Marijuana and Socializing.

I feel like when I'm high I make a better mediator because my ability to empathize with people is enhanced. I can usually talk someone down when I'm stoned, and social situations don't really matter as much, so I'm more laid back and more myself.

However, sometimes I just can't find a way into a conversation when I'm high so I turn into kind of a wallflower.

 

I don't really like getting high in social situations... although I love getting high alone. I notice tons of stuff that annoys me about people when I'm stoned, even people I really like when I'm sober, and I feel like everyone else is picking up on annoying things about me, too. I'd rather just relax with a joint by myself.

 

When I'm stoned in social situations I become Anti Social in a way. I just basicly focus on the high and relax. I don't really care whats goin on around me and just chill. Which my friends hate, they say its weird that i dont talk or do anything with the other people in the room. I don't know why I do it but watever it don't bother me lol.

 

I have quite bad anxiety and even though for a lot of people, weed makes that worse, it does the exact opposite to me. Well... unless I'm around a select few people, like my grandpa and some of my other family members that I have to completely hide it from, because then I just get paranoid thinking that they can smell it on me or think I'm acting funny. Otherwise, it just chills me out and lets me open up. I'm much more likely to open up and talk to someone I normally would not talk to sober after a bowl or two.

It does make me slightly paranoid sometimes, though. Not in social situations, but in silly situations, like me sitting in my living room at home and thinking I hear someone pull up outside, when there should not be anyone pulling up. Of course 99% of the time there's no one out there, but what really freaks me out is when my landlord knocks at the door and I've just smoked and the whole place smells like weed. Luckily I have learned that if I just don't answer, then he'll leave and come back a couple of days later. After that happening a couple of times, he's learned to call ahead of time, so I don't have to worry about that anymore. But yeah, I'm gonna stop rambling on. Haha

 

It affects me in two ways when I party. If I smoke at a friends place first then party, I usually end up just chillin with my friends n shit. If I dont smoke before and smoke when I party, I talk a lot due to the circle-group smoking.

 

like leftovercrack said, circle smoking is the most talkative for me. i feel more open and more tuned to the vibrations of everyone if we're all high and facing each other. at parties where the vibrations are on a different level than my really chill stoner vibes i'll get anxious or find a small circle outside to smoke with.

i am really good at going to class high. i will be more creative in my thinking and more outspoken. i only need a lil toke too!

 

my theory is that weed brings the inner you out. like im not that social when im sober, so im REALLY not social when high off weed.

Thats why if i want to be real social i drink on occassions.

I used to smoke weed like every day and just be burned out, and would be really anxious or paranoid while high, sometimes i would even fall asleep. Thats why i only smoke on the weekends.

But when i want to be social i'll drink, and if i want to be social and chiled out, i spark a blunt also.

If your really paranoid and anxious when you smoke weed, drink a steel reserve 2-11 40oz, and smoke a blunt, Guarantee you will be the life of the party lol. I have a family full of heavy alcoholics in my family so i think that may have something to do with it lol.

 

i always don't think my words make sense when high. therefore, i don't talk.
