Smoking marijuana whilst driving

[Leetonidas]

Just curious, how many of you have or currently engage in this activity?

I combust hemp daily.

[Dr. Gonzo]

I used to do it all the time. There was almost never a time when I was driving when I wasn't either hitting a pipe or smoking cigs. That went on for about 8 years. Every time I drove.

[phyzik]

If it's accepted by ANYONE here that its ok to smoke weed while driving but yet condemn driving while drinking, kill your hipocrit self right now.

I Love me some smoke and I knoe EXACTLY how I feel when I smoke that ish.... It is NO fucking different than being drunk. Its a "different" kind of feeling but the effect is still the same.

And yes, I do still smoke AND drink... but I do not drive under either condition.

Then again, I have a corner store literllay down the block so I dont exactly have to drive either way. :toast

[Leetonidas]

Obviously you don't smoke often at all or you're just a lightweight because being drunk and being stoned are NOTHING alike. I don't like being drunk, hence why I smoke weed.

Obviously your biased. I have been smoking since 9th grade... that was in 1995. I'm no light weight. You smoke enough and you will zone out on the road. It's definately not the same as being drunk but dont fucking pretend you dont zone out at all and are completely aware of whats going on. Dont be that kind of jackass.

[mookie2001]

i dont do it any more unless im on a trip over an hour, or with someone and about to go in a bar, game, movie or concert

or in a small south texas city where this is the best way to pass the time

when youre actually driving you get more stoned- this is fact ive studied it, theres just something about the enclosed quarters, the motion, the concentration on maximizing the hit, the music


when im really drunk i have no desire to drive anywhere, if im moderatly drunk i have the tendency to drive fast and corner harder, brake hard etc... if youre stoned this is the last thing you would ever do, its like crusing slow and obeying the traffic laws become a challenging simulation or strategic game

[CubanSucks]

The only time I smoked and drove I got lost in the town I've lived in for 9 years and going down a road that I go down all the time. For a few seconds I though I was in a completely other city and was starting to freak out. Plus, I'm not sure if it was the weed getting the best of my paranoia or just a coincidence but there was a cop at every turn and light

[The Reckoning]

mookie's car is his laboratory

Dude I know your tight with your smoke and I have no cash but if you or your pals need some laptop work lets do a trade!

:smokin

[InRareForm]

i drive better, less stress/road rage, more fun, :toast

[xellos88330]

This is some seriously retarded teenager shit.

Why does everyone thing doing something like this is cool? Shit like this makes it really hard for me to take my 9 month old daughter anywhere because some retarded fuckstick will be smoking, drinking, or both while driving thinking he/she is so awesome.

Fuck all of you who do that shit. Grow the fuck up already.

Exactly, this is not something to brag about :nope

[Kumar]

nothing wrong with toking a joint or drinking a beer in a car imo.

but if your 'stoned' or drunk, get off the road. (i.e. can't handle your shit w/o getting stupid)

[balli]

lol at anyone who gets so stoned they freak out and don't know where they are. If that happens, weed is not for you.

lol at anyone who thinks being high from marijuana is vaguely similar or even 1/32 as dangerous as driving drunk.

lol at anybody who doesn't get it.

I drive 'stoned' on the regular and quite frankly there's so minuscule a cognitive difference between being high and stone sober that I don't even think about it.

[Leetonidas]

Honestly, I don't. Of course, you don't roll up a joint of the dankest dank you have and consciously think to yourself, "let's see how fucked up I can get while driving."

The trick is to not zone out and also, not to smoke a shit ton of weed while you're driving. Smoke a few bowls of regs, maybe a bowl of dank, or hell, a joint/blunt or regs and you'll be fine. I can smoke weed and function perfectly fine. If anything, it makes me more aware of what's going on while I'm driving because I'm slightly more paranoid. I've gotten past that whole zoning out into space shit.

And how am I biased? I like to drink, sometimes being drunk is nice. But I would much rather smoke weed because of the fact that it is less inhibiting and helps me operate on a higher, more functional level.

Fuck you, whiny fag. Never did anyone in here state they were cool for smoking while driving. And if you have such a problem with taking your little 9 month old out then ride the fucking bus.

You would be amazingly surprised, ESPECIALLY IN SAN ANTONIO, how many people are driving around fucked up on Xanax, coke, meth, drunk as shit, or on herion, and you're complaining about people smoking weed and driving?

You need to grow up sir and stop sucking the government's cock because they tell you weed is evil and it kills. That's a bunch of bullshit and you've proved what a retarded little drone you are for swallowing that shit whole.

Smoking while driving is as dangerous as eating a burger while driving, maybe less. And the people who will smoke and drive are they people who KNOW they can handle doing it, because trust me, I have plenty of friends who are lightweights who won't touch a steering wheel when they're blazed.

Now, kindly GTFO out with your anti-weed bullshit.

EDIT: Alright maybe that was a tad harsh, I didn't mean that to be so insulting. All I'm saying is, driving while high =/= retarded fuckstick.

[mrsmaalox]

Fuck you, you little whiny fag. Never did anyone in here state they were cool for smoking while driving.

Oh puh-leeze, he didn't say anything "anti-weed". He blasted driving while impaired. You know darn well it only takes one irresponsible dickhead who doesn't know their limits and can't control their faculties to cause a tragedy. Just calm down!!

[iilluzioN]

dont you guys know that weed is not good for you?


time to grow up fellas

Calm down, why cant you just participate in a discussion without insulting anyone?

I think his reason is why risk it? Why risk getting someone in an accident because you don't have any self restriction to just stay at home. Im all for smoking and drinking but if you are impaired, stay at home or don't get behind the wheel.

[Fpoonsie]

Never done it "WHILST" driving, but I have gotten pretty blazed and taken a trip to my local Mickey D's. All I can remember is pulling up to the two foot tall concrete "curb" in the parking lot...for about 5 solid minutes. I kept slowly inching my way closer and closer to it while using EVERY bit of strength I had to push down on the brake. For some reason, that was the most difficult thing EVER.

A buddy of mine said that one time he was smokin' "whilst" driving and ended up sitting at a stop sign for about 20 mins...waiting for it to turn green.

[Blake]

lol at you for not knowing what DUI means

[balli]

Marijuana's a hellofa drug, apparently.

Not to call those stories bullshit, but anyone who takes 5-20 minutes to figure out a brake pedal and/or stop sign has much bigger problems on their hands than those accentuated by marijuana.

I'm not surprised at all how many times people get away with DUI

this thread proves you're an idiot.

please keep on with your pro-DUI stance. I want to hear more.

:lol

I don't smoke often. And my buddy got me REAL high.

[balli]

lol at you for not knowing what DUI means
There's a difference between not knowing and not caring. You know nothing about weed. Or how it affects me. I'm not interested in following some bullshit law that doesn't make an ounce of sense just because you're afraid of marijuana's supposedly destructive influence.

dont you guys know that weed is not good for you?
So's not minding your own fucking business.


time to grow up fellas
How about the joke of the year on this site doesn't try to tell other people how they should be living. Time to stop getting drunk and posting faggy pictures of yourself on the internet. Ostensibly, to make yourself look 'hot'. That's something a child would do.

[balli]

:lol

I don't smoke often. And my buddy got me REAL high.

:tu to that. It just trips me out. I forget how high marijuana gets the people who don't smoke it regularly.

[Fpoonsie]

:tu to that. It just trips me out. I forget how high marijuana gets the people who don't smoke it regularly.

Outta curiosity, you mentioned that there wasn't a major "cognitive" difference when you smoke as opposed to when you're sober.

Assuming that you smoke on a fairly consistent basis, do you even FEEL "high" anymore, or does the smokin' just help to even you out?

[Bigzax]

i can still feel a little high, but unless i get me some of snoop's shit, i doubt i'm gonna hit another level anytime soon...

[jack sommerset]

Why drink and drive when you get high and fly!

[balli]

Assuming that you smoke on a fairly consistent basis, do you even FEEL "high" anymore, or does the smokin' just help to even you out?
The first time I smoke in the morning I feel particularly high (REM replenishes your neurotransmitters), but it's probably a far different high than what you experience as a non-smoker. It's not like it evens me out. I don't buy into that DARE bs that you get all low and need drugs to feel normal again. Or hell, maybe you do, I've never taken hard drugs. But it's not like that with weed.

When I used the word 'cognitive' I guess I was talking about my mind's ability to function. I feel slightly different right after I smoke, but there's not enough weed on earth to make me feel like I've lost control of my mental faculties. I mean shit, I'm 'high' right now. I guess it's just so normal for me that I don't even think of being high as being high.

[iilluzioN]

So's not minding your own fucking business.


lol I do mind my own business....

This is a Forum where we can discuss things and topics, Im just saying its bad for yall....

whats wrong with saying that?

You seem like I offended you to a great deal, :lol..... just stfu

[balli]

Im just saying its bad for yall....

whats wrong with saying that?
And I'm just sayin' it's bad for you to get fucked up on alcohol to the point that you post faggy pictures of yourself on the internet in an attempt to seem 'hot'. I thought the internet was a place where we could discuss things and topics. What's wrong with saying that?

[mingus]

i smoked for a while. i got really bored of it. the effect of it reduces and lasts a shorter period once you build a tolerance to it, plus i was getting really lazy on it. i just have a rule that i try to live by, which is to do pretty much everything in moderation. i smoke once in a blue moon now.

Huh. I assumed that's whatchoo meant by "cognitive", which is why I had to word my question just so. Yeah, having never experienced the "DARE bs" myself, I just took their "statistics" at face value.

I've always heard about people becoming much more "creative" when they're high (artists, authors, musicians, etc). I remember getting particularly stoned one night and gettin hit w/ a BUNCH o' "creativity", so, as any cliche' 21st century 20-something would do, I went straight to my computer to write a new blog. As luck would have it, and, again, being such a light-weight, I couldn't type for shit -- couldn't even "chicken-peck". Fuckin low tolerance. [sigh]

[jack sommerset]

:lol Noway that dude is straight.

[mingus]

i do know one guy who smokes probably as much as Balli does, and he can function as well or better than your normal person. in fact, he's probably the best at what he does where he works. i guess if you can do that - and most people i've met who do it on a daily basis can't - then go ahead; if you can't, it's probably not responsible. either way, the cancer consequence is going to be there.

[iilluzioN]

hey dont hate cause I look handsome :lol

and theres nothing wrong with posting a pic of myself... If you dont like it no need to post in my thread...

is this the way you speak to people in real life? you must have no friends

[pawe]

They dont care if you post pics of yourself while you're "drunk". People will start throwing crap at you when you tell them they cant mess with you because you are 6'1 200lbs (yeah right).

I like smoking just because of the munchies. The food that Im eating suddenly tastes like it was cooked by a world class chef.

[Blake]

There's a difference between not knowing and not caring. You know nothing about weed. Or how it affects me. I'm not interested in following some bullshit law that doesn't make an ounce of sense just because you're afraid of marijuana's supposedly destructive influence.

Actually I do know about weed and the laws regarding it. I also know that you can be arrested for a DUI for downing too many OTC meds.

There is a difference, but you still don't know as well as don't care, which makes you stupid.


So's not minding your own fucking business.

what are you doing posting on a message board then? :lol

[iilluzioN]

what are you doing posting on a message board then? :lol


rriigghhtt!! :lol

[balli]

If you dont like it no need to post in my thread...
I didn't. In fact I left you entirely alone until you condescended about substance abuse. You're the last person on this site who needs to be lecturing anyone. Or telling other people what's bad for them.


is this is you talk to people in real life?
People in real life aren't stupid enough to contemptuously pontificate about what's bad for me. So I don't know how to answer that question.

[balli]

what are you doing posting on a message board then? :lolI'm talking about the subject. I don't need people who are ass ignorant about it asking lame ass questions like:


Don't you know what a DUI is? Don't you know that weed is bad for you?

I said my piece about something I'm intimately familiar with. Feel free to talk about it- and I'll respond in kind. Condescend to me and I'll shut down.

[Fat Bones]

I have to admit, I have frequently drove while eating carne guisada.

It's s combo that just doesn't mix well, and don't even mention enchiladas.

Actually, a couple of buds soaked into my coffee works rather well when driving to Dallas.

[balli]

Fuckin low tolerance. [sigh]
:lol It's all good- whether you can type or not, you probably have a lot of fun the rare times you do smoke, no? It probably feels like a 'big event' for lack of a better word. Which is cool.

[Leetonidas]

This thread is awesome. :lol

Thanks for only reassuring everyone that you're a faggot, Blake. Also nice replies balli, it's good to see that someone else here sees marijuana the way I do. I guess you can't really know until you do it frequently for yourself. And I still don't remember anyone here claiming to be cool because of driving while high.

DUI? Please. Do you know how many people are RX meds that are way stronger than weed? Like any of you have never driven while even the slightest buzzed/drunk.

[Hornets1]

I cook part time(days I'm not in school) and I smoke a joint on the way to work every day I work. I smoke 2 joints when I'm on the way to Nola to see the Hornets

[Blake]

I'm talking about the subject. I don't need people who are ass ignorant about it asking lame ass questions

you are ignorant about the subject but even if you ask a lame question, as long as you learn something today, it's ok.



I said my piece about something I'm intimately familiar with. Feel free to talk about it- and I'll respond in kind. Condescend to me and I'll shut down.

you obviously don't know that driving under the influence is illegal for good reason and you are stupid for not caring.

Feel free to shut down.

[Hornets1]

:lol It's all good- whether you can type or not, you probably have a lot of fun the rare times you do smoke, no? It probably feels like a 'big event' for lack of a better word. Which is cool.

I would give anything to have the tolerence(or lackthereof) that I had when I started smoking. 2 hits and your BLAZED for Hours.

[balli]

I've said you obviously don't know that driving under the influence is illegalYup. That's right Blake. I didn't know that. I had never heard of this DUI concept before today. Thanks man, you've really clued me in. I don't know how I made it 26 years without ever thinking about the subject, but yeah, thanks. Your input has been both insightful and eye-opening. And well spoken, I might add.

[Nbadan]

No need for weed, but I do need laptop work done...

[Blake]

This thread is awesome. :lol

so are you cool or not cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont?

calling me a faggot doesn't answer the question.



DUI? Please. Do you know how many people are RX meds that are way stronger than weed? Like any of you have never driven while even the slightest buzzed/drunk.

and all of that would be considered to be DUI

are you cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont?

[Blake]

I got you confused with leetonidas for a second but I got it straight now: you're the idiot that thinks it's a bullshit law that doesn't make an ounce of sense.

[xtremesteven33]

For most pot smokers theres no difference between driving while smoking a cigarrette or a joint....no hallucinations, no tripping out, just relaxation.

[Leetonidas]

are you cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont?

Please tell me where I said that and how the fuck you came to this conclusion.


And the people who will smoke and drive are they people who KNOW they can handle doing it, because trust me, I have plenty of friends who are lightweights who won't touch a steering wheel when they're blazed.

Nope...didn't say that. What I did say was the lightweights don't drive while high because they know they can't. If you know your limits on what you can and can't do while high, then everything's cool. The people who smoke and drive are good at what they do. How many times do you here "a man found to be under the influence of marijuana crashed his car into a minivan with 2 toddlers and a hot soccer mom?" Never, because it doesn't happen.

[Blake]

Please tell me where I said that and how the fuck you came to this conclusion.

you havent yet and I haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Are you high right now? Is that why you don't realize that this is pretty much a yes or no question:


are you cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont

third time: Are you cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont?


How many times do you here "a man found to be under the influence of marijuana crashed his car into a minivan with 2 toddlers and a hot soccer mom?" Never, because it doesn't happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEKIN — After causing a head-on crash that killed a Peoria mother and son Saturday near Pekin, a 17-year-old Pekin resident was ticketed for driving under the influence of marijuana.

The two-vehicle crash about 11:45 a.m. Saturday on Manito Blacktop Road killed Carolyn J. Rosenbohm, 27, and her son Maxwell Dodd, 4, both of 517 Vine St. in Peoria.

Colby A. Maile, 17, of 1102 S. Third St. in Pekin said he fell asleep at the wheel after an all-night fishing trip at Spring Lake. In addition to the DUI charge, Maile was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions and driving in the wrong lane.

Capt. Billy Merrill of the Tazewell County Sheriff's Department said Maile was cited and released at Methodist Medical Center, where he and 19-year-old Joseph Cherry of Manito were treated for minor injuries, and was given an August court date. The Tazewell County State's Attorney's Office will decide which charges to formally file against Maile, Merrill said.

Merrill said marijuana was found in Maile's system via blood drawn at the hospital and that no alcohol was detected in Maile's blood.

Cherry, the passenger in the SUV Maile was driving, told police he was asleep at the time of the crash.

The Sheriff's Department and Coroner's Office withheld the victims' names and virtually all details of the crash for about 48 hours.

On Monday afternoon, Merrill said the minivan driven by Rosenbohm was going southwest near a curve when the northeastbound SUV crossed into her lane. The vehicles hit head-on.

"They indicated they were up all night fishing, and (Maile) said he said he must have fallen asleep at the wheel," Merrill said.

Tazewell County Coroner Dennis Conover conducted autopsies Monday morning. Preliminary causes of death were blunt force trauma to the body for Rosenbohm and blunt force trauma to the head for Dodd.

Results of routine toxicology testing on Rosenbohm could take about a month to process, Conover said.

Authorities said Rosenbohm is survived by husband Michael, whom she recently married, and two children. Dodd is survived by his father, Shad Dodd of Florida. Relatives could not be reached for comment.

that took all of 1 minute.

you're an idiot but keep going.

[Jimcs50]

Better to not drive without having 100% of your attention on your driving. No drinking, no smoking, no texting, etc etc. There are enough bad drivers on the road as it is.

[iilluzioN]

Blake... dont even bother trying to talk to these pot smokers... they are stupid

naw, I get a kick out of it or I wouldn't post at all.

[gatoloco]

yeah Blake, you and faggy smurf leave us alone.

[tp2021]

^^^ Sure seems like a sleeping driver caused that crash, not weed.

And don't tell me the weed put him to sleep. If he smoked enough to make him fall asleep before he drove, he probably wouldn't have even got in that car in the first place, out of sheer itis.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are pro weed-driving.

[Crookshanks]

Yeah - smoking weed is harmless and we should just "butt" out. It's the pot smokers who are delusional.
=============================

Significant Health Problems
Smoking marijuana can cause significant health problems. Marijuana contains more than 400 chemicals, of which 60 are cannabinoids. Smoking a marijuana cigarette deposits about three to five times more tar into the lungs than one filtered tobacco cigarette.
Consequently, regular marijuana smokers suffer from many of the same health problems as tobacco smokers, such as chronic coughing and wheezing, chest colds, and chronic bronchitis. In fact, studies show that smoking three to four joints per day causes at least as much harm to the respiratory system as smoking a full pack of cigarettes every day.

Marijuana smoke also contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into malignant cells.


Mental Health Problems
In addition, smoking marijuana can lead to increased anxiety, panic attacks, depression, social withdrawal, and other mental health problems, particularly for teens. Research shows that kids aged 12 to 17 who smoke marijuana weekly are three times more likely than nonusers to have suicidal thoughts.

Marijuana use also can cause cognitive impairment, to include such short-term effects as distorted perception, memory loss, and trouble with thinking and problem solving. Students with an average grade of D or below were found to be more than four times as likely to have used marijuana in the past year as youths who reported an average grade of A.

For young people, whose brains are still developing, these effects are particularly problematic and jeopardize their ability to achieve their full potential.

We need to put to rest the thought that there is such a thing as a lone drug user, a person whose habits affect only himself or herself. Drug use, including marijuana use, is not a victimless crime. Some communities may resist involvement because they think someone else's drug use is not hurting them.

But this kind of not-my-problem thinking is tragically misguided. Ask those same people about secondhand smoke from cigarettes, and they'll quickly acknowledge the harm that befalls nonsmokers. Secondhand smoke is a well-known problem, one that Americans are becoming more unwilling to bear. We need to apply the same common-sense thinking to the even more pernicious secondhand effects of drug use.

Take for instance the disastrous effects of marijuana smoking on driving. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted, "Epidemiology data from . . . traffic arrests and fatalities indicate that after alcohol, marijuana is the most frequently detected psychoactive substance among driving populations."

Marijuana causes drivers to experience decreased car handling performance, increased reaction times, distorted time and distance estimation, sleepiness, impaired motor skills, and lack of concentration.

Driving While Impaired
The extent of the problem of marijuana-impaired driving is startling. One in six (or 600,000) high school students drive under the influence of marijuana, almost as many as drive under the influence of alcohol, according to estimates released in September 2003 by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). A study of motorists pulled over for reckless driving showed that, among those who were not impaired by alcohol, 45 percent tested positive for marijuana.

Those who patrol streets and highways, know that the consequences of marijuana-impaired driving can be tragic. For example, four children and their van driver-nicknamed Smokey by the children for his regular marijuana smoking-died in April 2002 when a Tippy Toes Learning Academy van veered off a freeway and hit a concrete bridge abutment. He was found at the crash scene with marijuana in his pocket.

[leemajors]

I have no problems with smoking it, but driving around while doing so is kinda stupid. Why risk getting caught? Smoke at home.

[tp2021]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are pro weed-driving.

Maybe, or I was joking.

[Blake]

Yeah - smoking weed is harmless and we should just "butt" out.

ahh, I see what you did there.

[Blake]

Maybe, or I was joking.

maybe your post was ridiculous, maybe it wasn't.

what the fuck?

Crookshanks, where did you find that article?

[4chan]

problem, non weed smokers?

[xtremesteven33]

I know people who have been somking and driving for years and have never had a problem with it...Again its not the smartest decision but for alot of people its really not a big deal and doesnt impare thier decision making at all.

[mookie2001]

sorry i dont need an article to tell me high driving is dangerous, driving is dangerous

its like reading an article saying south texas is hot because of global warming, well yes 100% correct and also wrong as shit

im not stupid, i may be dumb but im not stupid, ive been smoking weed for 14 years, driving for 12, drinking for 11. i'll make my own decision on this one

[Crookshanks]

Crookshanks, where did you find that article?

I googled "long-term effects of marijuana" and the first thing that came up was an article from the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

[Leetonidas]

Yeah - smoking weed is harmless and we should just "butt" out. It's the pot smokers who are delusional.
=============================

Significant Health Problems
Smoking marijuana can cause significant health problems. Marijuana contains more than 400 chemicals, of which 60 are cannabinoids. Smoking a marijuana cigarette deposits about three to five times more tar into the lungs than one filtered tobacco cigarette.
Consequently, regular marijuana smokers suffer from many of the same health problems as tobacco smokers, such as chronic coughing and wheezing, chest colds, and chronic bronchitis. In fact, studies show that smoking three to four joints per day causes at least as much harm to the respiratory system as smoking a full pack of cigarettes every day.

Marijuana smoke also contains 50 to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and produces high levels of an enzyme that converts certain hydrocarbons into malignant cells.


Mental Health Problems
In addition, smoking marijuana can lead to increased anxiety, panic attacks, depression, social withdrawal, and other mental health problems, particularly for teens. Research shows that kids aged 12 to 17 who smoke marijuana weekly are three times more likely than nonusers to have suicidal thoughts.

Marijuana use also can cause cognitive impairment, to include such short-term effects as distorted perception, memory loss, and trouble with thinking and problem solving. Students with an average grade of D or below were found to be more than four times as likely to have used marijuana in the past year as youths who reported an average grade of A.

For young people, whose brains are still developing, these effects are particularly problematic and jeopardize their ability to achieve their full potential.

We need to put to rest the thought that there is such a thing as a lone drug user, a person whose habits affect only himself or herself. Drug use, including marijuana use, is not a victimless crime. Some communities may resist involvement because they think someone else's drug use is not hurting them.

But this kind of not-my-problem thinking is tragically misguided. Ask those same people about secondhand smoke from cigarettes, and they'll quickly acknowledge the harm that befalls nonsmokers. Secondhand smoke is a well-known problem, one that Americans are becoming more unwilling to bear. We need to apply the same common-sense thinking to the even more pernicious secondhand effects of drug use.

Take for instance the disastrous effects of marijuana smoking on driving. As the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) noted, "Epidemiology data from . . . traffic arrests and fatalities indicate that after alcohol, marijuana is the most frequently detected psychoactive substance among driving populations."

So give us your credentials since you're the expert on this subject.

[Leetonidas]

you havent yet and I haven't come to a conclusion yet.

Are you high right now? Is that why you don't realize that this is pretty much a yes or no question:



third time: Are you cool because you smoke while driving and your lightweight friends dont?





that took all of 1 minute.

you're an idiot but keep going.

Answer to your question: No, you fucking idiot. Never did I claim to be, only that I know I possess the ability to drive while high and others don't. There's no shame in being a lightweight. Ask ANYONE who smokes weed and they'll tell you they'd much rather be a newb.

And as for your story, nice copypasta especially considering the dude just fell asleep at the wheel and him being high didn't directly cause anyone to die. Anyone can fall asleep at the wheel, moron.

[Leetonidas]

So give us your credentials since you're the expert on this subject.

You have MULTIPLE people in this topic who smoke weed regularly telling you that they've never had trouble doing so and have never gotten into any altercations due to marijuana use while driving. That's pretty credible, unlike some story with all kinds "statistics."

A bunch of potheads are more credible than doctors and police officers? :lmao

[Leetonidas]

B-b-b-but I have credible sources too!

http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/factsmyths/

:rolleyes


Myth: Marijuana is More Damaging to the Lungs Than Tobacco. Marijuana smokers are at a high risk of developing lung cancer, bronchitis, and emphysema.

Fact: Moderate smoking of marijuana appears to pose minimal danger to the lungs. Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains a number of irritants and carcinogens. But marijuana users typically smoke much less often than tobacco smokers, and over time, inhale much less smoke. As a result, the risk of serious lung damage should be lower in marijuana smokers. There have been no reports of lung cancer related solely to marijuana, and in a large study presented to the American Thoracic Society in 2006, even heavy users of smoked marijuana were found not to have any increased risk of lung cancer. Unlike heavy tobacco smokers, heavy marijuana smokers exhibit no obstruction of the lung's small airway. That indicates that people will not develop emphysema from smoking marijuana.

That completely contradicts one of the points in your article, Crookshanks. Yay, I'm right! I provided an article!

[Bukefal]

Fuck you, whiny fag. Never did anyone in here state they were cool for smoking while driving. And if you have such a problem with taking your little 9 month old out then ride the fucking bus.

You would be amazingly surprised, ESPECIALLY IN SAN ANTONIO, how many people are driving around fucked up on Xanax, coke, meth, drunk as shit, or on herion, and you're complaining about people smoking weed and driving?

You need to grow up sir and stop sucking the government's cock because they tell you weed is evil and it kills. That's a bunch of bullshit and you've proved what a retarded little drone you are for swallowing that shit whole.

Smoking while driving is as dangerous as eating a burger while driving, maybe less. And the people who will smoke and drive are they people who KNOW they can handle doing it, because trust me, I have plenty of friends who are lightweights who won't touch a steering wheel when they're blazed.

Now, kindly GTFO out with your anti-weed bullshit.

EDIT: Alright maybe that was a tad harsh, I didn't mean that to be so insulting. All I'm saying is, driving while high =/= retarded fuckstick.

Are you serious? I see the weed has already damaged most of your brain cells :wow

At least it's sourced, unlike the Karen Tandy article you posted.

And she did manage to corral the highly sought after Tommy Chong during her tenure as top watchdog.

That has to count for something, right?

[katyon6th]

I tried driving after smoking once. I was so high and cross eyed I stuck the key inside the airvent thinking it was the ignition. I kept turning the key but the car wouldn't start. I thought my car was broken.

I think Jesus took the wheel that day.

I ran 3 red lights once ... I was driving so fucking slow and my perception was kind of, ummm, bad. I'm pretty sure that was the last time I ever pulled something like that. :oops

I don't think driving under the influence of any type of intoxicant is a good idea ... but then I get postal when I see people doing other dangerous shit while driving, too.

Random fact: 11 people lost their job at my place of employment last week for testing positive for weed ... new ownership is big on random drug testing, apparently. Bummer.

[Leetonidas]

Lesson here: Don't drive your car if you're baked as shit and can't find the ignition.

[mavs>spurs2]

this little notion that it's somehow okay to drive under the influence is beyond retarded. maybe someday a high driver will t-bone your ass and paralyze you for life. i wonder how you'll feel about it then

[Leetonidas]

I'll think the dude can't handle his shit. And if I ever hit someone while high, I hope it's one of you whiny douchefags.

just chill out bro

its gonna be all right....kick back take another toke...chill

[Leetonidas]

Nah it's cool bro, I'm not gonna ever hit someone while driving high because I know what I'm doing. I also think some of you think we get blasted out of our minds and then get behind the wheel. False. We casually toke as we're driving to give us a nice buzz or high. We don't go balls to the wall while driving, that's just stupid.

I believe it's called denial, justification or rationalization. But you'll never believe anything different until something bad happens.

AND - driving while "buzzed" is still driving while impaired - whether you want to believe it or not.

[koriwhat]

smoking while driving is perfectly fine... i see nothing wrong with it and it is nothing close to driving while drunk! i can drive better and more safely then you all while blown. skill motherfuckers!

[koriwhat]

btw, being high doesn't really impair you as much as you all are led to believe by the media and our government as well as all the bs that's been spread to down bud.

shit i can workout blown, drive blown, work blown, swim blown, do computer shit easily blown, work on a car blown.... anything blown!

btw, get over yourself you self-righteous pile of shits.

[xellos88330]

If you choose to drive while experiencing a self induced impairment, you really need to wake up and see what is going on around you. If you want to get high, drunk or whatever, stay at home in your basement or something. Don't endanger the lives of not only yourself and whoever is in the vehicle with you at the time, but everyone else around you.

I know it happens anyways and there isn't really much I can do to stop it. I just find it hard to believe that people can be so convinced of their own immortality that they jeopardize the well being of others to attempt to prove it to themselves.

I have nothing against getting high or drunk or whatever. Where I have a problem is when those actions have the potential of interfering with mine or loved ones' lives.

EDIT: One more thing. Who would you choose to operate a hydraulic car jack or lift while you are working underneath it? Someone high or drunk, or someone who is sober?

[iilluzioN]

there's no basements in SA.

btw, i've experienced 2 accidents in my 13 yrs of driving that i caused... 1) i hydroplaned into some older lady going about 1 mile per hour and actually bounced off her car. haha no damage. 2) i put a cake i made on the top of my ride and drove off... fuckin' accidents!

i've experienced far worse by others who were either SOBER or drunk. 1) drunk driver almost killed me in a head on collision. 2) sober dude decides to take a right turn from the left lane on san pedro and totally slams into my small car with his suburban. 3) some dumb bitch decides to haul ass and run a red light on the access rd of 281 and mulberry clipping my buddy and i and throwing the car into a 360... bitch was sober!

explain you're reasoning again why i am such a horrible driver while blown? i just don't understand, maybe it's the bud clouding my thinking.

[xtremesteven33]

Other than that news article in this thead I have never heard of a driving fatality with the fault being a marijuana user.

Yes pot does affect people who are "lightweights" and does make tham "trip" out, but there are people who can function (hell ive seen people drive better) while smoking weed. Peoples bodies are different and what might be dangerous for one person is not for the other.

Its really that simple.

[balli]

If you choose to drive while experiencing a self induced impairment
Marijuana doesn't impair me. Or my driving ability. You are wrong if you say it does. That's all I can tell you.


I just find it hard to believe that people can be so convinced of their own immortality that they jeopardize the well being of others to attempt to prove it to themselves.
I don't think I'm immortal. I'm sure if I were in a crash, I could be injured or die. Anyway, I'm pretty sure last time I went to the store, I was just getting a half gallon of milk. If you want to say my real motive was cheating death in an attempt to prove to myself I could? Well, go ahead, but it's ridiculous. I'm a fucking hypochondriac for Christ sakes; everything scares me. Not driving high though, because really, I have nothing to be afraid of. Neither does anyone else.


I have nothing against getting high or drunk or whatever. Where I have a problem is when those actions have the potential of interfering with mine or loved ones' lives.
My being behind the wheel of a car, with THC in my brain or not, will never affect you or your loved ones lives. Or anyone's life besides my own. My driving habits are no more dangerous or in any way different as a result of whether or not I've smoked. I'm no more likely to be involved in any sort of a crash. It's not your concern as you have nothing to be concerned about.

So you'd rather be a newb? Are you ashamed of being such a weedsmoking heavyweight?


And as for your story, nice copypasta especially considering the dude just fell asleep at the wheel and him being high didn't directly cause anyone to die. Anyone can fall asleep at the wheel, moron.

Not everyone gets indicted for DUI for simply falling asleep at the wheel.

Why are you getting so butthurt in this thread?

[The Franchise]

Just curious, how many of you have or currently engage in this activity?

I combust hemp daily.

When I was still smoking, I had a job where my partner and I would have to travel from Atlanta to Miami weekly for about 3 years straight. The company would provide a rental car and it was a long drive, so we would get high for 900 miles there and back again. What made it sweet was the company gave us 75 dollars cash for emergencies, so they actually paid for the weed. We also had a company credit card so they paid for our bountiful feasts, and our partying. I miss that job. :depressed

it's really no big deal... you make it out to be a big deal but it isn't. i know people who smoke all damn day and keep up 4.0 gpa's in college, i know lawyers and doctors who smoke, and i know most people have tried smoking. i know your stance is against driving but if you're a good driver to begin with and a seasoned smoker then there really is no problem except the people on the road with you who are more prone to hitting you.

if you got in a car with me while i was blown you'd never even tell a difference in my driving and i'm a damn good driver.

[J.T.]

Driving on weed is easy. Real fucking easy. If you want a challenge, try driving on acid or mushrooms. I drove on these bad ass mushrooms once and was falling down the rabbit hole after like 20 minutes. Shit was dope.

I trip and drive on the reg and it is hands down some of the most non-sexual fun you can have on drugs. My particular vehicle makes you feel like you're in a video game. But if you have the right set of tunes that shit can be magical.

One of my favorite questions is if I'm hanging out with some friends and there happens to be someone there who doesn't know me and we decide to leave and go somewhere else... I'll always insist on driving and most of my friends trust me to drive while tripping, but the new person will always ask me if I'm too fucked up to drive.

Funniest joke I've ever heard.

Wait...what, Mr. Strawman?

I'd think you could find a better case than one where some kid has several different drugs in his system at the time of the accident.

[JamStone]

Didn't read the entire thread...

Haven't smoked in something like 6-7 years, haven't even been around it. But when I was younger, I smoked regularly around the ages of 21-24. Not daily, but almost every weekend when I had it and a few times during the week if I didn't have too much school work. Don't drink too much now either. Pretty much a drink occasionally on the weekends type of person now, not even every weekend though.

I definitely smoked and drove at the same time and a lot. But, I do think there's a difference between getting in the car and smoking a joint or two and being completely baked out of your mind and getting in the car to drive. My friends and I would generally smoke a joint or hit the bowl a few times and then get in the car to wherever we were going, getting fast food, a party, the bar, wherever. But, if we were smoking to get baked, we didn't drive. We'd just order a pizza or something and veg on the couch.

I don't condone driving under the influence of alcohol or weed. But, the two are not the same. Yes, at some point, you zone out on weed, but that doesn't mean the OP meant he does that. He could have, but I didn't read it that way. Smoking a joint while driving while you still got your senses and motor skills isn't much different than having a couple beers and driving. Is it right? No. Should people do it? Not really. But, is reality that there are plenty of people that do? Sure. I'm completely against people driving when they're not in position or state of mind to do so. But, I'm also a realist. It happens. Hopefully, the really baked and really drunk people aren't the ones on the roads. But, you have to understand there will be some that have smoked or drunk a few and gotten behind the wheel.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Ah, maybe I misread the initial post. My bad.

Has anyone been convicted of a DUI solely on Xanax? I'd guess that if it wasn't prescribed yes, but if it was it'd have been thrown out.

[Leetonidas]

i dont really believe you are the pot smoking heavyweight you claim you are. You are too rowdy and butthurt to be a true stoner.

I don't really give a fuck what you think. Also, just because I'm calling you a faggot (which is completely true) doesn't mean I'm "rowdy and butthurt."

Why do you frequent a forum where everyone hates your bitch ass anyway? Are you some kind of glutton for punishment? I guess when you have no friends in real life, any attention is welcome, huh?

And yes, I have a very high tolerance to pot. I wish I didn't. Like I said, I would absolutely LOVE to be a lightweight again.

but if someone takes a double dose of Xanax, knowing the side effects might be "marked drowsiness may occur", then I don't see any reason why they couldn't/wouldn't be charged for a DUI.........not to mention manslaughter charges similar to DWI manslaughter charges.

[Leetonidas]

Also, Xanax is a HELL of a drug. The dude who fell asleep at the wheel? Weed had nothing to do with it. Xanax was the sole cause of that.

[J.T.]

It's just the whole

"I won't take my two year old child to get ice cream because Leetonidas is stoned and on the way to Taco Bell at the same time to get some Fully Loaded nachos."

That gets me. Comparing stoned driving to drunk driving is exactly like PETA trying to compare Manu to Michael Vick for swatting down that bat. Exactly like that. Find whatever "this kid was on weed (and two xanax, p.s. watch while we don't even mention that taking two xanax is equivalent to being blacked out on alcohol)" internet articles you want. Doesn't make your point have any more weight.

The anti-weed people in this thread are going all-in hoping that they'll win the hand on the river.

Ah, maybe I misread the initial post. My bad.

My friend's girlfriend got arrested for driving drunk and on xanax.

Also got slammed for felony possession for the xanax she hadn't taken.

I don't really give a fuck what you think. Also, just because I'm calling you a faggot (which is completely true) doesn't mean I'm "rowdy and butthurt."

I don't think you're rowdy and butthurt because you are calling me a faggot.


Why do you frequent a forum where everyone hates your bitch ass anyway? Are you some kind of glutton for punishment? I guess when you have no friends in real life, any attention is welcome, huh?

I enjoy watching idiots like you get rowdy and butthurt.

It's great entertainment.


And yes, I have a very high tolerance to pot. I wish I didn't. Like I said, I would absolutely LOVE to be a lightweight again.

Since pot doesn't effect as much any more, then I guess that might explain why you are rowdy and butthurt.

[Leetonidas]

Ah yes, because you're saying I'm rowdy and butthurt, it must be true.


Blake is a faggot

Oh lookie! I enjoy idiots like you proving what a faggot they are. And see, I said it right there so it's completely true. Ha! I win, you lose. Faggot.

naw, using faggot twice and "Ha! I win" all in the same post is definitely proof of a big hurt butt.

you've been rowdy from post #1.

Just a quick search will tell you that mary jane does impair motor skills, but nowhere near the levels of alcohol. Saying it has no effect is just as ignorant as people who lump it in with alcohol.

It seems to be the most controversial impairment drug out there but even sites that promote weed and the legalization of it don't advise driving while stoned. Ever.

[mavs>spurs2]

leetonidas just proving he's an idiot, no surprises there

it's not even close to alcohol and shouldn't be lumped into the same conversation as alcohol. alcohol kills people, not bud!

as for motor skills... the only motor skills it fucks with for me is my head and neck considering how many damn times i check my mirrors while blown. i also use 2 things i never use sober.... my right and left blinkers.

well we don't smoke to be sober.

yeah just like porn promoters don't promote to underage teens yet they know they're the ones with the biggest collections out there.

That's an odd analogy.

Smoking marijuna and driving is my favorite pastime. You bitches with your babies on board stickers and a fear of all things you haven't done and will never understand better stay off the road and even off the sidewalks because I'm stoned and I'm driving and therefore, I'm clearly dangerous.

[Soul_Patch]

Lol...why do pot smokers love to try and jutify how THEY are so different and pot doesnt affect THEM the way it does others...so fuckin cliche and trite. Regardless of whether or not you THINK you are pefectly normal driving high, you aren't...plain and simple, it is not scientifically possible, due to what THC does to your brain to make you high, that you would be operating the vehicle the exact same way you would be if you were sober. Dont be stupid, because most of you aren't...i dont know what it is about smoking pot that make people loose all sense of perspective.

Do you really think the arguments about people driving on Rx Meds holds water? i mean, well there are people driving on Rx meds that are far worse than driving while stoned. Well fuck yea, you are right...great conclusions there...Does that make driving high the same as driving sober? Dude i only drive after i drink a 6 pack of beer, these other guys drive after drinking whiskey...im totaly ok right?

cmon, seriously?

Read it or dont...but isnt it painfully obvious any mind altering substance is going to cause you to not think as you would if you werent....mind altered? isnt that the fucking reason you get high? wtf...and i like smoking weed occasionally, but at least be fuckin honest...

Hell yea, thats why i say that driving on LSD is so much safer than driving on pot. i am so ultra paranoid when i am tripping that i actually sit facing the rear window to see better...It is probably the safest way to drive since i get a full perspective of the environment around me....

[InRareForm]

New people or people who panic too easy probably shouldn't drive while smoking weed. But for regulars who smoke and have a confident mindset, there there really is no difference in motor skills. It's all mental. This should be person/usage/ability based.

[lefty]

Smoking Maryjane while fucking is amazing

And that's exactly what I'm going to do! There's nothing I can do about their life choices and their irresponsible behavior - I just hope none of them live here in the Ft. Worth area!

yeah, that would suck if one of them "rolled" up on you in the Ft. Worth area.

i will smoke my joint and blow it toward your car while i see you at the traffic light

People who haven't actually smoked weed at all (let alone smoked while driving, or at least been baked while driving) should really get the fuck out of this thread. Non-user ignorance is quite possibly the most annoying thing to deal with in discussions like these.

It seems like a good two-thirds of non-users just play the "immature" or "stupid" card right off the bat as if somehow smoking weed or doing drugs automatically defaults the user into second-class citizen status. This is bullshit on an unprecedented level. Seriously. Reminds me of the discussions I used to have with my mother about why I smoked weed and wasn't pissed fucking scared about it being oh so illegal. She could never get over the wild card variable about being in the wrong place at the wrong time and getting busted that way.

There is a damn good reason why you don't see any users in this thread agreeing with these square bastards. It's not because weed has fucked up our brains to the point where logic and reason fly out the window in exchange for a few hours of intoxication.

Scoff at me for driving on acid if you want. I wouldn't necessarily say I have a tolerance of acid, but I take it enough to have a pretty good handle on what's going to happen while I'm on it. It's fundamentals really. Put in enough practice and you can become good at anything, including driving on LSD.

But seriously. It's harder to eat nachos and drive than it is to do nothing but drive while stoned. Case closed. Find me real, documented proof that a stoner killed another driver as a result of being too high to drive and maybe I'll apologize for calling you all squares. Maybe.

Mmm, yes...shallow and pedantic...
