Making friends using Mary Jane

A friend of mine always talks about when he was in college he used to just meet people and ask if they wanted to smoke a joint with him after class. He met a lot of great friends that way. (Including me and my boyfriend) Do many of you do this? It sounds like the perfect way to meet tokin' friends. Of course you have to be careful of who you ask, but still... I always explain how it was for me in college. It seemed like NO ONE talked to me. Don't know why that is. A lot of people say I look like a bitch, but I'm really not... If I striked up a conversation with someone I think a joint would be the perfect second step towards building a friendship. If anyone does this occasionally or maybe just once before, I'd love to hear about it. Is it a good idea or what?

no because most of the people I've met that toke aren't the type of people that actually turn out to be friends. Usually I don't tell people the things I do until it comes up if it ever does

That makes sense, but if you look at statistics it's like over 50% of the average American adult that smokes at least occasionally. Which is weird... I would have never thought. My guess would have been more like 25%... big difference.
Anyway, I live in New Orleans so it's sorta easy to pick out the people who probably toke to the ones who you know don't.
But that's an interesting point that the people you know who toke aren't friendship types. I guess we just got lucky... he has become a best friend in a short period of time. Never woulda thought.

I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking it's the best friendship starter... The guy I'm speaking of sounds just like you, saying it brings people together. We're always saying what else would we have done together the first few times we hung out besides play video games. Nothing could have been better than toking. I will definitely use it when I get the chance. Eapecially if I go back to school.
You know, I've just realized that drugs in general have helped me become a lot less of a shy person. Without drugs I might just be as closed up as I was in highschool, which was a lot. Thanks mushrooms and weed! lol...

it makes some sense that we would have opposite opinions, seeing as how chemicals, especially psyches, greatly influenced my change from an outgoing, not-shy person to being very closed off from people and anxious around a lot of people

When I was in college I was taking a class for freshman that tought you life/study skills. We had a guy come in and talk to us and we put our chairs in a big circle and he would ask questions. If the question (i.e. "Are you parents divorced") pertained to you, you had to stand up. Towards the end of the class one of the questions was, "Have you ever been told you smoke to much weed"?. I was the only one to stand up. Everyone laughed, but it was cool. After class one of the guys came up to me and asked me if I wanted to go smoke with him and some friends. So I went to the dudes house and we had a smoke out.
I had a lab that started later in the evening, maybe 7ish. We were partnered up right at the beginning of the year, so you basically just worked and talked with your group. Anyways, we had to walk about 3/4 of a mile to a pond to collect water and data for a project. The TA would let us walk down there on our own while she stayed in the class room.
We went down there one night and there was this chill girl in my group that I had told I would bring a J and we could smoke it out on the dock at the pond. Turns out another group of all chicks had to go to the pond too. We started just talking and no one was doing actual work, we just didnt want to go back to class. So, they start talking about partying and shit so I ask if they smoke weed. Three of the four girls said they did.
So I pulled out the joint and we all smoked it down. It was really cool. Everyone there, even the ones not smoking, were really cool and it turned out to be a really cool time. So, in other words, I think its cool to smoke with people you dont know. I mean, thats part of the beauty of marijuana; it brings people together. So, its cool as long as the people and situation are cool. Ive made many friends just because of marijuana.

If I'm out and about with a joint in the city and can't find somewhere for a quite toke by my self, I will find someone random and just ask if they want a smoke(safety in numbers).
I've done this many times, have never been turned down or had a bad experience and have one good friend from doing this:)

Yes, cannabis can help you make friends, or enemies. It depends on how you use it. You have to be careful though, because just because people like to smoke weed does not mean they are good to be around. You have to be careful.
Cannabis can help you make friends, so can alot of other things.

ive made a majority of my friends like this, however it's also common to lose the same friends once mary is taken out of the equation.

honestly I prefer having friends who don't do drugs. Most people I have met who also do drugs are not the kind of people I trust.

It's nice how a smoking circle can bring people together. It's good because everyone is just laying back and feeling relaxed and happy.
However, when you meet a group of people who smoke, and you get to know one of them and smoke with him/her more often, you eventually end up meeting some of their friends. So if you meet one sketchy person out of a group of new smoking friends, you can end up meeting many more sketchy people (i.e. the first sketchy person's friends).
But that can be said of meeting people through any means. You can meet people you don't want to meet at work, at school, at church, through your gym... ANYwhere.
But do you think you'd meet cool people if you never met less-than-cool people? You probably wouldn't appreciate them as much if you didn't...

well people who use all kinds of different drugs have screwed me over before...even mushrooms. It comes with the territory I guess? Just from my experience... a lot of people who are into illegal drugs are greedy as hell.
