Driving High

Keep an eye on the speedometer. I have a bad way of going about 30 on a four lane highway and not even know it!!

lol same with me. i had lots of bong rips and a glass of vodka at a friend' house. by the time i left (1 am) i felt pretty sober but i had eye drops just in case. so i drove out to a intersection, i was lost and went right (should've went left) and saw a roadblock. i almost shit my pants! i had a bag of weed and bong in my backpack next to me. i drove up, the pig asked for my id and driver license. then he said "sir, have you had any drinking tonight?" i said "water" lol i was so stoned and stupid. he flashed light at my eyes and said "ok go" so i asked him where to go to XXXX city and he told me to turn around. i turned around and another pig on the other side of roadblock stopped me and said "id and license sir." i was like "i already got checked." he said "that's fine, i'll check again." i got really nervous and tried to look straight ahead. he gave me the most evil look when the light pointed at my eyes for like 5 seconds long. he said "you pass, go home get some sleep." i was lucky i had used eyedrops an hour before.
 
it prob isnt a good thing to do but if you smoke all day everyday and still have responsibilities then you gotta do what you gotta do. i feel the need to wake and bake every morning but i cant call in to work because i am too high to drive so i do what i gotta do.
most people might think, well you can abstain from getting high but even with weed it isnt that easy, i know i am psychologically addicted to weed, not physically addicted cuz thats impossible but def psychologically
 
im fine when i drive high i know alot of people say that but i think that driving high makes you a better driver because of paranoia, i always drive the speed limit, stop at stop signs and look both ways, basically obey every street law to the fullest when im high
 
I do it every day and if I have to go out of town it's a two joint ride. I love to smoke weed when I'm driving.
Now I really don't give a fuck because marijuana was decriminalized in my state this year and as long as you have less than an ounce on you it's nothing but a fifty dollar ticket, they can't arrest you for it.
I have to admit though, when I'm stoned my reaction time is slower.
 
^ You absolutely sure your jurisdiction doesn't have a DUI/DWI law that you could get nailed for if the cops pulled you over with a brainful of weed? Be smart, that's all I'm saying.
 
driving high is really easy, for me at least. I have a really low tolerance for weed and smoke like once every other month and occasionally I have to drive. even though I'm freaking out in my head cos I'm stoned, it's like my hands just take over and drive for me and I don't even pay attention. other everyday tasks seem really difficult, but I guess because I know that when driving I'm putting my life as well as other lives at risk, my body just takes care of it.. it's really bizarre actually haha. so my advice if for some reason you have to drive high is to just relax.
 
It seems to be a bit of a dangerous catch-22 situation when it comes to driving while baked.
If you're new to weed, new to driving, or new to driving while stoned, I'd strongly advise against it.
On the other hand, I've found after a couple of years of driving stoned at least a couple of times a week, I have no problem with it.
Once you're experienced with weed, driving, and the combination of the two, it seems to be extremely easy - and certainly a lot safer than driving drunk.

The only time it gets stressful is when you have a car full of stoned people who chatter and giggle continuously. That can be distracting. Passengers: if your driver is also stoned, please don't try to explain to them your concept of a neverending cycle of death and rebirth of the universe.

Actually there have been a lot of OUI/Drugs in our local newspaper. "I really don't give a fuck" might have been an exaggeration. :\

So, what are some tips or advice you have to protect yourself (and others) when driving under the influence?

Be careful not to hit anything, and don't do anything that might cause someone to hit you. Failure to do either of those things is the leading cause of marijuana related traffic accidents.

If you want to be extra safe, text your location to a friend every few miles. If you're too baked and get lost, then a friend can come round and pick you up.

NO! Do NOT text while driving, especially high. That is so dangerous, for you and others.
 
I'd rather not drive while high. I dont feel that I'm too impaired, I just think that if I happen to hit somebody or if I'm involved in a crash (even if its not my fault) shit will come down on me because I was under the influence.

If they have reason to believe that I was high, it could be the difference between a tragic accident and vehicular manslaughter

So in sum, driving stoned is a lot safer than driving drunk, but still unsafe.

dissagre in a way.. i find it harder to judge spaces & distance when stoned so parking becomes worse (often takes me a few attempts) and i sometimes feel my car wont fit threw a gap that a bus can.. drinking or sober i could boot it threw them polls designed to slow you down at 60 mph+ no problem.. if i did that stoned i would probably end up with one less mirror

alcohol has always left me feeling alert and on the ball abit like cocaine.. i would just never risk it as your far more likely to get nicked/ loose your cr and license if you drink drive that is just a fact
 
I hope when they legalize it they will have a test you can go so you can drive baked out. Like you go there, they give you a huge amount of dank to smoke, then they give you an extensive driving test. You pass, you get a pot leaf in the bottom corner of your license LOL. There could be stipulations like you only get one chance per year to take it or whatever. I know I could pass...
 
i have to admit that i am guilty or driving high... hell, i used to smoke a joint on the way to high school. but i do think its a bad idea. every fender bender ive gotten into was from bein high and dazing off, not realizing i just took my foot off the brake. i think it's a bad idea but its not as bad as driving drunk as hell.

i was reading High Times a few months ago i read that they are working on making a "weed breathalyzer." If they do that i'd be screwed :)
 
I've never had a problem with it yet (knock on wood). I find its just as easy as driving sober basically, except I drive a lot slower :P
 
From personal experience, you drive a little safer when high, but make dumb mistakes such as missing a turn you were supposed to make, so you turn around and you might miss it again because you're so into the conversation you're having with your friend, unless you try really hard to focus.
