would you? should you? could you? :cool:

Mark200 · 30-11-2008 04:52PM

No

m5ex9oqjawdg2i · 30-11-2008 04:53PM

Yes no yes?

Effectively the same as drink driving, but not as severe. Ok, your stoned you drive you do not go from kerb to kerb, your reaction times are reduced and you are still a danger on the road. I would think that drink driving, or being extremely tired would be more dangerous. My opinion of course.

Biggins · 30-11-2008 04:56PM

No but I know its become all too commom.

Overheal · 30-11-2008 04:59PM

Also known as Drugged-Driving, it carries as much penalty as Drink Driving afaik. Marijuana can impair your focus and can definitely impair your reaction times and motor function. No, I don't think I would feel comfortable driving stoned.

AckwelFoley · 30-11-2008 05:05PM

Have i? Yes.

but my unusual incapicity to get stoned stopped me bothering to smoke that sh!t anymore

making it easier to focus

Ruu just accidentally put a comma in. He meant to say "No drugs are bad."

Are there any figures available for peoples age in realtion to driving and smoking at the same time?
I'd be interested to see if when and if the figures increase and drop according to age.

Overheal · 30-11-2008 05:44PM

I was feeling lucky with that google, biggins: http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/1775.html

ronano · 30-11-2008 05:46PM

nah

same as drink/tired,better off not endangering others

4zn76tysfajdxp · 30-11-2008 05:53PM

I remember one night last year my friend had to drive a load of us home after getting extremely stoned down some beach. The drive up the shítty boreen was fairly frightening when I realised that I was basically unable to see anything except vague shapes and colours and maybe my pal was feeling the same way. But the driver saying "Man, I'm really, really seriously stoned. But it's okay, I'm alright if I drive really fast" was more so frightening.

Then we went to the shop and I discovered that they had brought back Wispas, which was nice.

A single post? Is the OP yet another column reporter writing a story on the drug culture of the youth of today?
It's shocking so 'tis.

Caoimhín · 30-11-2008 06:03PM

If one is sitting inside, steering a lump of metal and plastic as it hurtles down a road at 60 mph, it is wise to remain sober.

"Perhaps most importantly, officers are instructed to pay attention for "herb-like smells" during the tests."

Smell of rosemary off your man, right book him. :P

I rather drive with a stoned person than a drunk person... by a long shot.

EDIT: Me being the passanger I mean.

I can't drive, but I'd happily get behind the wheel and just go "VROOOOM VROOOOM" for a while if I was stoned, I'd say that'd be class

Jay P · 30-11-2008 07:08PM

My friends went hot boxing a few weeks ago and decided it would be a good idea to turn off the lights driving down a foggy country road so the cops wouldn't see them...

stoned at the wheel!!
