Marijuana "Anti-Social" side-effect help..? :[

[Drench]

As with most side effects it will go away as you get more used to marijuana. Try smoking less.

The longer I smoke it the worse the side effects get, when I first started smoking everything was all good for a year or so. I know if I take a 2-4 week break I'll feel much better but damn, weed is nice

The reason why u are anti-social with weed is because you have conditioned your body/brain to that way of thinking.

Imagine only letting urself smoke when other people are around? If u like weed, thats gonna condition yourself pretty fast to enjoy the feeling around other people.. On the flip side, what so many people associate with being high is being alone infront of the TV. Well sure as shit, u gonna condition urself to prefer that way in no time at all...

Smoking should be social. Thats how it used to be...

^No. I started smoking weed around people. THe first twenty or so times I smoked weed was around people. It just made me quiet. I don't know why I always kept smoking, but I did. In fact I loved the high, and I valued it itself over the anti-social effects it gives me. I started smoking daily, and in turn shunning my friends and loved ones. I would go days just blazing up and doing nothing but playing guitar, drawing in my sketch book, reading, etc....

Fuck I wish weed didn't make me anti-social. I hardly smoke now awaydays...and when I do, I make sure I have no plans with people or obligations. Occasionally I'll toke with people, but only VERY SMALL amounts.


The funny thing about weed is it has the ability to overpower any other substance I am on, very easily. People are always surprised when I tell them how anti-social weed makes me and that Im fine with heavier psychedelics. Which is why now I only take a toke or two off a pipe. WHen I was smoking alot, it was like I HAD to smoke a whole bong load. It was a habit. Gonna play some guitar? Take a bong load. Gonna go for a walk? Take a bong load. Blink my eyes? Bong load. I was smoking a bowl about every hour at one point.

My theory is that weed is just a very personal, if not spiritual thing for me. I love to blaze and meditate. Or do anything alone. I just have to accept that and work within that limitation of the plant/drug.

I always get quiet after smoking. I tend to think deeply or watch TV. I seem to have trouble shifting my attention. I NEVER smoke if I know I have to do something in public. My smoking is always done on my personal time. I've gone to work a few hours after smoking and I still feel extremely paranoid and I don't enjoy it at all.

Ive found that i like to be by myself while i'm high, the people around me tend to disrupt my high, it doesn't mean anti social it just means that you find more peace by yourself high. What i like to do is find a person who is a close friend who also smokes and who is down for just kickin back and enjoying life and smoke with them and have a deep conversation about whatever is weighing heavy on your mind. hope that helps

yeh i understand what ur saying, i guess u cant see how u are conditioning yourself to this pattern... maybe smoke less, smoke within your currnt socialising limits... and then work ur way up...
