Content: Some people manage to function and hold families together, have successful jobs and fund their addiction without engaging in criminal activities while using the drug. Stoner
Marijuana is the most widely used illicit substance in the world. Over 12 percent of people aged between 15 and 64 in the United States used the drug in 2010. Many people who use marijuana do not fit the profile of the stoner. A stoner is a person who chronically uses marijuana and is always under the influence. They typically do not have jobs, they have low intelligence and are a dysfunctional member of society. A stoner is usually seen as a younger person or a person who does not fit into their own peer group. They are unkempt, have long hair and listen to certain types of music and wear certain types of clothing. The majority of marijuana users are not a textbook stoner. They may use the drug for medical purposes, smoke the drug within the confines of their home, have families, jobs, relationships and be significant members of society.
