the idea that marijuana doesn't impair driving ability seems like one of the most pernicious lies ever
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 15:23 (twelve years ago)
it's possible it's not as bad as alcohol in that regard, but still, i wouldn't do it
pernicious!

Anecdotal evidence but I was pretty much constantly high during my two years as a pizza deliverer ages ago and never had any problems. Never have and never would drive drunk though.
― joygoat, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 15:40 (twelve years ago)
Cause that would be stupid and irresponsible, you know
― joygoat, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 15:41 (twelve years ago)
no, joygoat. it is one of the most pernicious lies ever
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 15:45 (twelve years ago)
when i have been high, it didn't seem like a good idea to be driving. i have a hard enough time not getting distracted in the first place.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 15:51 (twelve years ago)
I'm drunk, high, and posting to ilx while driving right now
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:00 (twelve years ago)
wasn't going to post to ilx, but then I got high.
― pplains, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:02 (twelve years ago)
bet you all think you're pretty cool right about now.
i don't know much about the effects of marijuana on driving ability beyond what i have gleaned from firsthand experiences.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:15 (twelve years ago)
it seems like it would impair my driving ability at least.
I'm not cool and these are all horrible ideas, also driving sucks.
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:16 (twelve years ago)
I'm very cool. I talk about pot on the internet with people like treeship.

vehicular ownership is the #1 cause of rising road related deaths. when was the last time you saw someone get in a car accident without a car?
needs stronger regulation imo
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:18 (twelve years ago)
driving does suck xp. i am extremely absent minded and, as a youth, was hit by a car on two separate occasions. also once i was almost hit by a bus in copenhagen but my friend pulled me away. when i am around automobiles -- much less driving them -- i try to keep my wits about me. im not a cavalier or reckless driver at all and i hate when i am in the car with people who like to screw around by accelerating quickly or running red lights or driving while stoned or whatever.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:19 (twelve years ago)
I love driving. I've never been high. I am reasonably cool? I drink beer.
― Evan, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:20 (twelve years ago)
kids love it when i take the honda up on to two wheels. i gotta smoke a little crank first to get going, but we have fun.
― pplains, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:21 (twelve years ago)
lol what, you're supposed to be ultra-chill when driving stoned, you kids are smoking crack or something
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:21 (twelve years ago)
pplains knows what I mean
b-b-but he said it was marijuana!
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:21 (twelve years ago)
probably drinking all those mountain dews

The girls give me chill vibes when I drive really fast then brake suddenly right up behind the car that was only a few feet in front of me.
― Evan, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:29 (twelve years ago)
The marijuana these days is of a much different strain than you were used to sparking up at H.O.R.D.E. tour, grampa.
― how's life, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:34 (twelve years ago)
Dude, think about it. What if marijuana didn't get you high?
― pplains, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:36 (twelve years ago)
can't think about mindblowing shit right now, i'm driving
― Treeship, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:36 (twelve years ago)
what if you were high all the time, and marijuana made you sane?

― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:41 (twelve years ago)
maybe i just have bad role models because the first time i ever smoked pot with my dad he was driving
― ⚓ (elmo argonaut), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 16:45 (twelve years ago)
or maybe i am just unchill. there are studies to suggest it's fine and then other studies that suggest it's not, from what i have gathered by googling this issue.

Regardless of how we fared driving under various influences in the past, it just seems prudent not to do so again.

colorado is trying to determine how many THCs you are allowed in your blood while driving, apparently you can breathalyze for it
finally we will be able to accurate say how stoned someone is
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 17:47 (twelve years ago)
is a toke like one weed and if you use a bong is that like two weeds
how many weeds can I have and drive
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 17:48 (twelve years ago)
they should let you smoke weed in those auto-pilot google cars
― Mordy , Tuesday, 6 August 2013 21:03 (twelve years ago)
if driving while stoned is bad then i'm the absolute worst
sorry everyone

When I'm high my legs don't work right and I'm constantly trying to figure out a solution for my cotton mouth. I don't feel like that's a recipe for safe driving.

brb, gonna run over a kid in a micky d's drive thru

thought I recognized you
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 21:31 (twelve years ago)
last time I got high and drove everything was very safe and under control
and also 20 miles an hour below the speed limit
― Neanderthal, Tuesday, 6 August 2013 21:31 (twelve years ago)
see, that's how the cops recognize you, you have to wear a white wig so they just think you're old
― carlos danger zone (mh), Tuesday, 6 August 2013 21:32 (twelve years ago)
WA is also trying to figure out intoxication limits:

Bah, she didn't have dreads and was dressed pretty normally.
I wish they said how far above the limit she was when super stoned

i'm not going to argue that aspartame is 'good' for you or that it can't be harmful in large quantities, but every bit of research I've done for "aspartame poisoning" or "aspartame toxicity" leads back only to the fringiest of fringe blogs and "homeopathic" remedy sites, and don't seem to be sponsored by anybody who...is an actual expert.

actually saw a friend of a friend claim they were 'laid out' for an entire weekend due to drinking a low-cal Hawaiian Punch drink.
