History Main / EruditeStoner

* In ''Series/TheGoodPlace'', Doug Forcett is a stoner who manages to deduce 92% of the true nature of the afterlife while tripping on magic mushrooms. For comparison, most world religions are about 5% accurate.

* WordOfGod from Steve Englehart is that this is how he wrote Beast in ''Comicbook/TheAvengers''. When Hank [=McCoy=] arrives at the Avengers auditions in #137, he describes himself as "a little older, a lot wiser, and a whole lot more laid-back" and says that after he turned blue and furry he "dropped out of sight" and attained a new perspective by reading shamanic writer Carlos Castañeda. In an interview for ''Marvel Comics: The Untold Story'', Englehart confirmed that this new perspective also involved pot, but he knew better than to actually try to put that in the comic.

* The film ''Film/Withnail and I'' has the character of Danny, a stoner and drug dealer to the main characters. Danny is relaxed and verbose, does not get angry even when provoked, and is content to present his strange views of the world to Withnail and Marwood without prompting ("The hairdressers are on the take of the government...")

[[folder:Literature]]
* ''Franchise/TheDarkTower'' Eddie's brother, the great sage and eminent junkie Henry Dean, fits this trope fairly well.
%%* The Caterpillar from ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.
* Pete in ''Literature/HowToBuildASkydeck'', whose pastimes include smoking pot on his Skydeck and talking about everything from Taoist philosophy to discussing life on other worlds and Man's place in the universe.
* ''Literature/LoveLettersToTheDead'' has Tristan and Kristen, who both have long hair, dress like hippies, and Tristan especially is prone to philosophical musings while high.
* Tom "Stoner" Stone from ''Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo'' is a die-hard hippie whose marijuana plants become an important painkiller for Grantville. He lives on a commune, wears tie-dye, and nearly had a master's in pharmacology at Purdue. By the standards of the time, he is considered a miraculous chemist.
* In Creator/SpiderRobinson's novel ''Time Pressure'', we meet 'The Naz', a perpetually smiling brain-fried LSD casualty in the mid-'70s. Full of many strange and wonderful observations, including the psychological principles for the Graphic User Interface.
* Reefer, Spencer's current love interest in ''Literature/PrettyLittleLiars'' is this. At first, she thinks he's just some creepy stoner from Princeton who by some miracle got into the school, then it's revealed he's actually a ''TeenGenius'' majoring in Quantum Physics who grows his own pot and keeps it neatly in alphabetical order, Spencer can't help but be impressed.
* Kelly Norris from ''Literature/AnimasConquest'' seems to be this. She is a profoundly gifted pharmacology student who synthesizes her own drugs and enjoys their effects. She is also the first to notice something [[SchoolForScheming shady]] about the school she's attending.
* Marcus Flutie in the ''Literature/JessicaDarling'' series starts out as this, and doesn't get any less Erudite after he [[ReformedRakes cleans up.]] Generally, this type of character is referred to as the "stonah lovah" type in the series, and Jessica has a [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys guilty fondness]] for guys of the sort.

* Implied with Scott, [[WebVideo/LukeMochrieAndTheInners Kinley Mochrie's]] Inner Musician, during the New Season Teaser.

* Professor Tree from ''WebAnimation/{{Pokemon Rusty}}''. Losing a bike full of weed? Pretty funny. Ugly pokemon? Woooaaah. Two random Pidgeys? New Record. Nothing can phase this pot-fueled professor.
* ''WebVideo/EscapeTheNight'' Has Jc, who's one of the smartest guests, [[BrilliantButLazy if he puts his mind to it.]]

Not to be confused with the CloudCuckooLander, who doesn't require chemical assistance to see the world through some-other-colored glasses, nor the SurferDude, who has similar speech patterns or habits but are usually missing the "font of wisdom" part, though the two can overlap.

->'''Stoners''': Stop right there, dudes, you're not getting past.\\
'''Barry''': Hey, if people can get past, can they also get... ''future?''\\
'''Stoners''': Whoa.

* James Barris, Creator/RobertDowneyJr's character in the film version of ''Film/AScannerDarkly'' is a never-ending font of information that turns out to be incorrect, dangerous or both.

* Filmore, the [[NewAgeRetroHippie hippy]]-painted VW Microbus and peddler of organic fuels in Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/{{Cars}}''. Although a family-friendly movie probably wouldn't outright say it, it ''is'' hinted at when Filmore [[ContemplatingYourHands Contemplates A Blinking Traffic Light]]:

* Jo's mom, Tess Masterson from ''Series/{{Twisted}}'' is a downplayed example. She has a stash that she occasionally accesses for artistic inspiration.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndTimesOfJuniperLee'''s first episode "It's Your Party and I'll Whine If I Want To" introduces a leprechaun who characterizes this trope. In later episodes, it is shown that all Leprechauns talk and act like this.

* Beachcomber, the pacifist, hippie, nature-loving mini-bot from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'. Sure, robots can't really get high, but he's working on it.
