i prefer smokin alone

all my friends seem to think this is really weird. but i just dont like being around people when Im high. Im too quiet and paranoid and I never know what to do. But when Im alone I just think about deep thoughts and feelings and do whatever I want n not worry bout what other ppl are thinking of what im doing. is there any other ppl out there like that? or do ya think its strange just like everyone else :/

 

i used to be very much the same way. pot is a mild "psychedelic," in a sense, but it's more open to personal and outside influences. i mean psychedelic in the litteral meaning, "mind-manifesting" rather than as something that causes visual/audial/tactile distortion or enhancement. i've had friends who smoked pot and couldnt be around most people because they look at the people in a new, and often more critical, way. then there are people who smoke pot and look at people in a new yet more accepting way. to some people neither happen. to the best i can tell, it is widely variable and depends a lot on how you're directing your energy, as well as what you REALLY, honestly think....how your mind really works. it doesn't always, but it CAN reveal your mind to you. but its a lot more variable than some psychedelic drugs, and a lot less incapacitating....a lot more recreational for the reason that you can still usually complete day to day tasks.

but yeah, i used to prefer solo smoking very much to smoking with other people...for one, it stretched my budget a long way. another good reason was when i was around other people and i smoked i sensed myself getting loud, obnoxious, and i would always geek out. i was really self conscious about it, but when i smoked alone i just became quiet and more thoughtful. a real difference. but these days i'm much more used to being stoned, and i prefer having someone to smoke with. i can keep my cool, and its nice to be able to have conversations or watch a movie or something with another person....i tend to get lonely.

 

I fun smoking with my friends but you have to do things that the whole group wants to do. I like to use marijuana for other things then just walking around or watching a movie like I usually do with my friends. I like to write, space out to my music, and meditate. these things I can only really do alone.

 

eh yer not weird. i say just do what u feel is right for you.

i mean i guess weed kinda makes me more quiet SOMETIMES..because im just really into my thoughts and cant concertate or add to any conversations going on around me, and on top of that, i just feel too lazy to talk. but on the other hand, sometimes when im stoned i can behave like a loud, 'saying anything pointles that comes to the mind' drunk.

but anyways, maybe yer jus being paranoid. i mean u know when yer stoned u feel as if every1 is LOOKING at u, and reading yer thoughts? so maybe thats it. or maybe the people u are smoking wit arent that close of friends or just annoying. because sometimes when i smoke with people who i find annoying, it ruins my high and gives me a headache cuz im thinking "cant we all just RELAX? laugh, listen 2 music..etc?"
so find a fun smoking buddy(s) who suits u well.

and while i enjoy smokin wit my friends for good time, sometimes i prefer smoking alone. when i smoke alone, i usualy take a nice bath, and listen to music...and then write poetry. so it is kinda enlightening and refreshing if u will to smoke alone. but maybe its the paranoid thing..because people do make me nervous when im stoned, beileve me. haha but u get used to it. so just keep on tokin,any way u want and ull figure it out (omg LONG POST!)

 

i feel more high when i smoke by myself. i like it so much better.

 

I smoke most of the time alone, and I smoke about 3 times a day. So mostly I'm alone, I'm more into my high that way. BUT I don't care about being with people I'll have a great trip too anyway. But smoking alone is more economic, you dont need to share

 

i prefer doing ANY drug by myself

 

i dont really mind, im confortable wherever. im more accepting to lots of other people but if the person is a dick then its annoying to be with them. but i put up with it and try to talk some sense into the person. but its good to be alone as much as with others i think. its not good to always be alone but when you do it with lots of people, the social obligations prevent you from being totally free, unless its your partner

 

i like smoking alone. it lets you sit and properly appreciate the effects of the drug.

i don't mind doing it at parties with other people but i definately prefer doing it alone.

 

I really just prefer smoking

 

I like to smoke on my own too. I like reading a book, while i listen to music and just chilling....
i like smoking with other people as long as they are cool with the smoking. it annoys me when people start saying "i'm so high...are you high?" anyway, its good to share a spliff with people who are close to, not really keen on smoking with people i've just met or dont know that well, i get a bit paranoid.

 

haha yes, thank you!
I hate that kind of talk, I don't get why so many people have to ask that...as a general rule, if you're high there's no sense in asking if the person you just smoked with is high.

 

who doesn't!

 

i agree with ya on pretty much everythin ya said. when im high, i always think so much and i never contribute to any conversation or even think of anything to say. and then i get all paranoid that im being too quiet and ppl will think im weird. i do feel comfortable smokin with a few of my friends (my real good friends who understand how I am when Im high) and usually i like to smoke with only 1 person cuz then i absolutely HAVE to talk cuz there would be no one for the other person to talk to otherwise. and when its like that its usually a lotta fun cuz the conversation is always quite funny. but i think i will always prefer smoking alone. i have almost no paranoia, i feel more relaxed, i just do whatever I want to do n dont have to worry bout what everyone else is thinkin, i can write, listen to music, and really reflect on diff things goin on in my life. i guess its just diff for diff ppl. glad to kno im not the only one tho

 

yeah i agree. cuz i always smoke at parties but i usually drink at parties too and when i drink and smoke at the same time im a very social person and i always have a good time and dont have to worry about being quiet or anythin like that. but there aint nothin better than sittin at home by urself smokin some green cuz u really do appreciate the effects of it more that way.

 

haha yeah i kno mayn. im like that too sometimes. or i will wanna do somethin with just paul or someone else that I trust cuz when Im around ppl that I dont kno real well I get uneasy, on almost any drug. parties are fun too, but i like everything to be chill and comfortable.

 

I like to smoke alone befor goin to any type of social event then just chill out and dun even realy think bout the fact that im blazed. I also like to smoke alone befor i exersize, and sometimes b4 i sleep.

 

I prefer smoking alone but when it comes to drinking, the more the better. I don't know why, when I smoke im quiet and just think about random crap but if I drink, Im open to almost anything and can't stop talking.

 

i'm a really social person, so i like smoking with everyone and anyone.

but i do like smoking by myself sometimes, and just chilling out, listening to music and reading or drawing...

it's a good feeling, ya know?

 

I prefer smoking alone too. I don't think you get the full effects of the weed when smoking with others. For me smoking with others weed is a social lube and inebrient(Sp?). Alone it's a full psycadellic (in the literal meaning of course), and I much prefer that.
