Isn't that selection bias? Maybe a lot more people have used from an early age and you don't notice them because you are only noticing the ones that look different.

What is it?

I can generally spot a regular heavy user. The proverbial "burn out". I'm not sure I could say I know how to spot someone who started early, or is an occasional user. What is it that tips you off?

How many heavy users have you failed to identify?

How would you know if you had failed to identify one?

Isn't this just the toupee fallacy?

This is nonsense unless you go around asking everyone you meet, regardless of appearance, of their usage.

There are many many many highly successful stoners.

As of this year daily cannabis use is higher than daily alcohol use.

Like I said, a certain look. A diminutiveness. A delicacy in the features. But overall a certain shape.

Ah, so actually a morphological difference? That's really interesting. I generally pin the cliche burn out more by the tired eyes, pallor of skin, and such, but again that's heavy users and transient. I didn't realize you meant something as permanent.

I'd be curious to see an example if you happen to know one you could link.

Stereotype.
