Ashtoned

Ashtoned is a slang term, primarily used in the United Kingdom, to describe a state of being under the influence of cannabis, often to a significant degree. The term implies a feeling of being dazed, relaxed, and somewhat impaired in cognitive function, similar to the effects experienced after consuming a large amount of a sedative substance. It is not a technical or medical term and its usage is informal. The word likely derives from "stoned," a common slang term for being under the influence of cannabis, with "ash" potentially referring to the remnants of burnt cannabis. The intensity of the "ashtoned" state can vary depending on the potency of the cannabis consumed, the individual's tolerance, and the method of consumption. While generally associated with recreational use, the term is not typically used in formal discussions about drug effects or public health. Its prevalence is largely confined to informal conversations and online communities where cannabis culture is discussed.
