Driving while high!

[Mrcoilover]

You make a good point. I will put it to rest if they will. No hard feelings
towards kbsacker or RCer. It is kinda cool putting things out like that
and discussing them. Can't we all just get along?

[Mrcoilover]

Just to let yall know. I don't be getting like mad high while I'm driving.
I just like to ride and relax. I'm not going to put myself at risk and others. I do it responsibly. Maybe a hit or 2. Peace out. There is too
much hatred in the world today already. I will try not to add to it.
Yall be cool now.

are dirty in his eyes, now what! God looks at me the same way
he looks at you, in disgust. Know your role.:smoka: :bandit: :smoker2: :smoker: :smoka: :bandit: :bandit: :bonghitte :bonghitte :bandit: :smoka: :smoker: :smoker2:

No need to get pissed at me.
I was only posting what i thought.
Having a wife that is a nurse that has to deal with the effects of car smashes etc after smoking and drinking makes me have to say something.
Not here to have a flame war with you.
I apologize if my remarks offended you.

okay first of all marijuana is NOTHING like drinking alcohol, it doesn't slow your senses. After smoking marijuana you're more aware of things, you analyze every little thing that can happen... I have posted a quote from the department of health canada and it said in recent studies they have discovered that smoking marijuana doesn't affect your driving much (check in the "Legalize Marijuana" thread)

2nd thing: marijuana doesn't have any chemicals in it, you take the plant, you roll it and you smoke it.... no process or anything where chemicals are added

3rd thing: I respect all your opinions but you guys really shouldn't comment on what you don't know. If you say you have never smoked marijuana but you are flaming somebody for doing it, then you really have no experience with it, so how could you possibly know? If you yourself have never smoked marijuana and drived, please don't comment on it, or tell people not to do it, cause you don't know! If you do, atleast back yourself up with facts, everybody has been saying "You're bad for blazing and driving!", that's great that that's your opinion but show me a fact that prooves that it's really bad

I wanna see 1 article from a known news source (ex. CNN) that says that somebody died in a car crash as a direct result of smoking marijuana.... I can almost gaurantee you won't find one

smoking marijuana and drinking then driving is even dumber than just drinking and driving but just 1 article where is says a person was only on marijuana and they died in a car crash, or killed somebody else.

Don't flame me, just show me 1 article backing up your opinions

[primera man]

I'm not going to waste time bringing up facts and articles. As someone who does smoke it(myself) for years, you're just starting and are speaking more from the experience or lack thereof, that you've gone through.

Now, with that said, Marijuana does affect driving. How so you ask? One, Marijuana gives it's effects by depriving your brain of oxygen. Not to the extent that you're going to die, just to get that "high". Now, how does this translate to driving, simple, your reaction time is impaired. Your mind is not more active because of it, it's your perception of it. I try not to be behind the wheel when I am impaired by either alcohol or weed, but the times that I have been, I will honestly say that there were times where I couldn't even remember how the hell I got home, which just happens to be the same reaction when you do something stupid like hitting another car or what have you.

Now you wanna go around and say legalize it and stuff, hey I'm all for it. Tired of having to kop the shit my way as opposed to going to the local store and buying it. But don't go around "claiming" that it is better to drive high than drunk. Both of those substances do the same things in a different manner. And both can get you killed when you use them, either by a little or a lot. They both impair you reaction time(prove me wrong) and both impair your ability to make split second decisions.

Thank you, that's my .02.

itz all good man. I respect your reply. I am responsible about my
blazing. ha ha .:smoker2:

Primera Man i found a fault in that article it said and i quote "Scientific analysis showed Graeme Bignell had enough THC in his blood to indicate he would have smoked one joint three to four hours before the crash."

The high wears off in around 2 hours
plus the kid was only 16, he might of been a really bad driver, since he just got his licence

and DVS, if the ministry of health in Canada say that driving drunk is a 100 times worse than driving high... I believe them, i mean they're the freakin government and they say this, and they've done research.

Plus I've done it a couple times... but I've NEVER driven drunk, once i checked to see if it was really bad with alcohol so i just drove around the street slowly and i was all over the road.... so i'll never do it

I still agree that when they decriminalize marijuana they should implement driving high laws just because it's not the same as driving normal... it isn't the same, so to some people it's a shock, but it's only different from driving normal not much worse, so it can be done with relative safety... that's all i'm sayin, you can do it and i won't think you're an idiot for doing it, but if you're drinkin and driving i'll thing you're a dumbass idiot

i have respect for all your opinions but this is mine

[Mrcoilover]

everybody thought I was a crazy monster on tha road running over
everybody. Man if they only knew. And 2nd, shoot my high only lasts
me about a hour if that. You gotta be blazin some of dat good shit and a lot of it to really impair you judgement. Me and you should role out
sometime. ha ha . I see what they are saying though, but unless you do
do it u can't really know what it does to ya. Drugs have a different effect on different people. hollaback.

[gang$tarr]

yeah plus marijuana isn't really drug in my opinion, it's a herb ya take the plant and you smoke it... what's simpler than that? NO additives or chemicals or nothin... all natural, God's candy

you're only blazed for an hour!! man that's short, i'm always 2 hours... and if you don't smoke alot then it doesn't alter your perseption at all, your body just feels more relaxed (and tired)

No comment on the driving issue, but Gan$tarr, you talk of it not affecting your senses as in;slowing you down and impairing some senses? I'm just asking you a question, is it a Stimulant or Depressant or other? I have forgotten and you sound like somebody who would know.
