Heck no! Stoner rock puts a little more emphasis on blues while keeping fuzzy, often distorted riffs, not to mention raw vocals. I wouldn't put an acid rock band like Jimi Hendrix on the same pedestal as a stoner band like QOTSA. And I wouldn't put QOTSA on the same pedestal as a Heavy Psych band like Iron Butterfly. Ironically, there's a difference to music sounding stoned, and music sounding like it's on acid. Weird.
