stoner comedy books?

Probably 'cause nasty stoners are dumb illiterates.

There're only drunken comedy books.

There are picture books with the pop-up thingies if the stuff's maaaaagic, maaaaan.

And nonfiction:

I can't recommend this second one highly enough. Hard to find but totally worth the effort and cost.

closest thing I can think of involves junkies rather than stoners and it is not exactly a comedy. So yeah, I got nothin.

Stuff by Carl Hiaasen, Tom Robbins, and Hunter S. Thompson would fit the bill.

Max Barry, Chris Buckley, and Joseph Heller are all very funny, but I'm not sure I'd categorize any of their stuff as being "stoner comedies."

The pithy prose of both Shalom Auslander and John Hodgman would certainly befit the attention span of the archetypal "stoner."

Then again, with enough weed, even Stephen Hawking is hilarious.

Who reads while they're stoned anyway? I imagine it takes you away from the story while pushing you deep inside it at the same time to delve all the words and core inner workings of the author's mind until you feel compelled to write a six paragraph self monologue only to after the first two sentences veer away from the subject completely and start rambling about an incident you encountered today with a silly conversation you had with someone you didn't even want to talk to and go off on another tangent about why those people insist on recapping their daily rituals with you while you're just trying to read stoned and--......Ooooooooh, that's how it happens to Nightrious!

Firstly: Hahahahaha!

But I don't think the point is to read stoned. I think it is to read about being stoned, right?

there's one book about some guy who hangs out with shamans. my friend recommended it to me to read. personally i couldn't bring myself to read it. It's not really a comedy but it could be.

god dammit!

Well, they're not stoners but Steinbeck's Cannery Row follows a similar formula as modern stoner movies. Just replace weed with alcohol and munchies with prostitutes.

I really can't think of anything that's comparable to the movie genre other than that. Maybe On the Road but that's like a stoner comedy without any jokes. Perhaps, as others pointed out, publishers are worried that stoners are too lazy to read so they don't take the risk. I've heard Vonnegut readers stereotyped as stoners, but Little Debbie mostly sells their products to stoners and I wouldn't classify them as a "stoner company."

btw, best stoner movie ever: Dude, Where's My Car?
