Driving while stoned

[exiled247]

i've said ti before, i'll say it again.. and i don't care how much you think it's 'diffrent from driving drunk'

... it's wreckless, it's stupid and it's irresponsible... i'm just waiting for one of you to wreck and seriously injure or kill someone, then come here (assuming you make the bail) telling us about how you're facing 15 years or so for involuntary manslaughter, and asking what you should do... i'll tell you what you should do, your first court date, make sure to smuggle in some vasoline or k-y jelly.. cuz you're going to need it not only when the judge royally ass rapes you, but all your 'new jail buddies' as well...

you can preach all you want, but the chances of people listening to what you say are slim to none... are you telling me that you live a life of no risks? you're just as much of a hazard regardless of what you're doing... would you suggest riding a bicycle instead? or would you say that'd be like riding a bike drunk too?

lol dude, your attitude is the exact kind of attitude that winds people up in prison 'for something that isn't even their fault' think i don't know what i'm talking about? talk to my aunt.. oh wait you can't, she's in prison, finishing up her 15 year sentence for somethign just like what you all talk about... no riding a bike isn't the same either... it's not a ton and a half worth of the steel and sheer mass moving with enough force, even at 20 mph to crush bones.... tell me i'm preaching... but in reality, i'm just trying to spare someone from what my own family has been through... and living life without risks is impossible, it's when you are risking other peoples lives and livelyhood that it becomes a problem with me, and should become a problem with any person that claims to be repsonbile enough to use marijuana, among many other drugs...

i've driven drunk, high, and sober (among other things) and i happen to be way more aware of what's going on when i'm high... maybe it's just me, but i honestly can't see how you can compare it to driving drunk! i guess it would be safe to say that each person is different, so maybe it messes with some people worse than others. i'm not saying that you're an idiot, all i'm saying is that there is a world of difference between the two. the only thing that's common is the fact that you're driving under the influence of something... i've read my local newspaper many times (pretty much everyday) and under all the arrests i never see anyone arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana, nor have i ever seen any kind of manslaughter or accidents where it was the causing factor. maybe it's just luck, but the two wiegh completely different on that scale of things...

I'm not going to say driving while high is not wreckless, but id say driving while high is a lot less wreckless then eating a cheeseburger or talking on the phone while driving.

Marijuana affects everyone differently, for some people it does slow perception. If you honestly believe you're not putting anyone at risk when you drive under the influence of any substance then.. good luck and don't get caught.

most child rapists don't see anything wrong with what they're doing either, does that mean it's not wrong to do?

I absolutely love stoned driving on a warm day with the windows down and the sun shining on me. I don't even really need music. Plus I live in Vermont so there aren't many intersections and annoying things of that nature. You guys like driving stoned?

p.s. I just realized that this probably belongs in the lounge, but who gives a fuck anyway.

Awesome man just awesome I wanna cruise with you now. No talkin just kickin back n cruizin' in the warmth of the sun with THC.

While driving drunk and driving high may not be safe. It's a fact that driving drunk is less safe then driving high.
