Wow, I'm glad to hear someone else gets like this, I've been smoking for around 18 years, but I just can't mix alcohol and herb. If I've been drinking first, it also gives me the 'spins' sometimes and I get nauseous. I've always been able to hold my own even on crazy amounts of lsd / x / weed, etc, even in public. However, even as recently as a month ago, I smoked and drank at a party and was standing there and had gone from being extremely chatty with everyone at the party (who I knew 95% of) to talking to myself in my head about not having anything to say - which kept amplifying. I couldn't find a place to jump in the convo, once I thought of something, it was like two conversations later, my quick wit was completely gone. I ended up just leaving with my g/f who I had to explain to in the car that I felt bad and couldn't talk, etc. It was lame. Otherwise, weed is great!
