What is the meaning of "stumbled by" and "stoned out of his wasted mind" in the following sentences?

 

Nonchalance was what he desperately wanted, but there was nothing fluid about his steps and movements. Eyes straight ahead, though the eyes wanted to dart up and down, right and left, nothing could be missed. A frightening teenager with studs in his nose stumbled by, stoned out of his wasted mind. Ray walked even faster, not sure if he had the nerves for eight or nine more trips to the parking garage.

stumble means to walk unsteadily, possibly to trip or even fall over. ('By' just means 'past' - he walked by = he walked past.) Stoned out of his mind means he's on some sort of drug (most likely cannabis, but the term can be used of any illegal drug) - so does wasted, so I'm not sure why he used both words. Perhaps he means the teenager is always stoned.
