Morphology

baked = bake (opaque) = bake + ed

The slang meaning 'intoxicated/high' is an idiomatic extension not derivable by standard morphological rules from 'bake'.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the informal use of baked (very high) is to think of being 'cooked' by drugs; the old root bake means 'to heat', so being 'baked' suggests your head feels warm or slow, as if it has been 'cooked'.
