Is it normal that i only get high when i'm alone?

I've been smoking weed at least once a day for about two years now. I smoke with my roommate the most often, and often have blunt sessions with my larger group of friends (like, almost every night). I always have fun and really do enjoy myself when I smoke with other people, but for some reason, I can't seem to REALLY get high anymore when I'm with others. Like, my mind somehow blocks off any "high" thoughts when I'm with other people so that I can think relatively normally (albeit more openly and rationally) and am able to hold a conversation perfectly fine. All I really experience from the weed (no matter how much I smoke) is a body high. When I smoke by myself and chill alone, however, I am able get really, really stoned, just like I used to. It's making me want to smoke by myself more and more, which I generally avoid doing. I don't know if I like this. Does anyone else experience anything like this?

  • I like it alone.

  • This always happens to me as well. I think it's because the mind is not so focused on what's going on around you. When you are alone, you may not realize it, but your thoughts and imagination dominate your experience for the most part. Add weed to this mixture and you are just lost in a vivid daydream when alone.

  • Yup as the person above me said. I too like getting high bymyself most of the times since you can keep it all to yourself and dont have to share.Not being stingy or anything but $5 is $5.

  • cuz ur sharing with other people ur smoking less weed and therefore getting less stoned

  • I kinda feel the same but i like smoking by myself sometimes. It's more meditative. Maybe it has something to do with brain development.
