The age-old advice given to actors who are supposed to play "drunk" might also work for playing "stoned." That is... you don't try to play someone who looks and acts drunk (or stoned) but you play someone trying not to let anyone know you're drunk or stoned. You know, when you're straight or sober you don't have to make any effort to appear so. However, who would try to appear straight but someone who isn't? So you think "Okay, I'm really high, but I don't want anyone to know," and so you give the character the goal of trying to not to look high. For example, you know how most people when stoned get that droopy eyelid look? Well, instead of trying to make your eyelids droop, you play it like someone who's fighting to keep their eyes open. Just like when playing "drunk" you try NOT to stagger instead of staggering - and the funny thing is that focusing so hard on that naturally makes you stumble because we never really have to concentrate so hard on just walking. get the idea?
Remember, also, that you need to tone down anything you do for film. Your facial expressions and movements don't have to be as "big" or accentuated as they would if you were on stage. The camera magnifies everything, so don't overdo it.
As for the "smoking" part, they make herbal cigs for that. And you don't need to really inhale to make it look real. Sounds like a fun project. Best of luck to you!

Alright, I'm good at this, I am sooo good at this. I'm a pothead, so I gotcha covered. You need bags, bags under your eyes, but not too much or that's just over-doing it. You need red eyes, don't ask me how to do that, but that's what you need. Grab a bag of cheetos, close your eyes a little, laugh A LOT, like, serously, sit around and stare into space and after a few minutes just start giggling a little. And also have a sorta dazed I-don't-know-what-the-fuc k's-going-on kinda smile. Not a whole smile, just a half smile, you know, you just gotta look ****** up. Hahaha, hope that helped ya
OR I have an idea, just smoke a couple joints and your set.
Peace

A lot of stoners wear sun glasses to hide their eyes. You could make your eyes appear red and sleepy, even a bit glassy. Get a home-rolled cigarette to look like a joint. Or you could borrow someones pipe or bong. You don't actually have to breathe it into your lungs. Just pretend to take a hit and hold it in your mouth, before blowing it out.

Watch some TV stars in movies and watch ever little way they act while they are High.
There is movies that show people who are pretending to be high or actually high.
Watch how they move their eye brows and listen to how they say their words and watch their body language.Study it.
Ask the person at the movie place if they know any movie with people that portray to be high.Let the movie person know what you're trying to do.I'm sure he'll help you.

put red lipliner under your lower eye and smudge it w/a q-tip. lol I swear to God. make your hair look greasy with vaseline and put foundation on your lips so you'll have no color. put a little gray eyeshadow where you'd normally have bags under your eyes. Just don't get the frosty kind. get a matte kind or it'll look fake. wear flannel so you'll look grunge and make a home rolled cigarrette like that cheap topps sh!t

Well you jus gotta look burned out and tired, also try to apply some heavy foundation under your eyes to create bags under your eyes. Potheads have bags for sure!

Use one of those bubblegum dealies. The ones that puff smoke.
Or roll a catnip joint, or beadi.
Just watch a movie.. like.. Fear in Loathing, or any stoner movie.. and you'll know what it looks like.
