my long story short http://www.bluelight.ru/vb/threads/679375-Hello!-THC-opiate-user!

(its in my new user welcome)

basically after everything that i explained in that post, ive been living alone since may 2012 now (a bit over a year now). i find that i haven't made any friends in my new home.
all im doing is getting more and more anti-social, when i first moved out i went out EVERY day, drinking, toking, trying to meet new people, having it been a good year now, i feeling like im starting to regret my actions, (moving and everything) at first i was happy, now im finding it that im even more alone then i was before. i dunno if im just having bad luck, or need to give it more time.

its like everyone around me smokes pot (i know i do, i live in a neighborhood where its basically expected and assumed, alot of people do it in my 10 unit apartment), the pubs around where i live are filled with other people of like mind (i can tell, i feel it, see it and smell it) yet its just impossible to meet people. I dunno, this is such a gauge problem i know, but any tips would be great.

thanks alot.

i hope that "more drugs" isnt the answer (5 htp and stuff) but ive always had depression issues and what not, so i am open to coating my problems, but i dont feel i have social anxiety, i feel like i just dont want to waste my time going out, spending cash on booze for nothing, when i could save it and buy better things. (i dont mean any disrespect, i smoke enough pot as it is, i dont have anything against drinking, infact i love it, i just dont enjoy it by my self).


again, thanks
 
Offer free weed to people and try smoking blunts or joints they are alot more social. Also get really dank weed and go suggest to go watch a movie with your friends that always worked for me despite the fact that I have social anxiety. I made so many awesome new friends through weed (also MDMA and cocaine help when im with friends).
 
If weed makes you unable to function as you would like, don't use it. I was in a circle of friends that all used pot heavily, I tried for years to use it so I would "fit in" but I hated it, so I stopped using it.

Seems strange doesn't it, almost like life is as simple as noticing a problem, then taking steps to fix that problem then getting a better life. In this case, stop smoking pot. It's not a requirement, it should be a choice.
 
Better for cannabis discussion in my opinion, especially considering this negative aspect is rarely discussed over there directly.

Cannabis can function as a replacement for socialization, a mechanism in common with heroin and cocaine.

Don't smoke. I know, that's much easier to say than to do. Good luck!
 
Congrats on regaining your mobility. I dont have any answers but I can relate, cannabis did the same thing to me. I smoked heavily throughout high school and was as social as can be. I quit smoking for 6 months, and when I did return to weed, it made me extremely introverted and socially awkward. To power through my depression I just kept at it though, I cannot live sober. Sadly, after living high so long I became introverted/awkward even without weed, and it sucks. Now I stay home and do jack shit much of the time, and I fear social situations (and the awkwardness it brings) now.

Id quit smoking if I were you. If youd rather be out there living your life, and weed causes you to do the opposite, it might be time to bite the bullet and break up with mary jane. You said something like "Id rather stay home and save my money" too... I dont know how cannabis growing laws are in Canada, but Id start growing a few plants. You save a shit ton of money by not buying pot and blunts and lighters all the time, and you can easily make extra cash on the side selling it. Not becoming a day in/day out dealer or anything, just drop your harvest off at the clinic (or a street level distributor) and be done with it. Then you might not be worried about your money situation when you start thinking about going out. Personally though, Id quit smoking. Id have quit pot myself if Id known it would make me as introverted/anti social as I am today.

One more thing: Craigslist has a section for people who just want to meet other people, I think its in the personals under "platonic"...

I have realized that I cannot be stoned on marijuana around people whom I am meeting for the first time, especially those that don't imbibe.

However, I have made many a friend over a shared bowl.

I guess it goes both ways.

Some strains make me introverted, while others make me extroverted. Marijuana is the most variable drug I have encountered.
 
I'm the same way, however, I've always been an introvert. Unfortunately, the only thing that helps my social anxiety is more drugs.. lol
I know that's not what you want to hear, but unless you can focus building on your social'ness' I don't see it improving. Weed certainly does not help.
Xanax, H, MDMA, adderall was a godsend for me, & has made me a bit more social when it comes to meeting people & such.
Just don't overdo it..

Does smoking cannabis make somebody more sociable (which is exactly what alcohol does)?

i can't speak for everyone but i'll describe my inner circle of people i spend the most time with. there's 6 of us, 2 drinkers and 4 smokers, although other drugs are used from time to time.

i'm one of the drinkers, when we're chilling me and the other drinker generally talk the most and are the most active. when i take a few hits of weed it ruins my day.

the other drinker, like i said is the most active, we'll leave and look to get laid and shit.

2 of the smokers are fucking lazy and quiet as hell when they smoke, one of them passes out.

the other two smokers are more outgoing and awake, but not to the extent of the drinkers.

so in my group of friends alcohol is more social than weed.

also in general, people out partying get either drunk or crossfaded, weeds not a party drug IMO.
