Is it possible to be a Stoner without ever having touched the stuff?
:smoke:

AAMOF, it was the Stoners - more than any other group - that I identified with in high school. I fancied myself a jock, but I knew I didn't have the skill or dedication to count myself among the Jocks. I was in the choirs, but there wasn't a choral equivalent of Band Geeks. I wasn't a Rocker (although DISCO SUCKS!), and I wasn't a Brain. Stoners were my kinda people.

1. No.

I mean, Honorary Stoner, sure. But I think being a stoner is sort of a "buy the ticket, take the ride" sort of thing.

4. Not even if the paraphernalia is in the mail?
'Sokay, I'll take the title of Honorary Stoner, and I'll let you know when it changes.

2. I think so... it IS kind of a mindset and group of behaviors.
.
.
.
I've always thought of Wayne & Garth {WAYNE'S WORLD!!! WAYNE'S WORLD!!! EXCELLENT!!! EXCELLENT!!!) as
stoners... though I don't think there was any hint or suggestion that they had actually done any drugs.
.
.
If I were anything in high school, it was a Stoner... though I didn't try smoking dope until shortly after graduation.
.
.
.

'Course... I made up for that delayed participation with a fucking vengeance.

:rofl:

Wait.

8. Mrs. V. was a band geek. Your instrument(s)?
She played the saxa-ma-phone.

6. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
That came out after my time in in school life but I still crack up at Jeff Spicoli. So many kids know nothing about this movie.

Jeff Spicoli: What Jefferson was saying was, Hey! You know, we left this England place 'cause it was bogus; so if we don't get some cool rules ourselves - pronto - we'll just be bogus too! Get it?

7. Hard to imagine - "Jeff Spicoli" has two Oscars.
:thumbsup: Sean Penn.

(I never saw "Fast Times." :()

11. WELL, YOU MUST SEE IT-NOW!!!
I can't believe you have never seen that movie-it launched about a dozen careers and it was a very funny and at times sweet movie.
Aloha, Mr. Hand!
