^ Good overview on the most important qualities in most social drugs.
For me:
- Benzos greatly lower my anxiety and inhibitions, much like alcohol, and allow me to converse very freely (although with higher doses, you start saying and eventually doing really stupid shit).
- Alcohol, for the same reasons.
- Cannabis, in moderate doses, is quite a social drug for me. I get quirky insights and generally get into a very happy mood. Smoking too much makes conversation either tedious or insurmountably difficult and slow.
- Speed really opens up the talking valves.
- Ecstasy does so even more (same goes for any empathogen, basically).
- Tramadol is speedy enough in its effects to sometimes turn me into a blabbermouth. Not experienced with stronger opioids so I can't really compare to much other than codeine, which makes me want to ignore everyone else and lie down by myself.
