 I drive stoned all the time. I won't ever consider driving drunk. I'd rather take ten hours to drive two blocks than plough through two stop signs killing either myself or someone else. Weed also eliminates road rage. When someone cuts you off, you just assume that person's been drinking and say "fuck it".

Differences in speed cause a lot of accidents. A driver who's going the limit comes upon someone driving too slowly and - ka-bam!

I agree that going too slow is JUST as bad...but I've never even known a person who's smoked up then driven to be a slow driver. However, a person who is driving the speed limit that rear ends someone who is going under it is really the one to blame - not the slow driver. If you rear end someone (who doesn't suddenly cut you off), you're driving too close and you're the one that is being a careless. | |

I'm not talking about tailgating. I'm talking about people who are driving well below the limit - possibly at night, when it's harder to judge distance. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them.

Coming up to someone who is driving painfully slow shouldn't be a problem unless you're either driving too fast or not paying attention as you approach - even at night. Hey, I'm not trying to defend slow-ass drivers, I think they are major hazards. I'm just saying a rear end accident is almost 99% of the time the fault of the driver in the back. | |

Genesia said: Poiple said: I actually was going to comment, but decided not to and accidentally hit the "Post response" button anyway (I was about to fall asleep at the keyboard). But, I tend to agree with you about the two not being comparable. I've ridden with someone who had just smoked (as I had myself) and I believe it makes you much more alert (almost to the point of paranoia) and much more deliberate, whereas alcohol obviously slows your responses. And, of course, being on drugs, this would be a perfectly objective observation. But you have to have something to compare it to . . . . you can't contrast the with and without otherwise. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. | |

Driving stoned made me more aware of how dangerous driving is. I don't smoke anymore, but I still go the speed limit and don't ever drive aggressively.
Not that I recommend driving stoned, especially passing joints around with friends (that's just partying while driving), but I don't think driving stoned is nearly as dangerous as driving drunk. And it totally depends on the driver. Some sober drivers are worse than some drunk drivers. My Legacy

I cannot buy an argument that someone impaired on ANYTHING can drive "just fine". true, though sober drivers can be "impaired" with their obliviousness and/or aggression. This can be as dangerous as being drunk or on drugs. The increased awareness that pot gave me of the dangers of driving made me slow down & drive more carefully. To me it was a trade off, as pot was probably also impaired me in some ways. But having not had an accident in 20 years [knock on wood], something is working. [Edited 5/5/10 11:18am] My Legacy

5.4.4 Effects of cannabis on on-road driving
It is often remarked that the activity most often cited as dangerous when performed under the influence of recreational drugs - motor vehicle driving - is one of the least studied. Given the concern about the safety of the experimental subject in drug and driving experimentation, it is understandable that such studies have been relatively uncommon. A review by Nichols (1971) found that there were no well controlled observations of the effects of cannabis on driving performance. This situation changed with research commissioned by the Canadian Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical use of Drugs. A comprehensive report published by Hansteen et al (1976) showed that a moderate dose of alcohol (approximately 0.07 BAC) or THC (5.9mg) impaired driving on a traffic-free course (as measured by the number of times the lane-defining cones ("witch's hats") were struck). Driving speed was decreased after cannabis but not after alcohol use. Smiley et al (1975), using a different type of course, found that reaction time to signal stimuli was increased with the combination of cannabis and alcohol. Klonoff (1974) studied driving on a closed course, and in city traffic, after a placebo and two doses of smoked cannabis (4.9mg and 8.4mg THC). Closed course driving was scored by the number of cones hit on a precisely laid out path. Driving in traffic was scored by observation of eleven categories of driving skill, similar to those used in some driving tests. Driving on the closed course was impaired by both doses, as indicated by a higher proportion of subjects whose performance declined after cannabis use. Driving in traffic, however, while showing a trend toward poorer performance, was not significantly affected, and the effects of cannabis were much more variable. Sutton (1983) also found that cannabis had little effect on actual driving performance. Peck et al (1986) recorded performance on a range of driving tasks on a closed circuit on four occasions after the administration of placebo, up to 19mg of smoked THC, 0.84g/kg of alcohol, and the combination of both drugs. On most individual and derived composite measures, cannabis impaired performance. This study is important in that there was a high degree of concordance between objective performance measures (e.g. number of traffic markers hit during manoeuvres), subjective estimates of performance by the drivers, and ratings by police observers. However, the conclusion reached was that the effects of cannabis on driving performance were somewhat less than those of alcohol. Robbe and O'Hanlon (1993), have reported the methodology, but not the detailed results, of a study of driving in traffic. Their brief report suggests that their results also indicated little impairment of actual driving skills after cannabis. They speculated that since drivers were aware of their intoxication, they had successfully attempted to counter the impairment. Overall, the effects of cannabis use on on-road driving have been smaller than the comparable effects of intoxicating doses of alcohol in the same settings (Smiley, 1986). The most consistent cannabis effect has been that drivers reduce their risk by slowing down; a finding that contrasts with the consistent finding that subjects typically increase their speed when intoxicated with alcohol. It is probably this compensatory behaviour by cannabis users that explains the comparatively small effects of cannabis intoxication in on road studies. For ethical reasons such studies have not been able to adequately test the response of cannabis intoxicated drivers to situations that require emergency decision, in which there is less opportunity to compensate for impairment. The few studies which have attempted to simulate this situation (e.g. by using subsidiary reaction tasks in addition to driving) have shown that cannabis intoxication impairs emergency decision-making (Smiley, 1986). http://www.druglibrary.or...al/ch5.htm the problem with most marijuana studies is that the acute effects are often subjective and vary from person to person...I think you'll find that any published study of worth will admit this...how often a person uses & their familiarity of the 'high' has to be accounted for as well...

[Thanks to dcboy2113@yahoo.com for correcting these lyrics] I love that song! Been a huge Icecube fan since day one, since the days of the Stereo Cru and CIA and very early NWA stuff. Unlike most rappers who became rich and famous, Icecube never really lost his fire and talent.I really like his later songs, too, which can´t be said of most rappers these days. But, despite his obvious fondness of MJ, he doesn´t come across like a weedsmoker at all. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

Have you ever even been in a car with someone that smokes up regularly? I dunno about in the US, but here in Canada there are A LOT of people who smoke up - openly because it's just not a big deal. I don't do it myself...but I'm definitely surrounded by it - from my boss to several family members. And I can tell you right now that none of them fit into the pot head stereotype that you probably think users are. And I guess you don't drive while taking prescription drugs or get in a car with someone that is taking prescription drugs either, considering a lot of them say right in the labels that it “may impair your driving”. | |

I'm not for banning alcohol, but marijuana should most definitely be regulated and LEGAL for ages 21 and up.
It will be soon in the states. Not sure when, but change has been creeping slowly since the mid 90's.
