Something I love about marijuana is that it lets me live in the moment and enjoy my deep thoughts. I have always been a social outcast even before I started smoking weed and using lsd, but now I have a small group of friends that understand my perspective on psychedelics (they wanna trip, but no lsd available). Honestly I am happy to stay away from fake sober type people. This may sound weird, but I think I easily value my psychedelic experience's (including ganja) over pointless social gathering.
I think socializing is very healthy but I really cannot relate to the goal oriented way of living that many sober people latch onto. There are good sober people too don't get me wrong, and many many bad drug users. But I just love the psychedelic mind state. I have only had two real lsd trips, but both of them were fascinating and very meaningful to me, even my trip that was too intense- I find it absurd that more people are interested in having such unique experiences.
But from a sober perspective, without a doubt psychedelics make me care a little less about my social life. I still like my close friends though, just not most of society.

Me too. Everything you said. All the memories I have of various pyschedelic experiences (including weed for me too.) are way more important to me than all of the useless time I used to spend going to movies or getting coffee or walking around the mall with people I didn't even like, just so that I felt like I fit in. I was never like that, even when I pretended to be. That was a pretty long time ago and since then I have honestly stopped giving a fuck. I am who I am and I've gotten comfortable with myself and around people in large part because of weed. I found a good group of people and a place and mindset that I fit into and realized that I shouldn't have to pretend. All of those other things always felt so...EMPTY. Weed made me appreciate the little things and has given me so many amazing times that are so much better than that forced conversation and wasted time.

Hey weed does that to me too. I love it. I would like to have a huge smoking session with everyone who posted in this topic.
Useless to say I've bond a very strong relationship with people I used to smoke or have tripped with. I'm just sorry I've too many "let's get fucked up" friends, and too few cool like you.

When i was in highschool sophmore - senior year me and my ffriends got fucked up everyday. Our group of friends and then other groups of drug abusing people would occasionally get together and get fucked up. But for the most part it was just myself and our group of friends (like 10 people) Not every person was there all the time but the group was there all the time. Blazing before school and at lunch, after school doing opiates. At night getting drunk, doing coke ocassionally. And then there were the people at school that didn't do this. They stayed sober, and we all hated them. Moral of the story OP, those people tat are keeping them selves busy are missing out on a lot of fun and positive experiences. I don't regret my drug use one bit!

The reason I hang out with the people I do is because we like the same hobbies and activities. One of them is smoking weed. So that's what we do. We have other hobbies too, though, like having jam sessions, hackysack and going to the park and such. Why should you care about what other people are doing? Most of the time, hanging out with "normal" or "popular" kids is boring as shit anyway. It's not like they don't do the same shit over and over again too, and they make themselves look like assholes while they do it, where as most drug users just chill and leave everyone alone.
As for tripping, I would much rather spend a night alone tripping than hang out with a bunch of other people who will probably end up doing douchebag type things after they get really fucked up. Tripping would be infinitely more productive. As long as you have at least a few friends who you can share your tripping experiences and drug use with, you're set IMO. As long as you have other hobbies

I used to hang with the popular crowd and drink and do stupid shit. I really didn't feel comfortable with myself. I was hiding my true personality for fear of what they would think of me.
I started smoking weed and eventually I pretty much said fuck it and kept to myself.
I met the most beautiful girl 1 year ago from now who is now my girlfriend.
A few weeks ago we dropped acid and I was happier than I have ever been and realised how stupid I've been in the past.
I now have a new circle of friends who are like minded, trip, and smoke weed and I've never felt more at home. That's just me though I guess.

No, I don't believe that my drug use hinders my social life and I am extremely content with my drug use.
All of my friends (the ones which I hang out with on almost a dialy basis) do drugs, but this is completley irrelevant. I also have a fairly large group of friends that don't do drugs, and we have the same relationship. The only person I've been able to have a deep conversation with any time is someone who has never smoked, and has only drank on occasion.
Don't think that drug use defines you as a person. In my eyes, drug use is a hobby I have, and a hobby I love.
As long as you are happy with what you're doing, why worry about how people view you because of it?

I don't know if this is what you mean but...
Getting to know new people is hard, when they dont get high or trip.
Everyone I work with gets drunk, I dont. Only one guy do I even have a hint has AT LEAST smoked weed..... but he doesnt anymore, and I could get fired on a drug test.
Church? No thanks. Those people scare me.
Even considering these difficulties.... If I made a friend.... at some point, the subject is going to HAVE to come up.
I have brought the subject of weed up at work.... no takers. Its illegal and bad for you. ( i live in a pretty conservative place. )
I find it very hard to take social meetings to the next level..... Probably from the many years of learning to "hang out" with people meant getting high or tripping.
And probably part personal prefference, If I met you for the first time, I would rather dose up with you than go thru the ordeal of small talk. By the end of the night, we would probably be friends, but if not, at least we would find out fairly quickly.

haha, that is a great way to know someone, take lsd. see right through the barriers, could be risky though.
I agree that for certain people it is very hard to meet new friends or find a good group to hang out with

Small talk is an art I have yet to master. >.<
Them :"So what do you do for a living? "
Me: "Who cares? I am just doing it to pay for all the things I dont really need, but feel pressured to work for in order to conform to an ideal of "success" that doesnt really exist, while at the same time.. passing my short time on this planet without too much suffering."
Them : " uhhh..... ok..... your wierd."
