potheads

Frequent marijuana users

Potheads are people who smoke marijuana habitually.

The term suggests someone whose identity or lifestyle centers on getting high, often with connotations of laziness or lack of ambition: a bunch of potheads playing video games all day.

The word is mildly derogatory but sometimes used self-descriptively by marijuana enthusiasts.
