Driving a Car

[austinpowers]

Have you ever driven a car? Have you ever driven a car......on weeed?
I just wanna know if the gvt. is just giving us b.s. about driving stoned. Is it really that dangerous? I've done it before, and it doesn't seem to be that hard, even my freinds with me who werent stoned said i did fine. Can you get a D.U.I. if you get caught?

I've done it plenty of times without any difficulty. You'll probably drive really slowly, which is okay. Navigation can be hard, just pack your car full of buddies to help you with that. In a foreign city, I managed to find a perkins several miles away from where I blazed a bowl in a nice gravity bong pretty much navigating by myself. Car had a mean slipping clutch too.

Well for me I either have to drive sober or totally stoned, cuz like if Iâ??m just a little high then I always get all freaked that Iâ??m going to crash and shit. Dunno if that makes sense but basically if youâ??re going to smoke and drive then you better be stoned n shit. At least thatâ??s what works for me.

Oh man, I do everything high. It helps me focus, especially in college... But anyways, yeah herb and driving is *not* a danger unless your absolutely toasted, ya know? Even then, you can't even compare it to drunk driving, its much more like driving without enough sleep. Absolutely totally different.

I actually really enjoy driving while high, but thats mostly because I drive at night when no one else is on the road. I find it very relaxing.

As far as learning to drive stoned, its not that big of a deal. Just take small steps and get used to it though. Smoke a bowl, wait a while so you come down a bit, and then drive. Thats how I did it. Now Im completly comfortable smoking bowls and getting into a car right after. I find no matter how high I am, as soon as I step into that drivers side, I instantly am focus on driving, and all is safe.

Just a suggestion though, don't drive in rush hour traffic when high. It just plain sucks and ruins the enjoyable part of driving.

Driving high isn't hard at all. Those who say marijuana impairs judgement and therefore impairs driving ablilities have never driven while high. I believe I actually drive safer while high... I stay a consistant 3-5mph over the limit (driving the limit is pretty suspicious in America for all you people in China or whereever else going over means death or whatever), use signals at all times, all the while playing trance/rap/metal CDs about 10x louder than my speakers should be able to handle.

And it's FUN!

Yes it does do something, it buggers up your driving, although you wont think it has. Weed is a depressant, ie - it slows brain activity, much slower reactions. Secondly it gives you extra confidence, so you will drive faster, take more risks etc. Don't drive while stoned, even if you don't care about yourself, try to think about other people who you might kill.

lol speak for yourself. I drive slower than when I'm sober, and outside observers agree that I am generally more alert and careful when driving high than when not. And weed technically isn't a depressant... hmmm, sounds like you're describing the effects of alcohol.

Hmm.. I mean, if you've had a little smoke, and you've got a slight buzz going on, and you're confident enoguh with your 'stonedness', then it might be okay to drive, but I wouldn't recommend it..

If you are really stoned, then I definately, definately, DEFINATELY wouldn't recommend driving.. Driving while fucked up on weed is as dangerous as driving while drunk.. Just don't do it man, unless you enjoy being dead.. but i guess im just talking about myself.. everyone is different!
