You don't really see the giggly stoner stereotype anymore. amirite?
by Anonymous1 week ago
They exist, but culture has changed and shifted from having that stereotype on the spotlight. Weed is more openly accepted and understood so along with those films, that whole thing has died off a little.

There's a lot less to giggle about these days, I guess

I remember watching the movie Belly with Nas and DMX in the early 2000s. One of the things that stood out to me at the time was how normal they made smoking blunts look. They were smoking but it was in no way connected to the plot. They didn't smoke and act silly, or get into some silly mishap. They just smoked and carried on with their business much like how it is in real life.

No. Being a stoner went mainstream since it's legalization. So now a large swath of people around us are stoners and that stereotype has vanished.

But why aren't people giggling all the time? Because when you got high twenty years ago, it was physically hard to hold back the laughter

Tolerance and age changes the effects

maybe peoples usage of weed has broadened. before it was for almost exclusively for or viewed as a drug for recreation and hanging with friends, now it's legal and more available people smoke it just to get through the day, at work, travelling etc. not just for a night with the homies

Smoking weed and then going to work sounds like torture. I can barely focus when I'm high.

If you smoke it regularly it doesn't hit the same, and different strains have different types of high

Maybe it's because everyone's tolerances have gone up through massive use, and higher potency.

This one right here. I live in Portland OR and I haven't been able to commit to T-time in so long that I only know what not high and too high feel like. Even when my throat needs a break I have edibles and tincture so there is no way I can justify putting the people I love through me unmedicated.

Everyone's medicated.

Weed is too strong. Skips the giggles and straight to psychoactive. Need some brand to bring back old shwaggy weed.

Never got the giggly stoner trope, but I always assumed it was a holdover from Reefer Madness...

Oh my, no. I would put money on most people that are baked will absolutely giggle at very little, and be a chuckling mess at a little more. Probably the best stereotype

Depends on the strain. Sativa causes giggles and provides "enhancement" more like an upper while Indica is calming and more of a downer.

Yes it's not the kind bud I used to get dumb on 20 yrs ago it's super pot. I asked my buddy about 5 years ago who smokes to get me the good stuff and I was hiding in the basement waiting for the pizza guy. I couldn't even relax and watch a movie. Way too much for me and I used to be an idiot stoner.

Just FYI I quit probably 19 years ago
by Due_Experience_30721 week ago
People are just more familiar with weed and know that reaction is not typical, at least not for regular smokers.
by Anonymous1 week ago
I smoked like crazy for a decade and only had the giggling stuff at the beginning really. Then managed to quit for about 5 months and had my first again, I had the greatest high which included a huge, nonsensical laughing fit. Glad I got the smoking under control, but when you do it day in, day out, I guess it hits different.

It's so strong these days you just get too high and stare into space with a -5 second reaction time.

We don't see lots of stereotypes anymore. The 80s archetype jocks and nerds dynamic is kinda dead. That's the biggest example I've noticed.
