | ** Argyle spends most of season 4 stoned, and his reaction to upsetting things like getting shot at or having a guy die in his van is to smoke more weed. He also gives lots of strangely worded advice of varying qualities while thus. |
| 214 | ** To a lesser extent, Jonathan, but he stops after realizing that Eleven is in trouble. |
| 215 | ** Then there's "Argyle 2.0," whom Jonathan is able to bribe into leaving Surfer Boy Pizza with Argyle's Purple Palm Tree Delight. |
| 216 | * ''Series/{{Taken}}'': In "Acid Tests", the archaeology student Daryl seems to be perpetually high, taking it in his stride when he falls into a burial chamber. He is later seen smoking a joint while trying on a Tsimtshian mask. |
| 217 | %%* Hyde from ''Series/That70sShow''. Actually, half the cast fit this description, but Hyde is the best example. |
| 218 | %%** Except he tends to beat ''other'' people up. |
| 219 | %%*** Leo is a far better example. |
| 220 | %%*** That's probably because Tommy Chong is this trope. |
| 221 | %%* Andy Botwin in ''Series/{{Weeds}}'' |
| 222 | %%* Dr. Johnny Fever on ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati.'' |
| 223 | * 'Stoner' (no other name given) in ''Series/TheXFiles'' episodes "[[Recap/TheXFilesS03E12WarOfTheCoprophages War of the Coprophages]]" and "[[Recap/TheXFilesS03E22Quagmire Quagmire]]". Although he does not get beaten up, both times he and his girlfriend ('Chick' or 'Redheaded Chick') watch as [[spoiler:a third member of the group dies as a result of whatever drug Stoner is enjoying]]. |
| 224 | [[/folder]] |
| 225 | |
| 226 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 227 | * {{Deconstructed}} also in Afroman's "Because I got high". A very happy sounding song about a man whose drug use ruins his entire life. He loses his job, his kids, wife and ends up homeless... because he got high. |
| 228 | ** The deconstruction is subverted in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY5q9ufbqJo "positive remix"]] Afroman teamed up with Weed Maps years later to do, a song about the medicinal and societal benefits of cannabis. |
| 229 | %%* Music/{{Beck|Musician}}'s early music, gradually faded out around the time of Mutations. |
| 230 | * Music/TheBlackCrowes are famed for appearing on the cover of High Times Magazine. Chris Robinson is an avowed stoner. |
| 231 | * Music/BoneThugsNHarmony: In fact, Krayzie Bone smoked so much that one of his lungs collapsed!! |
| 232 | * Music/CypressHill's music may as well be considered the stoners' anthem. ''Entertainment Weekly'' once called them simply "Pot Rappers". |
| 233 | %%* Music/MileyCyrus [[http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/miley-cyrus-on-why-she-loves-weed-went-wild-at-the-vmas-and-much-more-20130927 has admitted to being one]] as of 2013. |
| 234 | * Music/DrDre's music had weed as a common theme. However, some have pointed out that there's no ''actual proof'' that he really smokes weed, leading to the theory that it's just an act to [[MoneyDearBoy boost sales]]. |
| 235 | %%* [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Domo Genesis]] |
| 236 | * Music/HedPE doesn't often address it in their music, but the band are well-known to be marijuana smokers. |
| 237 | * Music/IceCube's track "Smoke Some Weed" off his album ''Laugh now, Cry Later'' name-checks several celebrities as having partaken in the herb, including some [[TruthInTelevision surprising]] ones who hit that [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness in their early days]]. |
| 238 | -->'''Ice Cube''': "[[UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush George Bush]], {{Music/George Clinton}}, [[UsefulNotes/BillClinton Bill Clinton]] |

| 244 | -->[[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague Ricky Williams]], [[TakeThat fuck how]] {{UsefulNotes/Miami}} feeling |
| 245 | -->[-''Smoke some weed!''-]" |
| 246 | * Music/BillyJoel wrote what may be the most accurate {{Deconstruction}} of the character type in "Captain Jack". In the words of the man himself: |
| 247 | --> What's so terrible about a college teen's life that he has to shoot heroin? People say the song promotes drugs and masturbation, I say no. This guy's a loser. |
| 248 | %%* Music/KottonmouthKings, obviously. |
| 249 | %%* GreggAlexander's work, both solo and with Music/NewRadicals. |
| 250 | * Music/WillieNelson, in keeping with his "outlaw country" image, is a major activist for marijuana rights, and has even done a bit of jail time for weed-related offenses. Now that it's becoming more legalized in the USA, he's announced plans to launch his own self-branded line of cannabis products. |
| 251 | * Danny "Sexbang" Avidan of Music/NinjaSexParty has admitted to being one in his twenties, describing one particular incident of him spending three straight days sitting on a couch doing nothing but eating pot brownies. He eventually quit and since a stomach illness prevents him from drinking alcohol (not that he had much of a taste for it to begin with), [[AddictionDisplacement his only vice nowadays is Skittles]]. |
| 252 | * Pretty much everyone in OF is known to enjoy marijuana, with the exception of UsefulNotes/StraightEdge Tyler. |
| 253 | * Sean Paul. He even wrote a song called "We Be Burnin'" which is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmE0-5DxRAw a plea to legalize marijuana.]] ExecutiveMeddling made him record a [[{{Bowdlerizaton}} Bowdlerized]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEXN45Mtxc version]] suitable to play on mainstream radio. |
| 254 | * Subverted in Ka'ikena Scanlan's Hawaiian hit, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN6gdacK7Tc Smoke All Day]]. The IntentionallyAwkwardTitle refers to, as the song says, "smok[ing] meat, not drugs", and was recorded as a anti-drug anthem, especially against crack and meth. |
| 255 | %%* Chris Barnes, vocalist of Music/SixFeetUnder, (formerly of Music/CannibalCorpse). According to some, he wasn't careful with it, which contributed to his VocalDecay over the years. |
| 256 | * Music/SnoopDogg. [[MemeticMutation Smoke weed erryday~]] In the first of his Reddit [=AMAs=], he claimed to smoke [[http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/14cb0c/im_snoop_lion_ask_me_anything/c7brms7 81 blunts a day.]] This claim is Website/TheOtherWiki official, by the way. |
| 257 | %%* Both Creator/{{Jack|Black}} and Kyle of Music/TenaciousD -- as demonstrated in their music and their HBO shorts, as well as ''Film/TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny''. |
| 258 | * Wheeler Walker Jr. and his aptly-named song, "[[https://youtu.be/OjiS20NqNqs I Like Smoking Pot (A Lot)]]". |

| 268 | %%* Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y qualify |
| 269 | * [[Music/WuTangClan Method Man]], out of the Wu-Tang Clan, had the most verses about lighting it. His titular song works in "fat bags of skunk" as part of its memorable drop, and ends with him coughing a lung out on a particularly thick drag. |
| 270 | [[/folder]] |
| 271 | |
| 272 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |

| 274 | [[/folder]] |
| 275 | |
| 276 | [[folder:Pinball]] |
| 277 | * Bud in ''Pinball/NoGoodGofers'' gives the impression of being one, between his FishEyes expression, slacker voice, and occasional bouts of incoherence. Also, he's named ''[[PunnyName Bud.]]'' |
| 278 | %%* According to Creator/SteveRitchie, Creator/PythonAnghelo was a known user of MDMA. This led to the bizarre ''Pinball/PopeyeSavesTheEarth''. |
| 279 | [[/folder]] |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 282 | * Wrestling/RobVanDam. One of his original [[CharacterCatchphrase catchphrases]], playing off of [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin "Stone Cold" Steve Austin]]'s "Austin 3:16," was "RVD 4:20: I just smoked your ass!"[[note]]This was also a pun, since to "smoke" someone can also mean to defeat that person.[[/note]] This came back to haunt him in 2006, when he, along with Wrestling/{{Sabu}}, were arrested for marijuana possession. The worst part of this was that he was both the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE World Heavyweight Champion]] and the [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/ecw/ecw-h.html WWE ECW Heavyweight Champion]] at the time of his arrest. |
| 283 | * How about [[Wrestling/LondonAndKendrick The Brian Kendrick]]? He walked to the ring like a stoner before anyone even knew he really was one. In fact, most of the reason why his push was dropped so quickly and he was fired was that he repeatedly failed the marijuana portion of the wellness test. Hence, why Wrestling/{{TNA}} took him in and did pretty much nothing with him. |
| 284 | ** In a similar vein Wrestling/MattSydal spent most of his WWE tenure either injured or suspended for testing positive for THC. Sydal loves the wacky tobaccy so much that he tried to smuggle some into Japan (a country '''not''' known for having liberal drug laws, like most of East Asia) after leaving WWE, which didn't turn out too well. As such, [[PersonaNonGrata he is no longer welcome in Japan]]. |
| 285 | * Wrestling/SeanWaltman, though if you've seen any of his interviews or podcast appearances you've already figured this out on your own. Wrestling/KevinNash has also spoke of his love of cannabis, in fact Nash said in an interview that the reason he [[TroubledProduction no-showed]] ''Starrcade 97'' was because he didn't really know how edibles worked and ate an ''entire pan'' of weed brownies, proceeding to get so bombed that he thought he was having a heart attack. |
| 286 | * According to Wrestling/JimCornette when Wrestling/{{WCW}} did a round of drug testing in 1990 the lab reported back that curtain-jerker Tom Zenk had the highest THC levels they had ever seen. Since WCW didn't have an actual drug policy (and weed was the last of their concerns to begin with) neither Zenk nor any other wrestler that failed the drug test were punished. |
| 287 | * New York/New Jersey indy wrestler the Grim Reefer. |
| 288 | * Wrestling/{{WWE}}'s the Godfather, a wrestling pimp, would always end his prematch spiel by saying, "I want ya' to roll a fatty for this pimp daddy, light that blunt/stinky green/hydro up and say 'PIMPING AIN'T EASY!'". |
| 289 | * [[Wrestling/TooColdScorpio 2 Cold Scorpio]]. In RealLife. In an example of OlderThanTheyThink, back in Wrestling/{{ECW}} in September 1995, he cut a promo on [[Wrestling/{{Tazz}} Taz]] where he said, "Your ass is grass, and I'm gonna smoke it," 3 1/2 years before [[Wrestling/{{DGenerationX}} X-Pac]] said it to Wrestling/TripleH on the March 29, 1999 ''[[Wrestling/{{WWERaw}} Raw]]''. |
| 290 | %%* Road Dogg, Wrestling/EvanBourne, Wrestling/RTruth, Paul London, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, and X-Pac are among the wrestlers known to be stoners, as well as those listed above (though Paul is UsefulNotes/{{straight edge}} who just acted like a stoner) |
| 291 | %%* [[Wrestling/TakuyaSugi El Blazer]] of Wrestling/DramaticDreamTeam, though he was disconnected from everyone else even without pot. |
| 292 | * Wrestling/JuggaloChampionshipWrestling often has entire audiences of stoners, who love it when Weedman blows smoke out into their midst. Also, AK Izzy High. ([[DontExplainTheJoke he is]]). |
| 293 | * Indie wrestler Ruckus often has cannabis references in his ring introduction, e.g. "The Jake the Snake of getting baked, the AJ Styles of Black & Milds, the Hall and Nash of blunts and hash" ([[RunningGag this can go on for a while]]), capping off with "Weighing in at a street value of '''''27 million dollars''''', RRRRRRRRRUCKUS!!!!" |
| 294 | * Wrestling/JackSwagger. Though he doesn't ''act'' like it, it's a very well-known fact that the reason Swagger has been stuck in mid card hell for so long is that he can't stay away from the cannabis plant (well, that and behavioral issues in general). It came to bite him in the ass big time when, in the middle of the biggest push of his career, he got arrested for marijuana possession. He was back in the midcard and it's unlikely he'll ever leave it again. He's since moved on to Wrestling/{{AEW}}, where management doesn't care about the smoke as long as you're sober while on the clock. |
| 295 | * Wrestling/MattRiddle, who was kicked out of UFC and had a couple of wins overturned due to his love for the herb (but mostly due to personal conflicts with Dana White)[[note]][=UFC's=] parent company bought WWE in 2023, unsurprisingly once they assumed full control Riddle was the first person asked to vacate the premises[[/note]]. He primarily uses it to alleviate the pain from his injuries and claims it's better to smoke a joint than go hard on alcohol or painkillers (a case many UsefulNotes/{{NFL}} players have also made). His preference for weed has also been incorporated into his gimmick, "The King of Bros", a mellow stoner who becomes a beast in the ring. |
| 296 | [[/folder]] |
| 297 | |
| 298 | [[folder:Stand-Up Comedy]] |
| 299 | * Dana [=DeLorenzo=] (a.k.a. Beth the Censor from [[Series/TheLateLateShowWithCraigFerguson "The Late Late Show"]]) gives this trope [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfiWZ2HOBu8 a feminine spin]]. It's never stated flat-out, but her character's...unique perspective on things, the random yoga routine, and her enjoyment of peanut butter straight from the jar are a little suspicious. |
| 300 | [[/folder]] |
| 301 | |
| 302 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 303 | * ''TabletopGame/InNomine'': An alternate take on Fleurity, the Demon Prince of Drugs, proposed in ''Superiors 4: Rogues to Riches'' for more comical campaigns has him as a mellow, tie-dye wearing stoner who spends his days blissfully floating around on his ship headquarters alongside his Santana records and collection of hand-made bongs, requiring his Servitors to keep the Principality afloat in his stead while their Prince looks for God at the bottom of a bowl. |
| 304 | [[/folder]] |
| 305 | |
| 306 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 307 | * ''Website/AssassinsCreedInitiates'': Assassin hacker Emmett smokes recreational marijuana, which distracts him enough that the Initiates spy aboard the ''Altair II'' is able to hack into Emmett's computer system and upload reports to the website. |
| 308 | * ''VideoGame/Dishonored2'': Emily Kaldwin, the canon protagonist, is revealed to be one in her letters from her lover Wyman. Said lover introduced her to the illegal white leaf tobacco, which is read next to a hookah and upon inspection, she'll remark she had "good times" with Wyman and her friends in the past. A rare case where she isn't portrayed with all the negative and stereotypical traits associated with it. |
| 309 | * ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'': Ryder is almost always seen holding a joint and smoking it nonstop. He is also quite rude, sarcastic, has NoIndoorVoice, and doesn't really think things through. (Of course, what Ryder's smoking is sherm, a joint dipped in PCP, which would explain at least some of his behavior.) |
| 310 | * ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'': One of the Strangers and Freaks that all three protagonists can interact with is a man named Barry, an activist for marijuana legalization. While Michael and Trevor [[MushroomSamba trip absolute balls when they take a puff of his stash]], Franklin isn't very affected due to his own regular usage. As such, Barry recruits Franklin to retrieve stashes of weed from across the city to be used in a "smoke-in" at City Hall. As Franklin retrieves the stashes, it become clear that Barry is getting high on the supply himself, [[spoiler:to the extent that when Franklin shows up for the smoke-in, he's the only one there because Barry and his buddies got so baked off their asses, they completely forgot about it.]] |
| 311 | %%* ''VideoGame/{{Oxenfree}}'': Ren is implied to be this, mixing it with brownies. %%Implied how? |
| 312 | * ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'': [[EruditeStoner Zahua]]; as part of his order's WarriorMonk training, he routinely does a cocktail of mood-altering drugs and hallucinogens. He spends most of the adventure completely stoned and/or tripping, occasionally making non-sequitur comments about whatever he's hallucinating at the time. To a [[DownplayedTrope much lesser extent]], banter involving Zahua, Hiravias, and Edér suggest all three are casual users of the marijuana-like whiteleaf plant. |
| 313 | * ''VideoGame/RealityOnTheNorm'' has Melt and Drake, a pair of friends who live in a dilapidated apartment and spend most of their time doing drugs. There's also Doc, a drug-addicted hyperactive journalist who is a parody of Creator/HunterSThompson. |
| 314 | * ''VideoGame/{{Stalker}}'': There is a bartender and dope dealer in ''S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Clear Sky'' named Ganja, who is also a [[TheAlcoholic heavy]] [[VodkaDrunkenski drinker]] as well. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Although we can't buy his weed or see him toking or high]]. |
| 315 | * ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'': The Tauren Chieftan is implied to be a bit of a stoner in ''Warcraft III'', with several of his StopPokingMe lines implying that his PeacePipe has something other than tobacco in it. |
| 316 | -->''"Pass the peace pipe."\ |
| 317 | "Hey, puff, puff, give, that's the rule."\ |
| 318 | "Oh, I can see my ancestors."'' |
| 319 | [[/folder]] |
| 320 | |
| 321 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 322 | * ''Webcomic/TheBirdFeeder'' has Exotic, an exotic bird with strange tales of its faraway homeland, Combrobway. It even has its own special birdseed which "does strange things to you," as shown in [[http://thebirdfeeder.com/comic/33 #33]], "Apologies and new exotic seeds." |
| 323 | %%* In ''Webcomic/CoachRandom'', a stoner is seen a few times. He's never given a name. |
| 324 | * Az, Ragz, and G-man in ''Webcomic/DarwinCarmichaelIsGoingToHell'' are three shaggy-haired, tie-dyed ''angels'' who do nothing all day long but smoke pot, watch TV and eat Cheetos, which they do on Darwin's couch while mooching off his hospitality. They speak in a drawl peppered with "man"s and their names are even stonerfied versions of classic angel names (Azrael, Rafael, Gabriel). One arc reveals that they once had a mission on earth, but they got too into drugs after arriving in the '60s and completely forgot about it. |
| 325 | %%* Farm Boy from ''Webcomic/DrugsAndKisses'' is a classic example of this trope. |
| 326 | %%* Gravy from ''Webcomic/FlintlockesGuideToAzeroth''. |
| 327 | * ''Webcomic/TheGuideToAHealthyRelationship'': Kevin's got a wacky, unconcerned mellow attitude. He is the only one explicitly doing other drugs than alcohol and cigarettes on a regular basis. Note that he's also arguably the nicest guy of the group, although so out of it most of the time that he's also a real pushover. |
| 328 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 329 | ** Gamzee, though since he's an alien from another dimension he gets high exclusively on [[FantasticDrug sopor slime pies]]. Later subverted when it turns out that [[spoiler:[[ObfuscatingStupidity when he isn't stoned, Gamzee is rather intelligent and frighteningly powerful]]. It's mentioned he did more damage to the FinalBoss in ''one hit'' than the god-tier member of the team could. Oh, and he also happens to be [[AxCrazy murderously psychotic]].]] |
| 330 | ** According to WordOfGod, Meulin gets stoned on [[GRatedDrug catnip]], and her happy-go-lucky but lazy personality is a reference to this trope. She gets stoned with her friend Kurloz, but like Gamzee he only superficially fits the archetype (although, since the audience should be expecting this, it isn't a subversion or a twist in any way). |
| 331 | ** Damara is seen smoking a joint in a lot of her animations and tells Meenah to "Chill the fuck out. Let's touch each other. Please get stoned with me." However, in her case, it's just a cover for her [[{{Yandere}} bitterness and foul personality]]. |
| 332 | * ''Webcomic/JoeVsElanSchool'': Joe explicitly states that he's the exact opposite of this trope; Whenever he smokes weed, he suddenly gets a surge of energy and anything that he'd normally take time doing would be done surprisingly quickly. |
| 333 | %%* Tim from ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}''. As seen [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/183 here]]. Occasionally, the other protagonists too. |
| 334 | %%* ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}''. Rumisiel. He's gotten better. |
| 335 | %%* Everyone in ''Webcomic/{{Moon-Pals}}'', especially [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Yawning Squirtle]]. |
| 336 | %%* Harold and Clancy from ''Webcomic/PlusEV'', [[http://plusev.keenspot.com/d/20070706.html apparently]]. |
| 337 | %%* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'''s unspecified Massachusetts town has quite a few--most notably, and ironically, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=749 the boys in blue]]. |
| 338 | %%* Kingston of ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'', pretty much all there is to his character. |
| 339 | * Knuckles and Cheeto Man in ''Webcomic/TailsGetsTrolled''. Knuckles once blunders into a camp of {{troll}}s while already high and proceeds to smoke even more with them. Cheeto Man hotboxes while training Tails. And he's Knuckles' dealer. |
| 340 | %%* From ''Webcomic/UnwindersTallComics'', the minor character Lion-man is a pothead and [[ScareEmStraight the best argument against using drugs]]. |
| 341 | [[/folder]] |
| 342 | |
| 343 | [[folder:Web Originals]] |
| 344 | * Sassy the Sasquatch and the other sasquatches of ''WebAnimation/TheBigLezShow''. There is no point in the series where they don't have drugs. Justified in that drugs are good for them. |
| 345 | %%* Treize, of all people, from Gundam Wing Abridged. |
| 346 | %%* Tom and Mac from ''ComicBook/LessThanThreeComics''' Brat Pack are a pair of stoners, mostly played for comic relief. |
| 347 | * Mario and Luigi in the WebAnimation/{{mashed}} toon, Luigi’s Nightmare. The whole Mushroom Kingdom and their good looks is nothing more than them high on drugs. In actuality, they are two ugly old stoned men in ViceCity. Peach may be this as well. |
| 348 | * Befitting his gimmick of Music/MichaelJackson as a trap rapper, WebVideo/MichaelTrapson frequently smokes weed in his videos, and has even released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9ZLGHaonXQ weed anthems parodying Jackson's songs]]. |
| 349 | * Jim Anchower of ''Website/TheOnion''. He's a lazy slacker who can't hold down a job for too long, and his lazy ways, love of pot, and perpetually-broken car ensure he never achieves anything he sets out to do. His columns derive humor from Jim's haplessness and meandering narration. |
| 350 | %%* Professor Tree in ''WebAnimation/PokemonRusty'' is ''definitely'' smoking pot. |
| 351 | %%* The Hippie from [[WebVideo/SalutLesGeeks Salut les Geeks]]. |
| 352 | %%* Michael (yes, ''[[ArchangelMichael that]]'' Michael) in ''Literature/TheSalvationWar''. |
| 353 | * ''Website/SCPFoundation'' [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1481 SCP-1481]] is a perpetually stoned genie whose "magic lamp" is a plastic coffee cup. Due to his drug-addled state, he's hopelessly inept at granting wishes, usually just conjuring up food to sate his munchies instead, and desperately asking for drugs. He's so out of it that it never crosses his mind that he can just conjure up drugs for himself as he does with the food, and when someone points it out, he suffers a HeroicBSOD. [[spoiler:In a rare moment of lucidity, he reveals that [[BenevolentGenie all he wants to do is grant wishes and make people happy]], but some utter bastard used his first wish to turn him into the train wreck that he is, used his second wish to make his first wish ''irreversible'', and then ''just walked away'', all purely ForTheEvulz.]] |
| 354 | * The {{Meme}} character [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/scumbag-steve "Scumbag Steve"]] sometimes deals with breaches of etiquette related to use of marijuana. His counterpart [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/good-guy-greg "Good Guy Greg"]] actually has a joint in his mouth, but is invariably presented as kind and considerate. |
| 355 | * Weezy F Broly in [=SSJ9K=]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuXnpybjZZw parody]] of ''Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan''. Paragus makes him smoke the "Tree of Might" instead of using a PowerLimiter to keep him under control. When he becomes the Legendary Bodybuilder Saiyan, the high wears off. |
| 356 | %%* [[GentleGiant Brody]] from ''Roleplay/WarriorCatsRPG''. |
| 357 | * The stoner clique at Whateley Academy in the Literature/WhateleyUniverse is called the Dylans. As in 'everybody must get stoned'. |
| 358 | * [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Burner Man]] in AWD's Wily Shorts. |
| 359 | -->'''Burner Man:''' Guys, I have like ''totally'' no idea what is going on! |
| 360 | * One day, [[UsefulNotes/ProfessionalGaming Gambit Gaming's Evgeny "Darien" Mazaev]] walked up to the stage looking not too crispy. Then a Youtuber named dodgedlol [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeOFJ64nq4o took that bit, edit in the smokes and snoop dogg remix]] and you'll have the best memetic stoner the ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' community has seen. |
| 361 | %%* Koenma in ''WebVideo/YuYuHakushoAbridged''. |
| 362 | %%* Mr. Ian Woon again; [[http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/the-wolfs-will-scene-009/ a flying surfboard riding hippy.]] |

| 365 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 366 | %%* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', pretty much anyone in the Smith family has gone through this, though Hailey and Jeff are more frequent stoners. |
| 367 | * ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' has several characters who do drugs, but Todd fits the trope description as the friendly slacker who usually avoids the show's more serious drama. |
| 368 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', Tim's son Raymond can get so high that he can't register the full impact of a speeding race car but still walk unharmed, or toss a really slow pitch violating time physics. |
| 369 | * Dave from ''WesternAnimation/CodeMonkeys'' is a huge one- he's been known to have a massive bong he dubbed "[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan Wrath of Bong]]", and is the source of drug-related things at Gameavision. |
| 370 | * ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'' plays with the common {{Fanon}} that Shag and Scoob from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' are stoners when the two are arrested and put on trial for possession. In the end, it turns out they weren't high at all -- they're just stupid. |
| 371 | * ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Speedy Gonzalez's cousin Slowpoke Rodriguez has all the characteristics of a typical stoner. He's always hungry and he moves slowly. Slowpoke also has slurred speech and droopy eyes. |
| 372 | * ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Muscle Man has several characteristics of a typical stoner. He's fat, always hungry, has a Pink Floyd poster, and loves to scream and squeal a lot. Muscle Man also has noticeable bloodshot pink eyes. All these indicate that he could be on marijuana. |
| 373 | * Shaggy from ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo''. While it was never canonized, in every conceivable way, he is your typical stoner hippy. He is stick-thin, scruffy, always hungry, willing to eat dog snacks, and always freaking out. |
| 374 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': Adult Bart, judging from a scene in "Bart to the Future" where President Lisa asks how she can repay him. |
| 375 | -->'''Bart:''' Legalize it.\ |
| 376 | '''Lisa:''' Legalize what?\ |
| 377 | '''Bart:''' ''[sly look]''\ |
| 378 | '''Lisa:''' Oh! Consider it done. |
| 379 | ** Otto, the school bus driver. In "The Seven-Beer Snitch", Otto's urine sample contains so many illegal drugs that when Otto looks at it, it resembles a scene from Music/TheBeatles film ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine''. And only actually contains "trace amounts of human urine". In the Movie, it's implied that Otto spent almost the entire movie stoned out of his head and didn't notice a thing that was going on. |
| 380 | %%** Homer became one for an episode. |
| 381 | * Manic from ''WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground'' talks and generally acts stoned most of the time, and he's a thieving pickpocket from the lowest classes -- a background prone to stumbling into drug habits. It wasn't canonized but it's an opinion shared by many fans and critics of the show alike. |
| 382 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Towelie. [[MemeticMutation Don't forget to bring a towel.]] "[[CharacterCatchphrase You wanna get high?]]" |
