Perhaps stoner googles it when high (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

geologist

'perhaps stoner' is the definition.
(a geologist studies stones)

'googles it when high' is the wordplay.
'when high' is an anagram indicator (letters get high or drunk).
'googles'+'it'='googlesit'
'googlesit' anagrammed gives 'GEOLOGIST'.

(Other definitions for geologist that I've seen before include "One studying rocks" , "One studying the earth's structure" , "Specialist in the earth's history recorded in rocks" , "Specialist in the history of the earth in rocks" , "Specialist in the physical history of the earth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
