Morphology

stoner = stoned (opaque) = stone + er

The step from 'stoned' (adjective) to 'stoner' (one who is often stoned) is a regular and predictable suffixation.

Etymology

Stoner comes from the word stone and the older form stoned, which meant 'dazed' or 'intoxicated'. So a stoner is someone who is often 'stoned', especially from marijuana.
