Stony Awards Explained

The Stony Awards (a.k.a. the Stonys) recognize and celebrate notable stoner films and television. Created by High Times magazine in 2000, six Stony Award ceremonies were held in New York City before the Stonys moved to Los Angeles in 2007. Stony Award winners received a bong-shaped trophy.[1]
