Slang for being under the influence of marijuana — high. 'Herb' is a longstanding euphemism for cannabis, particularly in reggae and Rastafarian culture where the plant is seen as a sacred herb. 'Herbed up' extends this into a past-participle form, meaning thoroughly medicated or stoned. It's a mild, somewhat affectionate way to describe the state of being high, carrying less urgency than 'wrecked' or 'blitzed' and more of a laid-back, been-smoking vibe.

They showed up to the barbecue already herbed up, barely able to keep track of whose burger was whose.
Origin: From 'herb' as a Rastafarian and reggae-culture term for cannabis; 'herbed up' is a natural extension in urban and stoner slang circles. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
