Stoned would be more of couch lock feeling, high is more more mental. At least that's how I use the words.

That's about what I'd say. High is way better. Stoned gives you a weed hangover and some intense drymouth.

I usually mix them around. I kind of think of them as the same thing.

Stoned is a body "high" feeling. More of a downer couchlock type feeling. Usually associated with indica dominant strains.
High is more of a cereblral heady feeling. Usually associated with sativa dominant strains.
Personally, I prefer a strong trippy sativa cerebral head high.

I usually define stoned as being a heavy or intoxicating feel. High is more Euphoric with more mental alterations.

i say, you can be high on anything, pot, alcohol(drunk), shrooms/acid/other psychedelics(tipping). but if i'm high on weed, i call it being stoned. just like being high on shrooms is called tripping. if you're high on life, well your just an ass (or enlightened).

Stoned type of smoke is good if you are not going anywhere and just want to lay back and listen to music etc. You also turn into a vegetable.. High is better for going out or doing something creative. Generally I'm into more sativa strains but they take a long time to grow and can make one paranoid/jumpy..
-------------------- when you're watching television the higher brain regions (like the midbrain and the neo-cortex) are shut down, and most activity shifts to the lower brain regions (like the limbic system). The right hemisphere is twice as active as the left, a neurological anomaly. The crossover from left to right releases a surge of the body?s natural opiates: endorphins, which include beta-endorphins and enkephalins. Endorphins are structurally identical to opium and its derivatives (morphine, codeine, heroin, etc.).After just 30 seconds of watching television the brain begins to produce alpha waves, which indicates torpid (almost comatose) rates of activity.

How the hell do you know if the 8th Krppy you just bought is Sativa or Indica? I defianteoy like being high rather than Stoned but always though that was a matter of how much you smoked, not wat type of strain it was...

you don't know unless you grew it yourself and know the genetics! generally, you don't often find many good sativas floating around the commercial market because they're not as much of a knock-out, and they don't yield as well, but they definately have "bag-appeal"...generally look to the high to tell if it's sativa or not... if it makes you amped up, maybe slightly paranoid and kinda tripped out then you can bet it's a heavily sativa cross.
and I agree...high is in the head, stoned is in the body.

i use the words to mean the same thing. however me and my friends have a word - 'monged' - that would be the same as stoned in this thread.
stoned is like when you're just sitting there chilling out, high is when you're laughing and stuff and you have that mental high.
i associate 'stoned' with hash, while strong weed gets me 'high'.

I generally refer the the heady up feeling as "high", no matter how intense. And the down, body, couch lock feeling as stoned.
A lot of people I know use "high" to indicate slight weed intoxication, and "stoned" to indicate extreme weed intoxication.
I prefer to use "ripped" to refer to extreme weed intoxication to avoid confusion.

Most people in Holland call it stoned. It's just a general term for someone who has smoked weed and feels the effects here.

I used to but the locals seemed to have already designated ripped to be for alcohol, not buds. Go figure...

yea, here ripped is used interchangeably to refer to both alcohol and weed. So when you inform someone that you are/were ripped, it is customary to also add what you did to get to that state. Otherwise the person is likely to ask what you were/are on.
