To be 'lightly toasted' is to be stoned due to the use of marijuana. This phrase was apparently popular in some circles in the early 1990's... according to this philosophy professor I had this one time. Advantages of the phrase 'lightly toasted' over other more common terms: 1 - It is basically a thinly veiled version of the more popular adjective 'baked,' and yet it is somehow ambiguous enough to be used in virtually any environment without anyone being the wiser. 2 - It invokes images of lightly toasted food, which is always pleasurable to think about and even better - to consume when you yourself are 'lightly toasted.' 3 - You can insert the phrase into a sentence about food and in so doing tip off only those cool enough to understand.
