I think it is a lack of sobriety, and being "brought under the power" of something. I have a few siblings that have smoked it, and my one brother quit, later telling me he was using it to distract himself. While he was smoking though, he defended it and was trying to convince me it was fine. He now looks back and can't believe he said that.
People carve and paint these little pet rocks. Or big pet rocks. Haven't you ever seen a Hindu statue or a stone Buddha? People rock out to Buddha. It's transcendental meditation, they just sit there chanting until they're as idle as the idol. Then they're stoned, and they go around being evangelical about it by stoning other people. Figuratively, anyway, they also get literal later on as their numbers and level of political influence rise.
It is true that drugs kill many; where I live, they die by the thousands every year. In 2022, there were 2,272
suspected illicit drug toxicity deaths. This is the second largest number of suspected deaths ever recorded
in a calendar year, behind 2021 (2,306) [probably mostly fentanyl related]. People argue against everything.
Some even resolutely refuse to acknowledge that the Bible recommends alcohol under certain conditions.

Im not sure why smoking weed/marijuana/pot or eating cannabis has come. to mean being 'stoned' I imagine its because when you are throwing stones at someone they cower and fall down?
Anyway being stoned in the Bible always meant in public as punishment for something like adultery.
There were no 'private' stoning parties the point of doing the stoning was that it was in public in full view of everyone to humiliate them because adulterers actually did it in private before they were 'found out'.
The other thing is adultery often involves lying and sneaking around, thats where the phrase living in sin meant and also to 'make an honest woman' of someone, really meant, just marry them for life or pay them like a prostitute by the hour if what you are doing with them is carnal.
These days adultery still happens and goes on but without the stoning. What tends to happen is either someone dies, or their heart breaks, or they get divorced because of adultery. So think twice before you are tempted to commit it. Also children of adultery will always be a reminder of your sin and most do find out their parentage and if not redeemed will go on taking whoever they please because their parents did it.
Where do boys learn to treat girls badly? iF their dad had a mistress or several all they learn is that their fathers dont attach any importance to their mother and love just means using someone for sexual gratification.
