i always say im a proud pothead! but according to the definitions in the urban dictionary, im a stoner. they write that the difference is in the smokers mindset. a pothead is just a fan of weed who just smokes all day, and if not, they still appear high. while a stoner knows when its appropriate to smoke and is an advacate for marijuana, not just a fan. also, stoners are considered more peaceful while potheads enjoy doing "dumb" things that possibly cause injury to themselves or others around them. a pothead has all the negative associations with it such as bad memory and irresponsible. a stoner is still able to function as a "regular" member of society. lastly, a pothead would never admit to being a pothead and there is no "proud pothead" only "proud stoners".
