"Ferociously Stoned" is the first studio album by the American band Cherry Poppin' Daddies, independently released on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records in 1990, and re-released on compact disc in December 12, 1994, with four extra tracks.

"Ferociously Stoned" is considered the epitome of the Daddies' early career: loud, fast, and dirty, with styles all over the proverbial map. Echoing the genre-hopping the band would experiment with further in their career, "Ferociously Stoned" is primarily dominated by neo-swing, funk and funk rock, though the album also branches into hard rock, Heavy Metal, disco and swing-inflected ska. Lyrically, the tones are just as versatile, with songs ranging from serious and introspective to raunchy and gleefully immature.

The title is taken from a line in the Motörhead song "Iron Horse/Born to Lose": "He rides a whirlwind that cuts to the bone/Loaded forever and ferociously stoned". The working title for this album was "The Enemy Within" Glauber, Rich (Aug. 9, 1990). [http://daddyworld.swankyfunk.com/articles/baddest.html The Baddest Daddy] "What's Happening"] .
