Do you prefer using alone or around others?

Excluding psychedelics, which are obviously better around others, weed, and alcohol. I'm talking opiates and blow and other stuff like that. Just wondering what most of you prefer
 
I like to do most all of my drugs with friends. Although I've never tried opiates but I would imagine it would be nice to do with a friend and alone as well.
Only time that I don't want do be doing drugs with my friends is when im feeling sorry for myself and I get drunk by myself in the afternoon. Thats when I screen calls and ignore everything in the world :P

I even like psyches with friends, exchanging ideas and laughing your ass off on acid is a lot of fun.
Passing a bowl around with friends is second nature.
 
This isn't really BDD material - I'm going to shoot it over to Drug Culture, but they may well already have a thread on this there :)

BDD > DC
 
I believe we do already have a thread like this one, but I'm too lazy to search for and merge the threads right now.

To answer the question, I prefer to use alone, generally speaking. If we're talking about weed, it has to be alone or I'll become paranoid and anxious for sure. If we're talking about opiates, well, it could go either way... I'd prefer to be with my girlfriend, maybe one or two close friends, or alone; dope's not exactly a party drug.
 
alone; that's sort of the bad thing about opiates. i'd choose a night by myself with opiates, benzos, and weed over a night out with my friends.
 
"psychadelics, which are obviously better around others". I would like to disagree with this. I think it's different for anyone. I don't really like tripping around other people, but that's usually because i'm the only one tripping. Tripping with others is fun too, I think it depends on the drug. 2C-I is very social for me, but I would rather trip on a high dose of 4-aco-dmt by myself.

I'm definitely an introvert so I like doing most drugs by myself. I don't think there's a drug that I wouldn't do alone. Maybe it's just me, but some people really bring my high down. SOmetimes I just want people to shut the fuck up and put my headphones in and enjoy how i'm feeling with no distractions or worries. I think this is because a lot of social situations stress me out, and I do most drug to relieve stress. I think it also depends on the dose too. I like smoking a nice spliff with some friends, but I hate smoking bong with people, because I get too high to interact with others and they become annoying. I get reaaally bad at communicating with people when i'm stoned too.

I actually wish I had more friends that were into doing drugs, but for now I'm content getting high by myself.
 
From personal experience I used to be one who highly enjoyed the social aspect of stimulants;

that is, however, until I realized that the social enhancement one gets on stimulants is very one sided. One could say "talking the ears off" other people is not wise.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"

There are plenty of threads in drug culture about social drugs versus non-social drugs and I think with enough alcohol, cocaine or MDMA anyone can become a friendly, social butterfly. %)
 
I like to use around others, but usually only close friends. If someone doesn't know me that well and they see me fucked up, that's obviously gonna change their opinion on me for the worse. Especially since I do like to get fucked up, whatever the drug is.

But yeah, my favorite drug in a social setting is probably opiates or DXM. They make me connect with everyone on a very personal/human level, whereas alcohol is typically "Yooo! What's happenin bro!!" - not that it's a bad thing, just I almost always can't control myself and end up drinking too much :(
 
I prefer around others, unless it's an opiate. IMO, you see more of the effects by exploring which is usually done by socialising. But I don't mind at all on my own, either. :)
 
Sometimes I like to smoke alone because I can listen to whatever music I want (my taste can be idiosyncratic). Also some people don't really consider listening to music to be an activity, regardless of the genre.

Other than that, I prefer to use socially.
 
Psychadelics (Generally more of an introverted drug for me)
DMT: I would only do by myself
Psilocybin: I would trip by myself but its nice to have one or two very close friends to share the experience with
LSD: I am more willing to trip with a moderate group of people, say 3 or 4 friends that I know well

Stimulants (As a general rule, I must use around others that I can enjoy myself with or I will go insane)
Cocaine: I wouldn't consider doing lines by myself
MDMA: Although I could conceive of this being an enjoyable experience as a solo trip, I would much rather be at a club
Amphetamine: in small amounts this is okay for studying, but after a certain point I have to go talk my face off to someone

Downers (I'm content either way)
 
Psychedelics are definitely not better around others for the most part. I'll trip with one or two very close friends max. For the most part I'd rather be free to do what I want while tripping instead following a group.
 
Honestly i would prefer to do every drug alone. I seem to have a better time, especially with psychedelics. What makes you think they are obviously better with others?

Sometimes it is cool to split a pill with a couple friends though and blaze down some chron and drin ksome beers ya know.
 
Was just about to start a thread about this. Been doing a lot of codeine this last week and have found it quite isolating when I'm on it I just wanna be alone and do passive activities nothing to spoil my buzz. Have been dodging peoples calls all week, actually starting to feel bad, just don't want anything to spoil my buzz and fear I won't be much fun to be around. Gonna take a break from tomorrow .
 
Solotripping is pretty great, solo dissociatives are pretty great, but both are better with a close friend. Opiates are a little better alone, but only slightly. Getting any more than slightly buzzed on alcohol is only good with friends. Haven't tried stims, I'd assume I'd want someone to talk to. Dunno about benzos either. If I'm tripping I wouldn't wanna do it with more than one or two really close friends that I know can handle their shit, and I wouldn't want to trip with sober people unless they were tripsitting because I was on a crazy out of this world combo and too gone to really interact.
 
I prefer to do them alone so I don't have people constantly asking how I feel or I don't have to feel responsible if they fuck up or suddenly go bad. It annoys me because I never experience any issues by myself ; )
 
Ah, I envy people who are able to use drugs socially. I don't know any drug users, and besides smoking bud a few times and railing some klonopin with a friend once, all of my other experiences have been alone. I imagine a lot of psychedelics and stimulants would be fun though (that's why I'm holding off on trying MDMA until I can do it socially).
 
I like to smoke my weed with friends. I usually have a beer with my weed, so it's better to enjoy that with friends.

I need to be alone if I am taking amphetamines, because I use them to study, and my brain just gets too stuck to be in a social situation.
I only do coke with friends because I don't like it enough to buy it, and I only do it when they bust it out while we're drinking.

Opiates can go either way, but I need to talk to people on them, but I'm fine with just talking to friends on the phone. I've done opiates out at bars, and it was good for me because I don't really drink on them, so I wasn't sloppy drunk like everyone else which made it easier for me to seem legit to girls I was hitting on. The only thing is, you've gotta have friends that smoke a lot of cigarettes, because it sucks going outside to smoke every 15 minutes by yourself. There are other times when I want to get a little more high than usual, so I am better off staying home where people can't see my obviously opiated face.
