Every weekend I play games with my wife and a handful of friends on Saturday night. Same group of 5 of us every time and a handful of others occasionally.
I freeze up though. I can feel my voice reverberating through my head and just cannot speak. This actually happens anytime I’m high, but I mostly notice on discord since I’m not a social smoker.
How do I not be a mute?
First of all, 2nd on the comment suggesting you just don’t smoke if you don’t like the experience. But if you enjoy anything about this situation–smoke less. Maybe you just need a puff or two to catch the right vibe. Or try edibles, or just CBD-based products. Point is, either stop doing the thing you don’t like, or do less of it ;-)
