I always took Stoner to mean that you build a part of your identity around the fact that you smoke weed
i think there's a duality to the term. progressives use it like that, and so do conservatives. but both groups also use it situationally to mean "daily smoker" or "smokes all the time". Conservatives for sure us it more that way, and try to weaponize it. Progressives seem to use it almost endearingly, like when someone says you should chill on a blunt because it's good shit and you say back through squinted eyes, "don't worry i'm a real stoner" then laugh stonily.
to my friends i'm a big stoner, to my family i'm a respectable adult. they're not pro-pot and therefore don't know how much i'm laughing when they talk about "stoners" at the dinner table.
