pothead

Frequent marijuana user

A pothead is a person who smokes marijuana regularly, especially to excess.

The term is mildly dismissive but not strongly pejorative—potheads themselves may use it self-deprecatingly: I was such a pothead in college.

The image is of someone whose life revolves around getting high.
