Sometimes it's hard to talk when I'm stoned, so I may not be all that articulate with friends anyway. It's nice to go into a world of your own, turn your eyes inward if you want to, and zone without someone saying, "Hey! Where'd you go???" So while there are times I wish I had more people to smoke with, it's nice to have the benefits of smoking alone.

I had a bad reaction when I was 16 and home alone with a 1/4 oz of weed while my parents were away on vacation. Waiting for a bunch of friends to come over, I figured I'd start the party early and started hitting the bag. It was high quality for that time and I smoked way more than I should have. Got severely paranoid and anxious and being a novice, left the house to get some fresh air. It worked, but the spectacle I made of myself as I walked around that block was pathetic. I think that's what people mean when they tell you not to smoke alone. If you're not following the rule of "go low and slow" in the beginning, you could ingest more THC than you can handle properly and if there's no one there to help you balance out how you're feeling from the extreme high, paranoia and extreme anxiousness can set in. If you simply work yourself into it properly by moderating your intake and seeing what works best for you, smoking alone can be superb.
Good point. I started out taking 3 puffs only, sometimes only 2. The medical marijuana is strong, stronger than street marijuana. So I wanted to pace it, but these days I'm getting more tolerant of it, so I smoke more, like 7 to 8 puffs, sometimes even up to 10. I also smoke twice a day, morning and night. But I agree with you, moderation is imperative, especially in the beginning.
i love to have a puff and do my artwork alone. Me, a good podcast, my art, good tea and I'm a happy camper.
Who is to say what is BAD and what is GOOD about smoking alone? if you enjoy it that's a good thing. If you waste your time feeling guilty or depressed about it then don't do it. If it brings up loneliness or bad thoughts, don't do it. If you have fun like me and do something creative or go for a hike, than there is absolutely no problem.
When it comes to smoking marijuana alone, the answer is always "Yes." The better questions come later.
Thanks to living close to a state that offers recreational dispensaries, for the first time in my life I actually know what I'm smoking and I'm getting to know what I like and what I don't. I have been chasing high THC indica strains as soon as I found out that's the type that seems to provide me with perfect sleep and pain relief. Found three strains that cannot be beat: Brownie Scout (30.9 THCA), Cornbread (27% THCA) and OGKushBreath 2.0 (26.5% THCA and 1.1% delta 9). I smoke daily and usually only in the late evening and I hit that stuff hard every night. At least 5 to 7 rips and two hours or so later, I'm on my way to a peaceful uninterrupted 12 hour sleep. Fact is, one rip is all I really need and I learned that today. Took one full lung-filling pull on the pipe this afternoon and I felt just as high as the night before after taking 6 rips. I plan on using less, because maybe for me less is more. I won't be going through my stuff so quickly and maybe in the end will save some $, because it can get pretty expensive going through an ounce every six weeks.
I hear you. I'm in Pennsylvania so we don't have any recreational dispensaries atm...I hope that changes at some point. The medical dispensaries I go to have limits on how much you can buy...I can't get much more than a quarter at a time, but lately I have been hitting the dispensary twice a month. I'm probably developing a tolerance which is normal I know. I could tone it down to save money too, but it does help more with my anxiety when I do it more often. I tend to prefer sativas during the day but sometimes I wait until night as well, since it does help with sleep.
I am too! Just toked on Full Moon Fever and I'm drifting into a state of grace!!! Every time I toke, my cat becomes super needy. Idk if the smell is getting to him or he thinks I'm drifting away somewhere and he wants to pull me back with him lmao. Probably both.
