Do you find that smoking alone is better than drinking alone?

[gezgin]

90% of the time I smoke alone. I like doing my own thing on my precious high time :D

 

[phatass]

I have done my fair share of both in the past and i BY FAR prefer smoking alone than drinking alone.. when i drink a want to talk to people, when i smoke i'm perfectly happy with a chocolate bar, lying in bed watching south park

 

[meet the decline]

drinking alone SUCKS. i'll smoke alone any time though

exactly, when i drink i like socializing. mmmm... smoking, laying in bed, chocolate and south park, one of my fav combos

i smoke with friends on some weekends..most of the time alone. i gotta be more conservative with my weed now. drinking alone would be a last resort for me. i find it really depressing..but that could be cause i'm so used to drinking socially 3-4 days a week.

psychedelics and opiates are really the only things i am satisfied doing alone or with people..it works either way. With alcohol and stims, i really need to socialize.

They are both enjoyable activities however my "absurdly baked" decision making is much more intelligent than my "absurdly drunk" decision making. Hence I side with smoking alone being better than drinking alone for its decreased chance of causing me to do something regrettable.

I try to avoid drinking but I prefer not to do it around most people, especially people who have never gotten smashed before, they tend to be to judgmental. A good reason not to do psychedelics around non-users.

Weed can go either way though, depends on what I'm smoking, sometimes I just need to go out and walk around

 

[Transcendence]

Absolutely. I hate smoking in social situations because I clam up and sometimes become insanely self-conscious. I only enjoy smoking alone or with a couple close friends.

Drinking alone for me is mostly fun, smoking is usualy boring

That feeling of self-consciousness will subside over time. The longer you're a weed smoker, the less anxiety you'll feel around people.
When I was a kid [15-25], I'd get a little self-conscious around people when I was ripped...even if the other people might have been tokin right along with me. I'd clam-up & not say much...1/2 the time thinking I might say something stupid.
As I've aged [55], I can take a few blasts from the bong, get totally wasted, & still be able to carry on a convo with my banker, lawyer, accountant or my 18 yr old son [who doesn't drink, smoke weed, or smoke cigs]. You get to a point where you realize that even if 1 of them suspects you of being blasted on some Super Silver Haze or some Northern Lights, who gives a fuck? If they have a problem with my weed tokin, fuck 'em.
Now my son gets a kick outta seeing 'pops' blasted, as he says I am a riot when stoned. Although he wants no part of it [& I respect that], I love to hang with him when I'm blown. He's got 1 helluva sense-of-humor & keeps me laughing the entire time.
You'll grow out of your self-conscious feelings while around others, believe me!!

Being alone sucks generally.

 

[ControlDenied]

lol, squidhead, you are inspiration to us younger life-long stoner-types
I'm only 22 but ive found that definitely i get less and less worried when im stoned (or otherwise high, if so luckily) like you say.

 

[comador]

Ive done both but i deffo prefer getting baked on my lonesome then drinking. Drinking is far more social but when im high im equally happy just to sit, and browse the lounge, bust out the gears of war or do some cooking (adventure!)

Ive also found that i never ever get paranoid about what people think of me when im high, only when i have to talk to a cop etc do i start to prang out.
