I prefer to get stoned by myself, or with a couple of close friends. Alone, I usually get all creative and shit (if it's good stuff, which it usually is). With friends, it's basically the same deal, but collaborative. Getting stoned at a party is a waste for me, cuz I wanna stay on top of shit and keep that rapid-fire social savvy goin' on. Plus, cops might show up.
Aside: It's funny how many of y'all view pot as this scary, destructive substance. It's actually pretty benign. I'll be the first to admit that there are some big 'ol loser stoner-stereotypes out there, but they're really the exception to the rule as far as I've seen. Relax, nerds!
