Based on about 2 minutes of thought shaped by horrible selection bias, I do think that a lot of media has shifted from portraying slacker/degenerate characters as *comic relief* at best, to making them the protagonist and possibly even portraying them as heroic.

Although there's plenty of films/shows from way back where stoners were the protags, hard to think of one where they weren't just straight comedic roles. Whereas I can think of a half dozen modern shows that plays it completely straight with them.
