do you drive when stoned

like the title of the thread says: do you drive when stoned? I know a lot of people who won't and regard it as an inhibitor in the same way as alcohol... i think that's probably the smartest thing to do, but (being an idiot) i always drive when stoned. i never have a problem, but i do drive for a living (pizza delivery)... i find weed just makes you turn up the music louder and drive slower.

everyone have a good day!

 

i dont,, it makes me,, well i dunno i guess paranoid behind the wheel..

its not that it inhibits my driving skills or that im afraid of gettin pulled over,,i just dont like to drive stoned,, i get anxious..

 

I only do it if I have to. I try to avoid it if I can.

 

nah i dont

,,,, therefore i dont drive...

 

I do...

 

i dont have my lisence yet but even if i did i wouldnt drive while stoned, theres 2 things i dont like about it

1. death by accident (because of impaired driving)
2. DUI

 

Weed seems to make me a better driver because I'm more relaxed, I've crossed the United States driving stoned the whole way twice, never had any close calls or such. I've been driving stoned for years, the only wrecks or tickets I've ever gotten have been when I was sober...

 

That must have been an awesome experience...I'd love to do something like that one day, and also to go backpacking for several months across europe, with some great weed at hand

 

Yeah, when im stoned, and i get in my car, i feel like im getting ready for a super sweet video game. So when Im driving Im totally focused and I drive 5X better (as if I playing a game).

 

^ anyone who thinks they drive better while stoned is an idiot, you are still IMPAIRED your judgement is impaired so how the fuck could u possibly drive better?

i've driven stoned too many times to count, and i would consider myself an above average driver, so i know that when i am high i am not in the same league as being sober.

 

i havn't before but my bro drives 24/7 stoned but he has been for many many years and went through like 4 or 5 cars doing so but now he has a Pontiac Firebird and he is a pro at it now.

P.S. everytime he visits we cruise and smoke.

 

um, excuse you, but I am a MUCH better driver when I'm high. When I'm sober, I get real jerky and I suck at turning corners, let alone parking, but when I'm high, I'm just much more calmed down and relaxed, and driving just seems to come much more naturally to me that way. as stonerbill oh-so-helpfully once told me, don't judge the world based on your own condition.

 

i actually just read this article. it's much safer to drive stoned then to drive drunk. it said that was because you realize your impaired when your stoned, so you go slower, and your much more careful. when your drunk you don't realize just how drunk you are.

 

i drive 50,000 miles a year an have for the last 15 years,,..

man ,, i wouldnt wanna meet a carload of baked 16 year olds on these curves up in here..

IMHO,, kids shouldnt be gettin baked an drivin around fer shits an giggles..i can tell ya from experiance,,, sooner or later someone gets hurt..

luv n lite..

 

I'm not gonna lie, I LOVE space cruising. I always feel like im in some driving movie from liek the seventies, and everything is just so chill. I wouldn't say that I'm a better driver when i'm stoned, but i definitely feel as though i am a more cautious driver. i just feel like I can get a grasp on everything goin on around me. I also just like driving alone when i'm stoned just cause i feel its really good for introspection.

 

the first few times I drove stoned, wasa because I had to, and I hated it, cause it was scarey as hell.
But after learning to deal with it, im actualy really good at driving stoned, and have been in close situations before (not my fault) like animals running out into the street and other stupid things happening, but I have always been able to swerve and avoid them.
While I dont think I drive any better high, I dont think I drive any worse..
but ALL of my tickets have been while I WASNT high.

Thing is tho, all of the tickets I got (with the except one my very first ticket, which was about 7 years ago) have been for speeding.
Normaly when im not high, I drive about 10 to 15 MPH over the speed limit usualy (sometimes more)
but when I am high, I usualy drive 5 under the speed limit.. and thats not from being scared of the Po-Pos, but rather from just being so relaxed behind the wheel, lol.

 

theres another reason i dont drive stoned,, i almost always drive 10 miles above the limit,, an thats slow around here for most..

im not sayin experianced drivers,, im talkin the 16 to,, say 19 crowd,.. ridin around smokin up in a car load on account they got knowhere else to go..shit happens,, an i dont wanna be involved..

love n lite..

 

oh an if ya was drivin 5 under at 23 here..

youd be flipped off cussed then eventually someone would call the law on yer tag,, err ya local law dog would be goin what the fucks up with this kid..
an the blue lights would flash..


5 under an stoned..

wouldnt fly here..

 

Driving stoned is way safer then driving drunk. So many people i know do it. I do it as well for two years now and don't find anything wrong with it. I'd rather drive stoned then straight. Driving drunk is really stupid not driving stoned. Once we got snaped smoking weed by the police and got told to drive home, so i gues nothing is wrong with driving stoned!!

 

I drove a little ways to ponderosa once, while high. No biggie.
