Looney Tunes. Speedy Gonzales has a cousin named "Slowpoke" Rodriguez that packs a gun. It's somewhat implied that "Slowpoke" may be a stoner.



Scooby Doo and Norville "Shaggy" Rogers. These two were generally always off by themselves and always hungry while devouring oversized portions of food. There's a discrepancy as the creators have stated that it was not intended for both of these characters to be stoners.


The Ren and Stimpy Show. There were an abundance of adult themes that I can't even to begin to describe any of them. Still hilarious though and the show aired on Nickelodeon.
