A "toker" is a slang term for someone who consumes cannabis, often by smoking it in various forms such as joints, blunts, or pipes. Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant that contains psychoactive compounds, primarily THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which can produce feelings of euphoria and relaxation. Toking can be done for recreational or medicinal purposes. Many people use cannabis to alleviate symptoms of conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, or insomnia. The legality of cannabis varies by region, with some places allowing recreational use, while others permit it only for medical purposes.
