I have a serious problem.. socializing + weed

Discussion in 'Apprentice Marijuana Consumption' started by ruskii, Apr 24, 2013.

  1. Hey whats up guys, I'm currently 18 on my last year of high school and I've been going through this struggle for the past several months.
    I've been smoking for two years now and since about last summer every time I've gotten high, I've had a very difficult time maintaining a conversation. Especially with girls but even with my closest friends. I just trip way too hard and I can't concentrate no matter how much I try.
    I think it might be because I usually smoke out of my Hoss with these people and it has a really big bowl piece and I pack really big punches so I get way too high.
    I'm not sure though, like if I have a few tokes of a spliff it's not that bad, but I'm starting to hate the weed because of my social problem.
    I'm fine when it comes to sober conversation or when I'm drunk I'm good too, but when I'm high it's a whole new story and it's been bothering me intensively.
    I've even thought about completely quitting but I don't think I could do that and people know me as a stoner so I don't really even want to quit because I love it.
    My big question is if there is a special girl that I want to get closer with, but we only chill to get high as of right now, if I were to invite her over, should I just let her smoke and not do it myself so I can stay confident and be a good speaker and listener?

    Neeeeeed help! Thanks to anyone who gives it a read and gives me their opinion and/or some advice.

    :wave:
     
  2. Ask her to smoke but don't smoke too much. Your problem is probably that you get too high amd can't talk.
     
  3. I agree cannabis makes me unable to socialize properly for like 48 hours after use.

    I noticed this, ive vaped every day for like 1-2 years and stopped for a week and I was so much better at speaking.
     
  4. Have you ever considered that the cannabis is reflecting a social issue within yourself you may not be fully conscious of and it simply allows you to recognize this block? Once you recognize what it is the problem will fade away if you truly are unblocked and have investigated the true source of the problem. There's nothing to be afraid of just get to the bottom of it so you can experience what you actually want and hold onto it

    Peace be with you
     
  5. I don't know if its as long as 48 hours after usage.. but definitely a problem while I'm high.
     
  6. dont get stupid high all the time
     
  7. yea for real, just smoke less. How have you been toking for so long out of that big bowl piece and still maintain a low tolerance so you get super stoned off from one big bowl?
     
  8. thats pot and thats perfectly normal.
    it only really happens when im stoney having to talk to people who aren't. when i am with a group of equally stoned people conversation flows and it makes sense.
    but if the person i am talking to is not stoned, i am either disinterested in what they are saying to me or i am unable to make appropriated response to hold up my end of the conversation. or perhaps i am just hyper-aware that i must sound like im really stoned.
    it happens - just let people know "dude im way to high for this conversation right now" and a stoner will understand
     
  9. Well, how to put this? It may sound like something you may not want to hear, but too much weed on regular basis could do that to you.
    Of course occasional consumption of green is not going to damage the brain, or whatever.
    But if you do it regularly, every day, or if you inhale quite large amounts when you do. You could condition your brain to it, so that you'll find it difficult to function in a real , fast speed world.

    Not much you could do except cut down your use of it. Not trying to be a buzzkill but at the age when you say you began smoking it, 16?, is not the best age to smoke it regularly.
    That's because during this age you are supposed to be in high school and learning stuff either for work after High School or College. You may do well and pass classes, but if you smoke a lot you'll have difficulty retaining the knowledge when you need your brain to work fast.

    Maybe you should try drinking large amounts of coffee to get your brain to speed. But I think a couple weeks of not smoking weed will get you back to normal.

    I didn't smoke it in either high school or college. Tried it like 5 times. But my more experienced friend who used to be a stoner in the same house where I lived told me how he and some friends bought a huge bag of weed once.
    He said that he and others smoked a lot every day.
    Unfortunately when he started class again he was unable to focus and retain any knowledge for some time before he returned to normal.
     
  10. Personally, weed makes me socialize SO much easier, that is, IF I'm not ridiculously high. But you can control it, even if you are super stoned.

    You should cut back. Who cares if it's only a few small hits or something, you will not so high that you can't form a sentence at least, right? (Believe me, I know how that feels). When I get super stoned, it takes me forever to string together a conversation with someone and unless I'm with others that are smoking, I just look like an idiot.

    Which I don't mind. You need to just not care and socialize. Smoke less, free your mind, and open up. One of the main reasons I smoke is the aspect of socializing while high.

    Funny story; one time I got super stoned and went to my schools version (small university) of The Price is Right! to just see what they were giving away as prizes. There were about 250 people at the show and who of all people gets picked to come down and be a contestant? Me. And I knew it even prior to being picked. I told my friends, "I'm being picked on this tonight" and I started bugging. When i got up there, I just thought to myself, "I just need to relax and not care." It was tough in front of a whole crowd but I did it, so if I can, you can. and turns out I won a Keurig, a grill, and a bunch of misc. items!

    Moral of the story: have a good mindset. Clear your mind and relax before smoking, and you'll have a good, carefree high where I'm sure you'll have no problem holding a good conversation.
     
  11. No offence OP. You say you are now 18, yet you signed up 2 years ago.

    I think think your underage, because the immediate age everyone under age says is either 18 or 25.

    I'm talking of the more latent effects from antipsychoactive cannabinoids.

    I can vape and have an antipsychotic effect for 48 hours after.

    In fact you may not notice it unless you hyper-analyze your psyche or use cannabis more than once a day for years. Going off of the medication changes me, typically for the worse.
     
  13. maybe cut down on the amount you are smoking? so take only 1 small hit or something. just so that you can get a head change, but not super faded.
     
  14. smoking as a teen can cause problems, maybe thats one of them? Best to only smoke regularly when you get done with puberty. Which you may still be going through.
     
  15. Now Skeeter, he aint hurtin' nobody

    lol I can have good conversations, but i usually can't keep up with it. Like I'll talk to someone and forget what we're talking about right after i say my sentence. But it keeps going on though lol

    if I'm super faded i'll be able to form sentences with cops/parents MAYBE, but with my friends when I don't have to put effort into it, it's a definite no lol.
     
  17. I'm the same way OP, I get trapped in my mind and everyone thinks I'm a mute ahaha. :smoking:
     
  18. Read that he was 'tripping' and stopped reading
     
  19. Some people are good vibes when stoned. Some are bad vibes.
     

  20. Currently 18, signed up 2 years ago underage. Nice respect for the forums.
