Never take chances with the PoPos & weed.

Every group has their own rituals. One of ours is, just before you light up, your keys go into the book safe and you don't get your keys back until the high has worn off 75% and you've eaten.

All the guys in our group are 35 to 45 years old. At first they thought I was a little paranoid, but they know I'm (partialy) right.

Yesterday one guy didn't want to put his keys in the book. He refused. We argued for about 10 minutes, then one guy lights up and passes and then we're all pissed about the key rule.

Needless to say the drama/aggravation before the spark up didn't give us a pleasurable high. Anyway...

After 15 minutes, before the pizza & crap could be delivered the guy who didn't put his keys in the book is leaving. We tried to stop him and he said, "Dude, look at you. You're almost 40 years old and you're acting like a little bitch! Be a man! I've got somewhere I need to be and I'll see you pussies later."

I don't know about the rest of you, but when my high starts to taper off, I can almost instantly kill it by eating junk food. This doesn't work while high, only when it starts to taper off. I don't drive high. I lost one friend to drunk driving and I take it very seriously.

Later that night, I get a phone call. "Tone, I've been arrested for DUI." The fucked deserved it. He got pulled over about 4 blocks from my driveway. I went to post bail this morning (didn't go last night because he called me a pussy) and his wife already got a lawyer.

DUI = Driving Under the Influence Influence can be weed, vallium, sleeping pills, beer, etc.

I talked to his wife, she said the cop pulled him over for running a stop sign. When pulled over, the cop said he smelled marijuana. The cop asked to search, my friend said yes, cop found nothing. Did a field sobriety test and he failed miserably. He blew a perfect 0.0 but because he could not walk straight or communicate properly he was arrested for DUI.

This changes things in our group considerably.

A: Living in California, the state with the most fucked up laws, I will not allow the gathering at my office any more. In CA if you get drunk at a friends house, and you get into an accident, the friend who hosted can be liable. Don't know if the same thing works for weed, but not going to take any chances. Sure we're all friends but that can change in a second.

B: The key rule will be strictly enforced.

C: Fuck I'm high right now. Fucking Cheez-It crackers are awesome.

Part of me is glad he got pulled over. If he was high enough to run a stop sign in my neighborhood (lots of cops), maybe it saved his life or the life of somewon else.

Why does Being safe make you a pussy? I've been called a pussy all my life, because I was always careful. I'd rather be a pussy then get used like on in jail/prison.

i must need to be stoned to understand this entry.:toilet_claw:

I'd rather be safe then sorry. The real stealthy tokers never get caught. :)

When I buy weed (with my recomendation) I keep it in the trunk, my cards and doctors written recomendation in my pocket and I obey all traffic laws. I might just speed a little not to look to careful, but I'm really careful.

Now that I found out deliveries are available, even better. Just like in "Half Baked", knock at the door and nothing to worry about.

After I smoke, I wait until high wears off, a little visine, a little cologne, wash my face, comb my hair, a few crackers to help wear off the high and I'm good as new.

I don't mess around.

i drive high pretty often.

yea same here

I ripped the hell out of a 6footer and then had to move out of my house right afterwards, i felt like i got high for the first time again that shit was crazy

well there is this guzeebo (sp?) at this harbor that I like to go and smoke at when its dark and that place is so chill especially when your hittn' the blunt or your piece. Its wonderful to go and get stoned then just chill.

I drive better high. I'm an angry road-raging maniac while sober. At least when I'm high I'm trying to be as safe as possible.

I agree with you man its always better to be safe then sorry, even though i feel i have mastered driving while high and have been pulled over and given a warning for speeding (32 in a 30) while high i dont take chances. Everyone has to wear their seatbelt once in the car, all weed paraphanalia ( that looks wrong ) goes in a small locked box in the trunk and everyone must apply a couple drops of visine before we leave the driveway, thats only if we have to leave before the high wears off I usually wait about 2-3 hrs before leaving anywere when i get high. I worked hard for my Drivers License and i dont plan on loosing it cuz i got fucked up.

Sounds to me that he was more than just "on marijuana". I have yet to see any of my friends or family I have smoked with not be able to handle themselves for the most part. The angry, ornery behavior could have been from other drugs, or a shitty even that happened to him recently.

I guess if you were smoking hash oil then that would be powerful enough...but jeeze that sucks, and I am sure he learned his lesson.

damn some of yall need to start smoking better weed. lol i told my mom and dad i smoke a long time ago. they dont care. i walk into my house with red eye like a motherfucker and they dont care. no visine, no cologne nothing. its awesome.

and because they know im smart, and i know what the fuck im doing. i love t hat about my parents.

sry guys the dosha has warped my brain tunnels right now.

The guy was being an ass and got a dose of instant karma.

I don't drive high. I did when I was a lot younger, but I don't now. And I don't believe people who say they can drvie just fine when high. Weed definitely alters your sense of time/space/distance, and it slows your reaction time, and that makes driving unsafe.

Just a few days ago I was going down the road and come up on some ass who is driving way under the limit. There's a green light ahead, and I want to make it, but this guy is just crawling along and we catch the red. At the light I realize it is not some old dude, it's four young guys. The light turns green, and we enter a semi-confusing construction zone where they have temporarily moved two left-turn lanes over from where they used to be. Instead of picking one or the other, he coasts right down the middle for a ways at super slow speed, so now he is blocking two lanes of traffic, not just one. At some point he realized he is in the middle of two lanes and pulled into the right one. At the next light the left lane is nearly empty, and the one he is in is not moving and cars start passing by in the left. At some point he decides he is going to pop into that left lane and it is right in front of someone who has to jam on his brakes! That freaks him out, so he jerks back and nearly hits another car! Now both lanes are moving, and while he's going around the left turn he drifts from his lane back into the other one, again! Now we are on a three lane road, he's still drifting along under the limit, and I decide I want to get around this bastard, so I pull into the lane to his right, and as I pass by I keep a good eye on him. All four of them looked totally blazed, and the front passenger was crouched down smoking as I went by! Who knows what else they had going on --- maybe the driver was drunk too, so maybe it wasn't just weed. But I remember from years ago things like stopping at a stop sign then just waiting and waitng, wondring when the light would change, then realizing, "Oh shit, this isn't a light, it's never going to change!" Things like that are not safe.

Cannabis effects people differently, there's a youtube video about smoking and driving done by the british and it said 1 spliff did not sufficiently impair ones motor skills when driving. I prefer to smoke and walk though, i love my high walks, praise Jah, i do.

Before we found a house to smoke at, me and my friends would always hot box and drive around hitting blunts. I know some people may call bullsh!t but I think I drive just as well stoned. I'd much prefer smoking at a house though, or even in a park or something, just cause I feel waaay less paranoid.

I absolutely do not approve of driving stoned, but I do have some stories from long ago when I used to drive around stoned. One time my brother and I were driving from San Diego to Humboldt, and we held off smoking until we came off the Grapevine hill down into the San Joaquin valley. From there, it's a couple hundred miles on I5, straight as a ruler, so pretty easy to drive stoned. As soon as we get off the hill, we spark up the bong and pass it back and forth a few times. After awhile, I start seeing all these orchards and other agriculture I don't remember from that stretch of 5. After awhile longer, we come to a trafiic light! Where the fuck are we? We are supposed to be on the biggest, longest, straightest, easiest freeway in all of California! Somehow we had got off on old highway 99 instead of staying on 5. Fortunately, they go pretty much the same way, and we cut back over near Sacramento.

PUSSY:rambo:

LOL @ your rituals, yup your a PUSSY

Well if thems your rules, then thems your rules. I guess if people are hanging out w you to smoke they know that is what is required and if they refuse to comply then dont smoke w them.
Personally, I been smoking for over 20 years and am very careful but I'm also a responsible grownup & know when I can & can't drive. If I feel like it I drive high sometimes and maintain just fine tyvm. :)

Just because you can't drive high, doesn't mean no one else can either. :hippy:

One thing about driving under any circumstances is that you could be pulled over or get into an accident, whether you are high or not. You could just make a mistake or it could be the other driver's fault. But if you are high or have weed on you, it will turn into a big deal. If someone gets injured, and you are high or have weed on you, you stand a good chance of serious trouble, whether it's your fault or not.

yeah, but you can't live your life all paranoid like that. Or I cant anyhow.
A tree could fall on my house and cops could find my dope in the course of diggin me out of the rubble.

I've been pulled over high/w weed in the car. Cops had no reason to suspect anything, I got my warning and moved on.

Hide your weed. Dont let yourself or your vehicle reek of weed. Don't be a dumbass. Be polite to the cops and get the hell out of there and most likely you will be ok.

Your an idiot if you think you drive better when your high. I know what I am like when I am high, and there is no way I want to be on the road with me when I am high.

I don't drive while high because I know I drive very slow because it feels like I'm actually going too fast. Then I get paranoid because I feel like people can tell that I'm driving slow because I'm stoned, and every cop car I pass makes my heart race. I'd rather smoke and hang out for a while letting my buzz mellow down a bit instead of ruining my high with that scene. I've known friends who drive for shit when stoned and others who drive normally. I'm one of the ones who just can't pull it off so I choose to play it safe.

Depends on what kind of weed you get and how much you smoke. A debilitating indica will be harder to drive on than a nice uplifting sativa. Or if you're so high you're hearing and seeing shit... not a good idea to drive. Being drunk+high is not a good idea either.

I personally drive a lot and don't mind lighting up while on long stretches of interstate at night. I smoke a strain that gives me a really alert, clear headed high. As long as you don't overdo it you'll be ok, and you can't be conspicuous about it.

Maybe the guys were asian

If you go by a set of rules I see no problem with that. If others do not want to follow those rules...fuck um.

I hope you do not keep getting that nimrod high. He clearly has no judgement or respect for you.

Keep your rules and if others do not want to follow them then you do not need to be smoking with them.

Your friend should drive high more often, that way he can get used to it and not run stop signs..
