After noticing the Drunk Driving poll, I was curious about how many people feel differently about driving while high on Marijuana. Some people think it isn't as big a deal, others think that it is absolutely driving under the influence and should never be done.

How many of you have lit up while driving? Or driven after smoking?

I've done it. It's definitely not the safest thing in the world, but it's without a doubt safer than drunk driving

[RyanPm40]

Yeah, I agree completely. I'd never smoke while driving, though. I know people who have totaled cars while passing a bowl. I like to have both hands free for the wheel! Aside from that, I don't think driving high is that unsafe, but, that's just my opinion!

Haha of course someone else from NH asked this question.....I don't smoke but a bunch of my friends smoke and drive all the time. It's not as bad as drinking and driving but I still think it's dangerous.

Anyone who does this is a piece of shit.

Oh, hey, you're from Nashua? I go to school there! Yeah, I guess that kind of figures that it came from someone in NH XD

Why? Literally the only reason I ever got from my psychology teacher was "IT SLOWS YOUR REACTION TIME TO THAT OF A 70 YEAR OLD'S!"

My answer to that is, "Yeah? Pretty sure my grandparents drive just fine. Are you saying everybody 70+ should have their licenses revoked?"

I dunno. I mean, I think it is obviously more dangerous than being sober, but much better than drunk, and still much better than texting and driving. When high, you tend to get tunnel vision and become focused at what you're doing. I can snowboard black diamonds without falling when high .

It depends how high I was, and if I really needed to drive. But yeah, it's better. I know some people who claim that they drive well when they're high because they're way more nervous and cautious.

You answered your own question. If it's even 1% more dangerous than driving sober, I don't want to be on the road with you.

Options 3 and 4

Sometimes, I forget to click on that, so maybe that's what happened.

Ah! God! That isn't the first time that's happened to me. I forget every time. Great catch, thanks!

Fair enough! I have nothin' against someone with that opinion. I know it can be dangerous, but I make sure to 1. not be completely blasted and 2. drive carefully. Like that article above said, people who drive under the influence of marijuana tend to drive slower, more cautiously, and tend to follow people less closely in order to compensate for their current state.

But, maybe I am just a complete moron (not even saying that in a sarcastic way, I'm just open to the possibility that I am an idiot)

[Neo Cassady]

Nope.

[MyFriendsOver]

I feel like it's not a good idea.

I almost did once. It was one of the first times I ever smoked weed and I'd had way too much. I was sitting in the driver's seat of my car with my friends and I was going to drive before one of my friends smartly said I shouldn't, and then I instantly realized that I was way too out of it to drive. If I hadn't had anyone in the car to kind of bring me back into reality, I probably would have drove, and possibly got in a wreck. I still think about it, and that's why I never drive drunk/high.
