old. but i suppose worth a repost.

and agreeable in my experience stoned i would be more paranoid cause weed makes me overanalyze things

so it would make me a better driver then on booze. however it could be bad for me at least cause i might think a little too much when driving on weed.

"am i going to fast or to slow? wait what was the speed limit 45 or 35? i forgot. maybe i shoudl go with the flow of traffic. wait how can i trust traffic. ok left turn that car is far away enough for me to make the turn safley right? ohhhhh wait i might have stoped to think about it too much and now the time limit is up and i have to wait? uhmmmm no i can still make it?"

I drive high (stoned) all the time, often I find myself driving the speed-limit. Also every car on the shoulder is an unmarked cop car.

And this is why stoners are generally disliked by society. LEgalize marihuanas legalize marihuanas derp herp

You're pretty much the least rational person on this site, shut the fuck up.

Look, it's trying to be meaningful!

Driving under the influence of anything is dangerous. Saying that you are a better driver while high is flat out ignorant. Though I used to drive high I'm not proud of it in any way. It did make me very cautious and I followed the speed limit more, but sometimes if I was really stoned I would zone out and start to drive slower and slower. God I hated being the DD whenever me and my friends used to get high all the time.

There's a difference between getting high and getting stoned out of your gourd. Have a little restraint with your substance use- or hell maybe you just need to get stronger base behind your thoughts. Someone's a little easily influence eh? No driving on adderall too right? GTFO

I'm sorry, you lost me with your retarded train of thought. Would you like to reiterate that so I may have something intelligent to respond to?

I'm saying that it sounds like when you smoked you're someone who liked to get so stoned it impaired there motor skills. Someone who has no self control. Someone who is a horrible representation of what drugs actually do to you because you're too stupid to curb your consumption... OR you're someone who is easily influenced by physical stimuli. OR you're someone who's allergic to THC in someway. I'm going to bank on the first two suggestion though. I don't even smoke but I tend to feel more comfortable with people who are mildly 'stoned' than not as they always seem to drive safer based on experience. Just look at the amount of people who get into accidents sober vs. high.

lol? What the hell? Granted, this doesn't prove anything, it certainly opens the door for further research. Also, have you ever been high? Its ridiculous to think that Marijuana is a harmful drug.

Calling it harmless is not right either; as all drugs are harmful depending on quantity. But that is arguing semantics I guess.

I was a teenager in high school, of course I smoked myself stupid sometimes. All I was saying was that if you are not sober, you're more likely to fuck up. You're definition of buzzed is always going to be different than someone else because it depends on your tolerance level, weight, height, etc.

I think he meant that the negative effects are far outweighed by the positive ones.

Nice, you found it.
There is another one.

That's you not being able to focus.

This demonstrates why people can tell others what to do and get away with it.
Because some people don't have the capabilities to safely make the decision for themselves. They group what are essentially two different experiences together, just because someone did it before them.
That is a horrible addiction in itself on this planet.

I'd trust my driving stoned over sober any day of the week. at least stoned i'm not in a hurry trying to get places and taking risks i shouldn't be. When baked, i stop giving a fuck and cruise the speed limit, just happy to be driving. Driving under the influence of any substance is a privilege that your license affords you, and if you do something retarded, you lose it.

Missing the point by incredibly unfathomable proportions.

You and Om should stop sucking each other's dicks.

[The Desperate Chairman]

Acting with less thinking (alcohol) vs. thinking with less acting (weed). Which drug is safer to be driving under the influence should be obvious. But that doesn't mean driving while high can't be dangerous too. The thought of someone cruising around absolutely ripped is almost as concerning as drunk driving. I admit that I've done it, I've seen others do it, and it's risky. Sometimes that shit sucks you so deep into yourself that you forget to pay attention to what's going on on the outside. I've seen baked drivers drive on the wrong side of the road, ignore people at crosswalks, and make alot of other mistakes that they're lucky didn't turn out to be worse. It's just common sense. Anyone should know damn well when they've smoked too much, drank too much, etc. Don't be an asshole.

You failed to see the simple security in being peaceful and not having to be told what to do because you're too stupid to not get yourself killed.

Of course you could do it with marijuana.

Unless you think marijuana or "people" are indestructible forms of perfection, in the physical sense.

Ate advocates driving under the influence.
He is a profound scholar.
Everyone should believe everything he says.
Screw logic when you have faith and ego.

lol. I think its ignorant to assume that how you feel and behave is exactly how everyone else feels and behaves, while under the influence of pot. I used to think like that, too. I used to think that everyone should smoke pot because it works so well for me. However, as I got older I realized how dumb this assertion was since pot doesn't work for everyone. I've met people who can do anything high and are actually better while under the influence. I've also met people who can't even walk after they smoke.

I guess the point of the story is that since the effects of marijuana are relative to the individual, it should literally be up to the individual to decide whether or not he/she is better at driving when high. In my particular case, since I smoke so much, driving sober or high makes absolutely no difference for me. I am neither better or worse.

Also, did you really DD when all you guys did was smoke? That is quite an unusual action that you don't hear every day. Oh well. Whatever works for you guys. Sucks that you can't drive high, though. I love being able to get high and still drive. I only wish it were like that for booze.

That's interesting because I completely understood both of you guys.

Once again, this is all relative to the individual. I can smoke 10 bowls in a row and never get sucked too deep into my own thoughts. I haven't been that way since I was 18. Not saying everyone is like that. I'm simply saying that its entirely dependent on the individual. I know this because marijuana has affected me in both ways. When I first started, there was no way I could drive because it impaired me too much. Now, I'm so used to smoking, it doesn't even phase me.

Is it any better than what you advocate? You're advocating laws that coerce people into driving while not high. This is just as bad as advocating laws that encourage people to drive high. At the end of the day, its still imposing your will on to others who may not be affected in the same way you are.

So, shouldn't we have laws that neither discourage or encourage the consumption of pot? Shouldn't that be left up to the individual's discretion? Shouldn't we be advocating free thought over one particular mindset? Shouldn't we teach others to take responsibility for their own problems so that they can figure out how to solve them instead of simply guiding them on everything?

1) I didn't say that.

And.

2) If you did that, you'd probably end up making your situation safer for everybody.

Because every single individual in the world is inherently responsible, reasonable, empathetic and can be trusted, amirite?
Drink driving laws, and the like didn't exist at one point. Food for thought.

Also, ate is a bumbling idiot who can't interpret a sarcastic statement about himself.

So, do you really think that laws are going to protect society from drunk drivers? Probably not, as it never does. People will drink and drive regardless.

A drunk driver who gets raped with charges, court dates, fines/time, suspensions and shitload of driving conditions won't be doing it again. I know there are some who do it over and over again, those idiots are the exception.

I don't think such a thing could be measured, though. I mean, sure some people might be deterred from doing it again, but lets be real. We're human beings. Just because someone tells us not to do it, doesn't mean we won't do it, even if we continuously suffer the consequences. Its irrational to drive drunk just as it is irrational to drink poison, yet most people who drink will ignore this fact and continue to slash years off their lives. I just think that there are certain laws that work and then there are others that really don't do anything at all. Drug laws don't really do a whole lot, except waste time and money. Whether they exist or not, people are going to do it, just as they always have. There are very few people whom I've met who don't do drugs because they're illegal. Most either don't do it because they don't like them or they do and don't really care about the laws.
