I am making this thread to tell every single person who votes here to PLEASE be careful driving. If you don't think you can drive, just don't drive. You may think that your not risking much when you drive impaired by a drug, but you are risking your life and the life of others.

My friend just got his license and a brand new Civic. It's raining where I live and it's getting to be foggy. Well, after getting stoned with my friend, he wanted to go to a girl's house. I asked him if he was fit to drive and he assured me he was. (I did not know this, but before I arrived, he took some Valiums.)

Well, my friend and me got in the car and my other friend started driving. He was driving perfectly until a car comes around a corner with their brights on and they are on our side of the road. My friend tried to stop, but skidded, so he pulled into the ditch. But at the speed we were going, we hit the ditch and flipped.

This has just happened in a matter of like half an hour ago and I'm shaken up. I was wearing a seat belt and I cut up my hand, but that's it. My friend driving was ejected from the car and is now in the hospital, but they think he is going to be fine. My other friend is just a little cut up. The air bags never worked.

I do not know where to put this, but I just want to get the word out. This experience has taught me so much. You can be driving SOO GOOD on a drug and think you will be fine, but whenever there is a sudden decision, what if the drugs delay or stop you from making a decision that can save your life?

I'm not trying to be a public service announcement and I don't know if this is the right forum. I just had a scary encounter that has taught me something and I just feel like I need to tell others. I know some people can drive just fine high, but please, just be safe.

The sad thing is the car that was our side of the road left right after we hit the ditch and flipped. I can not remember what the car looked liked. I just remember seeing bright lights, hearing brakes, feeling a big jerk, and then I could feel myself in the car flipping.
 
A guy and girl who went to my high school were killed 2 summers ago after his car hit a tree and him and his girlfriend were ejected. They were huge stoners and I'm sure some drug played a role but the lesson is the same regardless: cars and lives are not meant to be toyed and gambled with. You already know you're a lucky bastard but if you forget the lesson then the incident meant nothing. Even if you didn't know he was on valium, you guys were stoned. Don't get in a car with anyone on anything ever. I'm glad to hear everyone suvived.

Yes you are. We're the public, and you're announcing something to us as a service. It's not a bad thing.

I'm not so proud to say I've run a couple red lights stoned. The first one was out of stupidity, but the last one really scared me because I didn't even notice I did it at first. Sobered me up real quick, and now I am very careful.
 
I think we all know a few people who were killed driving/ or by a driver under the influence.
 
Yeah Twip, you have a point. I just had an experience that really put things into a different world for me. It's like before the accident, it never really hit me how much danger it can be when you put someone stoned behind the wheel.

Just last night, when I was riding in the front seat, and I hear the boom and then I felt the car flipped, I could hear my friend screaming. He wasn't screaming like a girl, nothing like that. He was screaming in pain because I realized later the car was flipping on him.

I cut up my hand pretty bad. I could actually feel it touch the pavement once. But just to hear my friend scream like that and he never screams at all... it's something that you don't want to go through, trust me.
 
yeah, ive been in a few situations before that could have been prevented without making stupid decisions..

I guess I learned though, just the other day I was reaaally stoned, got in my car and felt really spaced out and fried. i just sat in my seat for a couple minutes.. my friends asked what the hell i was doing and i was like "dude, we're walking." haha.
 
Hmmm.

What if the car's hotboxed, but apart from that the driver hasn't smoked anything?
 
I agree. Please do yourself a favor and don't get in the car if you seriously have ANY doubts about your driving capabilities at the time. Same goes for not getting into a car with someone messed up, etc. The stuff we've allll heard throughout junior high.

Yeah I'll usually drive about an hour or two after I smoke, but I'm very uncomfortable with the idea of driving right after I blaze.

drunk drivers run stop signs, stoners wait for them to turn green

So true... A lot of the time ill pull up to a 4 way stop sign thing, and sit there for a bit, then see a car coming from the right, watch them stop, and i wonder what they are doing, then i realise i only had to stop, then go...
 
I agree not to drive fucked up. But would this have been avoided if the guy was sober... I mean, the dude was in your lane, and it sounds like the driver did the best he could.

Well, I can not really say for a fact that it could of been prevented if he was sober. I just think that in my mind, he acted like a normal person would do stoned. He just made a very late reaction and made the wrong decision.

That's what I personally think.
 
Its hard to say from the information giving, but i think that would most likely be the same thing that would have happened to a sober driver, as alostlittlebird said. Also, i'm positive this would have happened to an inexperienced driver also. its not necessarily a late reaction that caused you to start skidding, and a wrong decision could be from inexperience also. there is not much for a driver to do when you have a car coming at you in YOUR lane. initial reaction is to swerve out of the way. you just happened to have a ditch there.
 
it's sad to say that i've seen quite a few posts around BL over the years where people boast of how often they've driven stoned and how much of a better driver they are when doing so...

e.g. check out this recent winner from BLer StagnantReaction: post

in a recent satire, the onion wrote:

"Don't get drunk and drive. Disregard this if you happen to be one of those people who drive better drunk."

which may as well read:

"Don't get stoned and drive. Disregard this if you happen to be one of those people who drive better stoned."

doesn't it sound really stupid?

alasdair
 
So the car that was in your lane (the one that caused the crash) left the scene...? If the driver saw you flip and roll off the road and he still left the scene, I would bet he was the intoxicated one
 
I do agree that driving under the influence is a bad idea full stop, however it sounds like your accident would have been hard to avoid in a full state of sobriety.
 
My cousin was drunk nearly 3 weeks ago and hit a pillar and had to be cut from the car. He was lucky, but he still has no feeling in his left arm, but they reckon it will come back eventually
 
i don't think driving stoned is that difficult at all, and actually find it much more relaxing than driving sober. driving under the influence is dumb but its one of those things that everyone seems to end up doing no matter what they say. i drove on ambien and a few shots a couple of weeks ago, definitly not a terrible idea but i managed to make it home and my driving wasnt bad at all, i just felt like i was watching someone drive.
 
^^Look man, I don't think you get it. Ambien, shots, weed? Of course its relaxing when you don't give a damn. But what about the guy coming the other way who does? Is that fair to him or his family? This isn't just about one's own life, it is about everyone who is affected by doing ignorant things like what you do. Everyone does it is just an excuse and the oldest and most generic one at that. Everyone does NOT end up doing it! I ragged on this guy for getting in a car with someone who was stoned and not even driving himself. You should feel damn guilty for driving on sleeping pills and alcohol even if you don't feel guilty for driving stoned.
