... Yeah that makes sense.
it's the distinction between being a pothead, and being a stoner. being a pothead means only that you do, in fact, smoke that stuff, and most of the time it's considered a side bit, something you don't make a pillar of your life around. far more potheads than stoners. stoners, however, are basically cheech and chong, energy-sucking leeches on the social system, who would rather use drugs to escape what they can't understand or are unwilling to face, and explain it away in the laziest way possible.
