Pot is way different then alcohol, especially for those who do it on a regular basis....other than a warm feeling behind my eyes and a state of wellbeing and peace my reaction time is just as good. I have never been in an accident as a result of being stoned and the only difference with my driving is I go slower at night if I am baked but since I usually speed that is probably a good thing. Point is that everyone needs to be responsible for themselves, the Govt doesn't need to have a say in it if it isn't affecting others and it isn't. Obviously if you are one of the few that pot hits extra hard, all I can say is I wish I was you and I wouldn't drive in that case but I smoke 24-7 otherwise my social anxiety would destroy my business and obviously I need to drive to do estimates and get jobs...but only ignorant people try to compare alcohol and pot cuz they are two entirely different chemicals.

I agreed pot is different from alcohol but still it changes your perception. I was a "professional" driver for 2 years and I smoked during the whole day driving...I can take a lot and yes I was focused on the driving but at times i'd say it's a pure miracle I'm not dead in a car accident, when stoned it happened I forgot to look both directions before a crossing or something, I grew up and today I would never even dream of driving stoned. I drove like a car thief when I was 20.

Too much of anything is not good "I smoke 24/7"...doesn't matter if a person is one of those that "pot hits extra hard" as you put it, or if they're like you and can "take a lot", your perception is still changed just as it is but little or a lot of alcohol. 0 tolerance of intoxication is the only way to go.
You say: "Point is that everyone needs to be responsible for themselves, the Govt doesn't need to have a say in it if it isn't affecting others and it isn't." So if you one day come speeding ("...but since I usually speed...") and don't react in time or something else due to your intoxication and you kill me w your car it doesn't affect "others"?

Last but not least: "but only ignorant people try to compare alcohol and pot cuz they are two entirely different chemicals." It's not comparing the substances in a scientific test, it's comparing them as 2 drugs that changes your perception and therefore are dangerous in traffic.

My friend, I'd say by your post you are the ignorant one acting imature. If you can't stay away from smoking weed when driving, you shouldn't drive or you have a severe adiction problem.

Talking bout beeing ignorant, your avatar: "In god we trust"! GL w that! LOL

Exactly !! This hustle & bustle world doesn't need slow reflex stoned fuckers out & about driving. Someone stoned driving is just as dangerous as someone who is drunk behind the wheel. I've been smoking since 84 & stoned behind the wheel is most definitely very dangerous. In my early years I have had close calls. I'll never drive stoned.

Oh yea, almost forgot when i was in the squad car the screen saver on the cops laptop said "KILL EM ALL" in big red letters. yea, thats what theyre about out here.

and this too..

wtf? I constantly read posts of how poor little pot smoker gets busted for possession in a vehicle. Is MJ such a miracle drug that you think you can drive ok high? Good. Ask a drunk how he/she drives drunk. They will ALWAYS say they drive ok. If they found the MJ somewhere obscure where you couldn't get it than I take it back as far as raggin on you, but you didn't say where they found it nor if you were high or not. Too many people die from shitheads driving f'ed up.

Obviously you dont smoke or cant handle it. Pot does not make you drive any worse then you do sober. That is just bullshit. If you cant handle it then dont drive. Its all in your head. Paranoia

Your not even worth the effort. Go ahead and get your stupid ass busted. Just hope you don't kill others. It's the ones who think they can handle it that are the most dangerous. Please pick a telephone pole or something, not a family.

Sir, I wasn't comparing literally that pot and alcohol are equally bad when driving. I was stating that drunk drivers will also say "I can drive ok" yet can't. Note the posters saying they drive fine while on pot. But I guarantee you they can't.

Now here's another ignorant. "Obviously you dont smoke or cant handle it." I as an example have been smoking for 13 years, I can "handle it", but I'm also smart enough to know, after driving stoned daily for 2 years, that even though I can handle it, it has hapened that I have "missed" things when driving stoned even though I "can take" A LOT (not thinking I'm cool cuz I can, just saying), like not looking in both directions before a crossing, or looking for a phone I dropped on the car floor forgetting I was driving a car and just bent down not keeping my eyes on the road. I did that last thing even though I was "totally focused on driving"...I thought! "Pot does not make you drive any worse then you do sober." How did you get your licence?

If you answer to this is: "Well I'm not you, my driving is not affected from smoking weed" then I'm truly sorry for ya, all hope gone wutta waste...

edit: I also earlier in my life thought I was king of the road. I was also one of those naive pot heads who said "My driving is better when I'm stoned, I'm focused on the driving"...geez I'm glad I grew up...

Well meet me at Lowes parking lot and will do a real Scientific Test. Day one, smoke one damn dank joint solo, drive a designated course, red cones and shit. Let say a constant 25 miles per hour... Day two, we drink a pint of whisky in one hour, do the same damn test.
Are you with me so far??? Day three we smoke 3 10x salvia bong hits... Yeah, you say no comparison... true, true, how about all the Doctor ordered meds I take to stay alive... they fuck me me up big time...
I still have to work, so beware, I'm out there among you on the roads...

What part of my post didn't you understand? Again, I wasn't comparing the physiological effects between the two. I was stipulating the false sense of ability one has when their fucked up on shit. Don't piss your Depends dude.

Not true. I've been a serious pot smoker for over 25 years, I've had a coke addiction problem for more than 7 years. I was a pill head for a few years, I've done my fair share of ecstasy, ketamine, acid & there have been nights where every drug listed above were consumed all in the same evening while I was out and about. I no longer do any drug but smoke my weed. I've been clean from everything else for almost 4 years including alcohol. This is nothing to brag about & I'm sorta embarrassed that I'm bringing it up. Thank god I'm still alive & stronger than ever. Don't talk about not being able to handle it !! That's a fucking lie !! Everyone knows marijuana slows your reflexes & impairs judgment. Accidents only take a split second. So you never drove & let your mind drift for a split second ? If you say no that you haven't let your mind drift then you are a poor liar or you haven't smoked big boys marijuana.

I suggest you start "car pooling" to and from work w a designated
driver There are way too many meds that fuck you up enough not to be able to drive properly...I say 0 tolerance in traffic, I mean comon if you can't stay away from drugs when driving, your licence should be revoked. 1 DUI and you lose your licence and get banned from driving for at least 5 years I say. Just because nothing has happened so far doesn't mean your not a danger in traffic...

Calling me bone head now? And lol "Supporting all you lazy ass, out of work stoners", I paid more tax last 10 years than you'll ever do your whole life. Get your facts straight before the personal attacks, how old are you really?

If your a danger in trafic and you know it, you should consider another occupation where you don't need to drive. I understand it must be a beetch beeing fkd up on meds and I understand that you wan't your freedom of movement, who wouldn't, but also you must realize when your a danger to others and be responsible. I was never condescending to you my friend, keep the criticism contructive, your just throwing shit around...

Here is a way for pot smokers to realize that pot impairs judgment & slows reflexes.

Imagine there were 2 identical versions of yourself about to fight to the death. One was stoned & the other was straight. Who do you think would win ?
