stoned

stoned
adj
intoxicated by narcotics or alcohol. In the 1960s stoned proved the most popular of a number of synonyms employing the metaphor of punishment or damage (wrecked, destroyed, blitzed, etc.) It became the standard term to describe the effects of cannabis in particular. This use of the word originated in the argot of jazz musicians and bohemians in the USA in the 1940s.
► '[Richard Neville] suggesting making love when stoned with stereo headphones on both partners, playing the first Blind Faith album.' (Oz magazine, February 1970)
