I feel where you're coming from, jwbm. I turned 22 yesterday, and I feel like I've wasted the last 6-7 years putting as many intoxicants into my body as possible rather than actually maturing as a person and evolving socially. For me, marijuana did nothing but make my anxiety worse. At least when I drank I'd talk to people (talk rubbish, mind you, but at least it was something). When I smoke pot, I tend to lie on my bed watching South Park and eating cereal. It got so bad for a while that I never answered my door when it rang because of the paranoia. The pros and cons of marijuana can be debated, but in my experience, it's a bad idea if you have social issues.
Bom.
