So as I sit here, midnight on a Friday with nothing to do except ponder my life, I have realized that the people I hang around with suck. Everything they do that one my age would consider "bad ass" is for status. If I mention to any of them that I drink/smoke by myself, I immediately get looked down upon. As if its not "cool" to do that by yourself because no one is around to witness it so you can tell it off as a "KRAZEE ST0RIIII" later. Why must there always be a crazy story and a huge group of people. I honestly have hung out with people where if there are not at least 4 people smoking the said people will not smoke because the majority isn't doing it. Why can't there just be a chill small group of people who don't care about status and don't smoke for the "reputation" but rather for the feelings that surge through your body and the insight it gives you? I've tried asking several of them and they look at me like I have 5 heads. It has even gotten to the point where it's BEYOND drugs and alcohol. The "in" thing right now is "quitting" or just quitting weed. Two weeks ago if you weren't a "TTTTLLL ST0N3R D00000D" you weren't good enough to breath. Now if you smoke you may as well be the scummiest person alive, nevermind the person who has "quit" just doused themselves in liquor and puked all over the floor. I hate human nature. If you have a chill group of people, count your blessings. Is anyone else in this predicament? /rant
Well that sounds like a bunch of 15 year old girls to me, no offense or anything. I smoke all the time by myself and enjoy it just as much as smoking with others. It is just another experience to... well.... experience.
It stretches to seniors. But yes, its centered around us "sofies". I'm convinced I'm the only one in my grade at my school that smokes solo.
perhaps you are just maturing a bit faster then the rest. There is more then likely a couple people who share your interests and beliefs at your highschool, and if not, then you will find them in college.
and i lack the chill group, tis why i smoke and drink alone, to me walking around alleys looking for more drink isnt a fun night, getting high and drunk and watching a reidiculously funny movie is. call me sad - i dont care. you should see the social standard in this country before you talk =) hate this place called UK uke:
well do u only hang out with girls? because all the girl smokers i know like that cept for a few cool ones who smoke all the time but any way maybe u should hang out with more guy stoners because i dnt know any guy stoner who is even close to being like that the only thing ive herd of a guy stoner quiting for was sports and then they start again after the season
i party like once a week and just chill by myself most the time. i do go out on the weekdays every so often, but most the time i'm just hanging out at home.
My friends are all chill and love to smoke except one who quit smoking a while ago because he got off probation and just stopped having fun with it but he will still toke with a couple friends every once and a while but usually just drinks. Im going over his house right now that he lives in and hanging out with a few friends from school, some girls and my best friend and smoking and drinking and being fucked on methadone all night and trying to meet a girl if theres some coming over. None of my friends smoke just to be cool or i wouldnt be there friend. I hate fake people. I like to be by myself alot though im a pretty private person and i love smoking alone and watching tv or reading or playing a good game on my 360.
Most girls suck. no. wait, most girls are stupid stoners. annoying, frustrating, just hang out with guys. I have 1 stoner girl friend, and 6 regular guy stoner friends. its not right for them to drag you back into the room or look down on you for the manner of your smoking. Just say "no" to bad friends.
If your friends cant accept you for what you choose to do then I would choose new friends. Its kind of a shitty way to look at it but if you wanna have a good time and not feel judged its an option to look into.
i don't really enjoy myself as much getting high on my own. getting high allows me to converse with people on new and deeper levels, but not if i am with the wrong people. some people are just plain annoying to smoke with, but if you can find a small group of people you can trust, then the experience is always rewarding.
I agree with pretty much everything on this thread- the whole 'social drugs' thing. some drugs are fucking stupid to use at a party or whatever- salvia being an example
I was the exact same as the OP a few months back. It sucks to be there. I just accepted that all the guys I hung out with really just sucked and weren't going anywhere with their lives, even though they only smoke recreationally, while I smoke solo, daily if I can. They always gave me that asshole look if I mentioned I had smoked by myself the day before. They'd call me a pothead and tell me I am gonna end up poor (I make A's and high B's) I decided I would respect myself more than them, so I basically dropped myself out of the circle altogether. Of course now, I've got hardly anyone that I enjoy hanging out with, but atleast I have my dignity. Smoke alone. If you don't like people making fun of you, don't tell them, or tell them to fuck off.
I think that you have overlaping crowds. Cool people and 15 year old girls. I dont want to smoke with people because there will be a good story, I smoke with friends because to me it is just better. I would rather smoke with friends, chill and relate over sitting alone and bored. Good stories just come as landmarks for time, they are all you have.
just a note, I hope you dont mean takeing methadone then drinking, can easily be fatal. just in case you didnt know. Anyways yeah alot of people is over rated. I always prefer small groups
