Normally I'm pretty reserved and introverted, somewhat socially anxious. If I'm baked, I'll relax and pretty much lose all trace of social anxiety and may even be quite talkative, assuming the strain genetics and amount of alcohol involved are fitting. 
 
 

 
I'd say less social is more like a shy, quiet type. Antisocial behavior is more related to sociopathy. 

 

but both ultimately mean you avoid being around people. that's all i meant. wasn't sure if op was trying to ask if it makes you more likely to be around people, or less likely
 
 
i may very well be a sociopath
 
more of a psychopath tho
 
Psychopaths, in general, have a hard time forming real emotional attachments with others.

 

Depends, if I'm at a party with people I know it makes me a lot more social. But if I'm high in public I get kind of paranoid, I feel like everyone's looking at me and everyone knows I'm high. If someone talks to me I'm very short and blunt around strangers when I'm high.

 

 
Understood. It could as well affect some people to become antisocial, when taken to account that frequent consumption can diminish one's emotional sensitivity for as long as their system is affected by THC remainders. 

 

When I was younger, I used to be extremely anti-social when I smoked. Now that I have gotten older(only 24), I have found that I can go and do and be in public with people, no matter how big the crowd and not really give two shits. I guess it all has to do with your tolerance. even tho, I do have to say, I took a three month break at the end of last year/beginning of this year, and I get really blazed now, but still don't care about being around people or interacting.

 

I'm a little "I hate people" to begin with. But - I feel that weed makes me want to be alone and enjoy the serenity of a nice night home alone drinking soda and watching family guy PEOPLE ARE BUZZKILLZ

I'm already quiet by default. It's subject to the strains I guess. I can sit there and not make a sound, or be engaged in conversation.

 

More social

 

Here's a picture I found of Cannabis on the brain.

 
Since it hits the amygdala (processes emotions, feelings, beliefs), one may be anxious to go out, check out these informative articles on the neurotransmitter GABA (http://www.gaba-supplement.com/gaba-for-anxiety-benefits) and <a>(http://overcomingyouranxiety.net/naturalanxietyremedies/gaba-for-anxiety/).</a> Also, dopamine, which is part of ventral striatum, affects your motivation. It determines whether or not you want to chill with people or chill by yourself. Serotonin as well.

 

As a catalyst weed makes me more of what I would be regardless...
Behavior is determined by the environment most pleasant to user. As used here for your I stance OP, my antisocial behavior hinges on videogame consumption and lack of inhibition to stop. While being high, that shit is just more fun.

Introverts tend to be reserved, extroverts more open to audiences present. My .02

 

Why isnt more social an option? I tend to talk and cinversate more high
