When im smokin with others I tend to be more social yet it depends who I smoke with, I have some friends that love to laugh and have fun while others just get real high and don't really talk and it's more of a serious high (which I dont like). I dont think weed really lowers your socialism but for me it increases it and I have made plenty of friends but when you make to many friends that smoke it becomes a problem and they start to rely on you too much and it tends to make me not socialize with them for a short time period and move on with my life and smoke with others.
