i actually prefer to smoke alone, or with my girlfriend then my friends, i just get like panic attacks, and can't think of nothing else, but what everyone else thinks of me.. it's weird and i hate it

[–]Flantastic185 31 points32 points ago

Social anxiety my friend I get just the same. The best way I deal with it is by thinking to myself "You are being anxious again, Calm down, you are with friends they aren't judging you, its ok, let your guard down." I take a deep breath and let go. I then have a great time! I hope that helped!

[–]thebadguyy 6 points7 points ago

This right here. I deal with the same thing in almost every social situation, high or not, I just have to talk myself down and try and keep calm.

It works, man.

[–]Flantastic185 6 points7 points ago

It started only when I was high but its in all of my life now. Now I don't want people thinking I got social anxiety from cannabis. It has been an underlying problem for quite some time now and the use of cannabis has finally brought it into the light so I can kill this motherfucker.

[–]thebadguyy 4 points5 points ago

Nah, I understand perfectly. Anything that affects your brain like that can make you think about things differently, not necessarily in a bad or good way but just different than you did before. I can easily see how this could affect you like this.

Oddly enough, it happened the other way around for me. Smoking helped me cope with my anxiety atleast somewhat better once I got to thinking "You know, this person could be worrying about the same exact thing I'm worrying about now or maybe they are actually judging me. Either way I can't do much about it now."

[–]dudewhatif 0 points1 point ago

The difference between alcohol and weed right there. With weed you deal with inner emotions, alcohol makes you forget them, uptoke man.

[–]JustLookAtThat 2 points3 points ago

Uptokes. I will most definitely try this

[–]Paintreliever 1 point2 points ago

Kinda the same for me. I'm getting back into smoking with other people tho. Don't really mind it too much. Probly because I stopped smoking for two years and just recently started again.

[–]sagan_was_right 1 point2 points ago

I prefer to smoke alone, too. Sadly it's also the reason I've been dry a year plus. :( I prefer being alone, but I just can't get up the nerve to find a new connection.

[–]NE0C0R7EX 0 points1 point ago

wut tha fuck

[–]SkyrocketDelight 0 points1 point ago

Same exact thing happens for me. I would much rather smoke by my self and chill at home, watching a movie, than with friends or going out in public after smoking.

[–]deadc0ffee 0 points1 point ago

Try strains with more CBD. It helps with anxiety issues.

[–]xsenis112 0 points1 point ago

could you elaborate what cbd is? because i have severe anxiety issues, to the point where it's so bad, that i just spend the day in my room, listening to deppresing music and just self pittying myself.. god how much i hate it...

[–]deadc0ffee 0 points1 point ago

Canabidiol (sp?) look on wikipedia. It's an anti-psychotic.

[–]biancabluesclues 20 points21 points ago

I hate smoking with peoople, its just not for me. I love smoking alone [5]

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 14 points15 points ago

Yeah you can smoke more and get blazed more by yourself, occasionally I like to smoke with mates but most of mine are all pricks :L

[–]rezzeJ 4 points5 points ago

Why are they your mates if they're pricks?

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 13 points14 points ago

They are the only people I know.

[–]TreeScience 10 points11 points ago

Small town? I've been there, it sucks.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 11 points12 points ago

Pretty much oh well more baked for me :D

[–]JafBot 6 points7 points ago

Same problem apart from my friends are just disrespectful people and smoke weed as a challenge. To me it's not like drinking alcohol, it's a civilised, calm smoke not doing shit to show off.

[–]Warties 5 points6 points ago

Hear me out on this, I get upset when people have the attitude of just smoking to get really fucking high. While I don't really have a problem with this, I just think smoking is more of an experience and shouldn't be something that is done so cheaply in such a base manner

[–]JafBot 3 points4 points ago

Indeed, smoking is a personal experience, people can choose to smoke whatever way they wish but when they force me?
Nope, I'll roll my own joints and smoke my own weed, I'm not playing pass the 3 second parcel then handbonging everything.

[–]Flantastic185 5 points6 points ago

Same here man I know that feel.

[–]rezzeJ 19 points20 points ago

I enjoy smoking, whether it be with or without friends. Though, I do quite enjoy just being able to listen/compose music and really get into my own little zone when I smoke on my own. I will now write a Haiku as that rhymed.

When I smoke alone

I'm just in my little zone

Music and myself.

[–]gdawg16 14 points15 points ago

am i the only one who thinks that was a surprisingly good haiku?

[–]rezzeJ 4 points5 points ago

Thanks, friend. I often write little Limericks and Haikus when I'm high, I have a little document which I just keep adding to. Here's a few of my favourite:

Limericks

Goebbels

There once was a nazi called Goebbels

Who came down with a case of some fur balls

He started to cough

and this caused him scoff

'I shouldn't of eaten those gerbils!'

Rattle

There once was a boy with a rattle

which he used to scare away cattle

He got really flustered

and all his courage he mustered

and drove them into battle

Bee

As fascinating as it could be

Was the girl who stood under the tree

She'd silently wonder

Until from beyond her

Came a rather malicious Bee

Haikus

Awkward (I challenged myself to write a haiku where every word rhymed, whilst still making sense. It's about misunderstanding someone which in turn leads to an awkward situation)

Misapprehension

Comprehension suspension

Tension Ascension!

WW2

Who knew World War Two

Had men, tanks and planes that flew?

Never mind, I did.

Columbus

Columbus set sail

And with one mighty gale

Was in Genoa

[–]Derp__Vader 3 points4 points ago

this is amazing. theres a subreddit just for this too. r/treewriting. you may enjoy that

[–]rezzeJ 0 points1 point ago

Nice one, I'll check it. Thanks.

[–]Tmps3 1 point2 points ago

Rock on my dude.

[–]HerbEffect420 14 points15 points ago

The highs are way different for me when alone compared to when smoking with people. When I smoke alone I'm in my zone. But when I smoke with others I have fun and laugh a lot

[–]ivebeentoldimloud 5 points6 points ago

Exactly how it is for me too.

[–]moose_dad 1 point2 points ago

makes 3 of us both have there merits :)

[–]According_To_Me 9 points10 points ago

I love smoking alone because every once in a while it's nice to have an entire bowl to yourself. I also love the weekly sessions I have with my best friends. You just have to find like-minded ents.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 1 point2 points ago

That's the thing im weird and like different things to everyone I know. Need some UK ent to come meet me and get blazed lol

[–]moose_dad 3 points4 points ago

which part of uk dude, im birmingham :)

[–]JafBot 0 points1 point ago

I'm Burnley! Fuck my town, shithole #1.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Redditch is worse!

[–]thebadguyy 5 points6 points ago

No way, dawg. I love it.

I mean, I have fun smoking with people too but nothing beats just chilling solo with a bowlo.

[–]GanjaDingo 5 points6 points ago

I know what you mean. A lot of the reason for me comes from the fact that my friends always want to share bowls among like 4 people. I'm sorry, but I don't get high from a hit and a half. Hasn't happened in years.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yeah i know what you mean i never get stoned of a shared spliff, it is just pointless!

[–]skyhigh41 1 point2 points ago

I know exactly what you mean. You're somewhere with your friends and you wana match bowls between two people who both are throwing down trees but then someone else comes over (sometimes a scumbag steve) and asks for a hit. Then your shared matched bowl becomes like 2 decent hits for yourself and you're barley high. When by yourself you can take your time and actually enjoy it.

[–]GanjaDingo 0 points1 point ago

I couldn't have said it better myself.

[–]nutellasquad 3 points4 points ago

I enjoy a couple bowls by myself when i have a headache/can't sleep.

But I also hate smoking people up all the time cuz shiiiiiit i'm ballin on a budget! Weed doesn't grow on... nvm.

I enjoy when friends want to match or when they actually drop some.

[–]kirrette 3 points4 points ago

puts hand up

[–]Asassin37 3 points4 points ago

I just don't like smoking with a shitload of people. 1 or 2 is fine, but on my own is the best, because I can do whatever I want.

[–]WAZ433 3 points4 points ago

No, smoking by yourself is so much more clam. If I were to smoke with Friends I would only want to be buzzed but that's me.

[–]Kibekt 6 points7 points ago

more clam

more clam

more clam

I like clams.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 1 point2 points ago

I love me some clams!

[–]WAZ433 1 point2 points ago

I thought it was more calm more calm -.- I'm smart but clams are amazing!!

[–]Tyler182 2 points3 points ago

I love it! I have no one else to focus on or worry about. No one to entertain but myself. It's perfect =)

[–]ZION608 3 points4 points ago

Since my best friend is straight edge I usually smoke alone and hangout with him. Been trying to get him to smoke again for months but since his brother went off the deep end, hallucinogens not weed, and moved away he won't try it. It's sad for him to think that way, but I understand and support him.

[–]LOVEKREWz0r 4 points5 points ago

I have this 'anchor' theory that I pitched to my friend one night when we were blazed. I said when you get high alone, there is no one there to hold you down to reality through conversation, presence, etc. Therefore, when you are alone and high, your mind is allowed to wander more and more and you can get lost in your head.

We have some real and imaginative talks when we get high lol.

[–]Derp__Vader 1 point2 points ago

I love this theory. At times I'm even anchored by any sort of light or sound. Just lying in bed at one in the morning extremely high with no light or sound sends my brain crazy. Even music controls me sometimes, but other times it sends me even further into space.

[–]lionspooge 2 points3 points ago

Nobody can "scumbag" you

[–]happent 2 points3 points ago

18 now. There was a phase in my life back in 11th grade when i would only smoke by myself and not with friends because i felt like when i was by myself i didn't have to have my guard up. I could totally be myself and do whatever i wanted, listen to whatever kind of music, it was just so free and wonderful. But now that i have a car i find El rides with a one or two good friends can be very satisfying as well.

[–]zestay1 2 points3 points ago

nope. i smoke by myself everyday

[–]RvBFan420 2 points3 points ago

I love toking alone mainly because I can do what I want when I want, without asking someone if it is okay.

No arguing over what movie/tv show/music to select, just freedom.

[–]KG8Peace 2 points3 points ago

I hate smoking trees with people I don't know, and though smoking with my friends is awesome, I always love smoking by myself way more. My Girlfriend doesn't, but I bet I would enjoy toking with her. If only.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

I know that feel.

[–]Brianne123 2 points3 points ago

I love smoking alone. Right before I crawl into bed with a movie. Not much better than that.

I do love smoking with friends too but smoke more often by myself.

[–]dancinghost 1 point2 points ago

It is my only option.

[–]wwwomp 1 point2 points ago

I like smoking alone. However, I prefer a 1 on 1 session. I understand the anxiety factor, especially in large groups that contain strangers. Party on everyone. [6.5]

[–]ZombieNinjaMan 1 point2 points ago

Nah man, I only toked solo for my first 2 years. It's best because you can listen to music louder without having to interact with people.

[–]jared82509 1 point2 points ago

I love smoking by myself, putting on some good headphones and some Pink Floyd and chill for hours

[–]lickscrumbs 1 point2 points ago

Smoking alone is like a personal getaway from reality. Quite relaxing.

[–]Lick_My_Nuts 1 point2 points ago

Get some cool friends and I'm sure that will change.

[–]StopIMAHipster 1 point2 points ago

Weed's expensive, I smoke with 1 or 2 friends at the most, and the majority alone. People can be fucking annoying when it comes to getting high, like roasting a bowl of fresh lemon haze by holding the lighter to it for 10 seconds.

[–]Hjohnson005 1 point2 points ago

I was thinking of making this like a week ago! I was so sick of my stupid, stupid friends at the time.

[–]scriptmonkey420 1 point2 points ago

I have found myself smoking more and more only with people. Like if my roommate is still sleeping on a saturday morning, I will bang the bowl a few times on my desk and he wakes up to smoke a bowl.

[–]BB_42089 1 point2 points ago

I like to smoke alone because I enjoy fapping while high.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Innit!

[–]trilla517 1 point2 points ago

no you are not sir. heres a toke by my self for you guys!

[–]Lamayan 1 point2 points ago

At first its lame but then its nice to have as much as you want

[–]esquire_ 1 point2 points ago

i smoke alone, it depends, sometimes im really awkward penguin with it, like i'll wait until people leave, even if they know i smoke. i sometimes feel weird if im ripped but no one else is. but if im high when they show up, i dont give a fuck,. weird.

[–]CrazyLavaLamp 1 point2 points ago

all my friends reck my high when i smoke with them D:

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

That happens to some times!

[–]Weedners 1 point2 points ago

its nice but not all the time

[–]pwnyoface 1 point2 points ago

Not just you, me too

[–]TheAstartes 1 point2 points ago

The combination of this sentence with this meme is so absurd, it made me laugh out loud. :)

[–]Danube321 1 point2 points ago

Isn't that why we are on reddit?

[–]Tmps3 1 point2 points ago

Why not both :)

[–]thetokingbandit 1 point2 points ago

I am doing this as I type this. It is honestly one of my favourite pastimes .You have the freedom to pack bowls as you please, eat like a pig, listen to your favourite music, fap etc.

[–]Deetoria 1 point2 points ago

I usually smoke a lone or in a very small group. I don't particularily enjoy being high in public.

[–]sweetride27 1 point2 points ago

i don't like smoking with other people besides my best friend and my girl. otherwise i feel judged if i cough or i need water

[–]NewRebel 2 points3 points ago

am i the only one around here who doesn't result to a man cocking a gun to ask a question?

[–]bmidge 4 points5 points ago

resort*?

[–]NewRebel 1 point2 points ago

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Made me chuckle not gonna lie!

[–]BisFitty 1 point2 points ago

... this is a peaceful place

[–]nomatophobia12 1 point2 points ago

I honestly prefer by myself! Especially at home. I only do it late at night, just cause its relaxing. But at home I get all the food I want, and I can do what I want and keep to myself. I love my friends, but sometimes they enjoy ganging up against me and shit on everything I say when they're baked.but when that's not happening, they're great people ;)

[–]kromea7 1 point2 points ago

I had those types of friends in high school. Leaving them without any notification ahead of time was one of the best decisions I've ever made. They feed off you to get bigger egos.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Oh god I hate people like that.

[–]Jin_Winspear 1 point2 points ago

I love to smoke alone at night and just zone out on some games or music, that said I love to smoke with friends too. Ill smoke anytime really as long as I am home or a very familiar place with myself or people I know. I cannot under any circumstances smoke with people I do not now I will make some fucking excuse as to why I'm not smoking, because I have a trust kinda thing and you never now how someone new is gonna act when high.

Ninja Edit: Nothing is better than being at a solid [8] and playing guitar.

[–]jonahofscott 0 points1 point ago

when i am living home i usually smoke by my self or occasionally with a small group. However i prefer to smoke the way i do when i am at college which is in large groups of around 6 on average, we will see who all has money to throw down on bud, buy it and smoke it all that night

[–]HashStash 0 points1 point ago

I honestly think cannabis should be a social thing where you share with the good frients that would share with you back.

[–]DrewYeahhh[S] 0 points1 point ago

Recently in my town everyone likes to just smoke there own and be extremely tight.

[–]HashStash 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, smoking by yourself is cool, you get extra blazed. I like the interaction with people.

[–]Yogsolhoth 0 points1 point ago

I love drinking with my friends, but prefer smoking alone to get some serious introspection. That's not to say I don't enjoy smoking with friends, I just prefer smoking by myself.

[–]GoodToSeaYou 0 points1 point ago

I love doing that. Im doing that currently [4-5]. About to watch Pocahontas with some PB snickers :3

[–]bora3y 0 points1 point ago

No risk of getting scumbags, clingy people or annoying people, trees music thoughts and stars is where it's at

[–]Fluxy_20 0 points1 point ago

Meh, not fun if you don't share with at least 1 smoking buddy :) I always smoke with a friend. It's what toking is all about. And why are you so mad man?

[–]MacScissor 0 points1 point ago

If you prefer to smoke alone, maybe you're hanging out with the wrong guys? I occasionally like to smoke alone, but I have much more fun when smoking with friends.
