TIL drinking, smoking, games, etc are all "social lubricants" for making conversations easier. - sh.itjust.works

also > Referring to alcohol [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_/(drug/)] or cannabis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_/(drug/)] 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 🤷‍♀️
