stoned

Under drug influence

Stoned originally means pelted with stones, as in the ancient punishment of stoning: Blasphemers were stoned to death.

The mob stoned the building.

The adjective describes something embedded with stones or having a stone removed: a stoned walkway, stoned cherries.

In slang, stoned means intoxicated, especially by marijuana: We got stoned and watched movies.

The connection may be from feeling heavy or immobilized, like a stone.
