Referring to alcohol or cannabis as social lubricants has been criticized because they have negative effects on empathy.

I feel like weed does the opposite to that lol to me at least 🤷‍♀️

Might be referring to drugs making it harder to follow an intelligent conversation. You might have stronger reactions to certain emotions, but proper empathy requires a deep understanding of another person’s situation, which you won’t gain while your mind is booked out…
