Is it normal to find it hard to talk to people in parties while high,

Whenever I get high and go to a party I find it hard to talk to people that I dont know well. I feel so messed up that I cant make sense and make good judgement about my word choices while Im talking in a conversation.

    Don't worry about that, beside it's a normal thing to feel even if you aren't high. Just don't toke when you're going to be around people who don't do it, at least until you become more confident in yourself. There is no shame in being stoned on marijuana, but people try to make us feel that way anyways (ignorance)... That's where you're paranoia probably stems from.

    Just so you know: Dr. Andrew Weil M.D.(a famous physician and author) wrote in "The Natural Mind"...

    "What pharmacologists cannot make sense of is that people who are high on marijuana cannot be shown, in objective terms, to be different from people who are not high. That is, if a marijuana user is allowed to smoke his usual doses and then to do things he has had a chance to practice while high, he does not appear to perform any differently from someone who is not high."

    "The tendency for novice users of marijuana to imagine that their psychological functioning is disrupted to a much greater degree than it actually is, is most noticeable in conection with subtle changes in speech. People who are high on marijuana seem to have to do slightly more work that usual to remember moment to moment the logical thread of what they are saying. This change manifests itself in two ways: as a tendency to forget what one started out to say, especially following an interruption, and a tendency to go off on irrelevant tangents. Zinberg, Nelson and I were able to pick up these changes in tape recordings of our Boston subjects, but I must emphasize the adjective subtle in describing them. Someone not specially trained to listen for these changes would not hear them. Interestingly enough, however, marijuana users themselves often imagine they are not making sense and become anxious about other people guessing that they are high. Some users experience this subjective anxiety about speech most intensely when they are talking on the telephone."

    Whenever i get high around people that are also high i have the most fun but last week i got high at a party and it wasn't fun at all and i was really self concious but once i was smoking with people who were also high it was good again. my advice is to be around people that are high whilst you are high.

    there is no such sentence that is phrased 'quite and be normal'. something different you do mean to grammatically represent.. i am a cunt.. do drugs and then don't do them and then do them again; following with a period of not doing them.. but all the time learn from your experiences.. be good to those yoy love and be good to those you don't love.. help those you love in selflessness and also help those you don't love in the same way.. i am a cunt.. you have to realise this
