Kinda sucks when you don't drink though. Best advice I've heard was to take up a social hobby, but I haven't a clue what that would be either.

Like you said, find an excuse to leave your house I guess.

I think there need to be social locations like bars for people who don't drink (or don't drink a lot) but do use cannabis. Weed "bars" where you can have a similar social situation with a different type of social lubricant that gets people talking.

That still wouldn't cover everyone, obviously, but it would add to the mix.

Best advice I’ve heard was to take up a social hobby, but I haven’t a clue what that would be either.

The problem with that is that I have zero tolerance for stupidity and superstition, so I'd have a lousy time in most conversations or initial dates.

"What sign are you?"

"Check!"

...

"What church do you go to?"

"Check!"
