Alone or with friends?

I do both. I have to be in a comfortable environment if I'm going to smoke around others. Cannabis generally amplifies states of mind or me, be them good or bad. I do find my solitary smokes to be more beneficial to me in terms of growing as a person, though. I sort out my thoughts best when alone and smoking.
 
Both are fun, but truthfully, I'd much rather smoke alone. I'm much more able to relax that way, I don't break out into fits of laughter and can just sit back and let it wash over me. That's the feeling I enjoy.


Also, when I'm alone, I don't have to share my munchies. I hate sharing food.

Hahaha. Not enough food in the house? :p =D

Now that I thought about this topic a bit more for my own life... it depends on who you are smoking with. Some friends never disappoint, other ones will always disappoint.

I thoroughly enjoy blazing up with a small group of my friends a lot more than merely by myself, but both are pretty cool. =D
 
I much prefer doing it alone. I'm quite an introverted person and weed makes me even less social. Social situations make me more vulnerable to anxiety as well. It's a great drug for relaxation, watch a movie during the evening, listen to some nice music or just sit there on the sofa wondering about the universe. God forbid if I have to do something or talk to someone... It's my sleeping medicine and I want to keep it effective at that too, which means no smoking during daytime.

Interesting. I'm fairly introverted to begin with, but cannabis helps me feel more normal around other people.
 
I highly enjoy both (no pun intended), but I haven't had that many experiences smoking by myself. I love smoking with friends, but sometimes it depends on who it is. I like smoking by myself because it can be even more relaxing and gives your mind some time to think about things.
 
I smoke between 95% and 99,9% of the time alone. Most of my friends stopped smoking for their own reasons.

I find that when I smoke alone, especially with a tolerance, the high is very relaxing, not necessarely euphoric. I really enjoy that mellow high. Even if I have to go out after, i'm in my bubble and nothing disturbs me.

When I smoke with friends, it ends up with a bunch of jokes, laughter, more euphoria.

So from time to time it's nice to have fun and laugh with friends and all, but I definitely prefer smoking alone.
 
I smoke a lot alone, and when I hang out with my friends it's usually a given too lol.

When I was young I only used to smoke with my friends, but at that time I also used to be paranoid being high around my parents lol. I finally loosened up around my junior year in high school, around the time I could drive. I didn't have to be home all the time. Since then I've been going hard everyday no matter what ;). Moving into my own place really helped out as well.
 
I used to love smoking out with my friends, rarely would I do it alone.
Now things have changed, i'm smoking alone all the time.
 
Given the choice I'll normally toke with a buddy but either way is fine!
They both have their benefits.
Alone:
-You can smoke whatever amount you want whenever you want
-You get higher
-No worries about coughing and coming off as a bitchh
-Avoidance of people who smoke that just aren't my type (mostly selfish losers who fit the pothead stereotype way too well)
-Act as fucked up as you want
-Play whatever music/movies you feel like
With friends:
-Conversation
-Emotional bonding
-You feel like a boss for not smoking alone
-Funny shit happens

Overall, for me the enjoyability of smoking with other people depends mostly on the setting. I'm bored of the typical car/home smoke sessions where me and friends talk about nothing interesting and sit around like lazy assholes listening to the same old songs. I'm trying to get in the habit of actually going places and smoking (out in nature, in the city, ect.)
If i'm having trouble sleeping, i'll just whip out a packed bubbler and solve that problem as fast as possible ;)
 
I feel you man, I personally don't really like to smoke in situations with a bunch of people. It makes me nervous. Most of the time when I smoke I'm by myself in my room and want to relax or paint or just think things through. Terrence McKenna was known to advocate using marijuana once a week 'in complete darkness'. I feel that sometimes these events are valuable time spent alone.

Interesting, man. I always get euphoria every time I vape alone, always. =D

Well said man... however, I am the kind of person who would - if I were to hang out with choice friends, always smoke them out along with myself, granted they are up for the experience. %)

I'm just that nice of a guy, and enjoy having others on the same level to talk to. :D

In practice, I'm actually alone most of the time.
 
Just due to location and circumstances, I usually smoke alone. The times I'm with friends however, I feel like the bud affects me differently, almost hitting harder or something, probably just because of the more stimulating environ.
 
Personally I prefer smoking alone just because I'm a bit selfish and enjoy a fat blunt to the face 8)
Although I prefer it smoking to myself, I usually find myself smoking with my buddies since everyone I know smokes. The experiences are usually much different. When I'm with friends we tend to talk and laugh at stupid things and typically have a good time. When I smoke alone, I don't get that same "giddiness" feeling but more calm, collected and relaxed.
 
'gotta say i hardly ever smoke alone; weeds for sharing man :) I don't think smoking alone really appeals to me but i have a couple of times, its just better when with people you're comfortable with I think - although occasionally i get kinda paranoid when with some people - depending on the smoke.. but yea socially with my close friends, we always seem to get into some awesome convo's or just end up doing funnny shit - though i don't smoke a lot lott, gotta be in the mood :D peace
 
I go through phases. I may quit for 6 months, then only smoke socially if someone else has a joint, and then eventually revert to smoking on my own. It depends really.

Lately I've been having it with friends more often than by myself. I think it's better that way, especially in the gloomy winter time.
 
Theres nothing wrong with smoking alone. It always gives me time to think by myself, listen to music, watch tv, etc. without distraction from friends. A lot of the time I actually prefer smoking alone. It's not anti-social, I just like being high and thinking alone. I think a lot when I'm high, and when I'm with friends I sometimes feel overwhelmed. It's like I have all of this stuff going through my mind, and then friends are talking to me and I process too much info which makes me a little confused and disoriented almost.

When I want to smoke with friends I love it, but most of the time I like smoking by myself. It's weird though, because when I'm sober I'm always hanging out with friends and I enjoy doing it sober. But when I get really high the interaction with others can be overwhelming sometimes.
