I would hafta say either too much alcohol(7), or a good strong dose of LSD.(10)

Don't drive on a ridiculously high dose of any drug.
Don't drive on any dose of a downer (alcohol, ketamine, benzos, opiates etc) except perhaps a really low one. I have driven many times on my codeine (which I take for pain) and I can manage it but my motor control and reflexes are definitely slowed down.
Don't drive on psychedelics, period...you will be FAR too distracted.
Driving on low-to-moderately high doses of MDMA, meth, or coke is probably *relatively* safe, as long as you haven't been up for days and aren't acting psychotic. Personally, I find I drive much BETTER rolling than I do normally...and this has been duly observed by many friends. On meth I have a tendency to get lost, but otherwise my driving is good.
 
I agree, the downers and the psychedelics are the worst for driving.
Especially GHB + Driving = parking car against treetrunk
If you are a regular pot-smoker you can prob. can drive ok with a low-medium dose. But a friend of mine didn't smoke pot for 4 months, than he toke a few tokes and it hit him much harder than expected. I had to take over the wheel cause he was'nt seeing the curves in the road anymore....
If not rolling too hard, some E seems to actually enhance driving for a lot of people including me, escpecially at night (I have much better nightvision on E). This was not only my own subjective feeling, but some friends noticed I was driving smooth like a proffessional cab-driver. Also on E I am more polite and considering other travelers opn the road.
Coke, it depends on the person. Some people feel indestructible and think the road is their private propertie, drive way too fast and ignoring signs... others who get stimulated but
not too selfish or blown up can drive ok
Shrooms etc... don't even think about it!!!

I absolutely cannot drive when I'm on lsd. But I love riding in a car at night when I'm frying, music blasting with a cigarrete and pipe in my hand. The things you see....
 
for me it's the comedown of a 2 day meth binge when the lack of sleep and mild hallucinations hit me.
i keep seeing shit jump in front of the car.
 
I pretty much agree with fairnymph's assessment, although of course individual responses to drugs vary.
I for example am minimally impaired by any amount of opioids -- as long as I'm still conscious, my reflexes and mental acuteness seem to be normal. OTOH, plenty of people get fairly fucked from opioids.
Similarly with E -- some people just feel sped up and drive fine, while others get much more out of it and confused. There are some people I would NEVER let drive me around if they'd taken any E, and others who I don't think would drive much worse.
But of course in general you should avoid driving intoxicated on anything, if possible, OR driving while tired/exhausted -- driving is dangerous enough as it is, don't make it even more risky.
 
I always had an interesting theory on this. I will use myself as an example...... WHen I drive sober , I get bored and therefore I tend to drive a little more crazier. If I am on drugs or my eyes are just plain bloodshot , then I drive more cautiously. I think most drug users drive fucked up and its the small percentage of people that you hear about getting to an accident. I think driving home from raves is the best example to use. I don't party much but people I talk to say the drive home is always the worst.

heh...i also get kinda bored when i drive sober..all those slow granmas and stupid traffic (i just go pedal to the medal) but when im on something i just get relaxed and drive nicely .. but its not good to be too relaxed..

I always get lost driving high. I just drive and turn where I feel like it, but somehow im always going exactly 25. I never go 25 when im sober.
I dont see how anyone cold drive on psychadelics. I had to move my car once to another parking spot while I was tripping and I had to literaly fight my mind into turning the car on. It knew it was wrong, but the car had to be moved. That coupled with the fact that everything kept traling into everything else made it really hard to see.

The only drugs I ever have any significant problems driving on are alcohol, marijuana and really high doses of heroin that cause me to go cross-eyed.
I have driven on every single type of drug I have ever used. This basically covers every drug you could ever abuse. Downers, uppers, psychedelics, depressants, stimulants, dissociatives, entheogens.. you name it, I've done. Low doses to ridiculously high doses.
And I disagree with statments about not driving on dissociatives or downers or ridiculously high doses of psychedelics. Sure, it's a better idea NOT to, but it's not neccessarily going to negatively effect everyone's driving. It's a matter of being very conscious of how the drugs are effecting you.
I can't drive for shit even if I only smoke half a joint. But I learned how to parallel park on 6 hits of better than average LSD. Most psychedelics and ecstasy actually improve my coordination for some reason. There have been times I was hallucinating so hard I could hardly tell what I was looking at, but man, I could keep the wheel as straight as a razor and stop dead on a dime.
 
Well I can't say anything about the occasional pot smokers, however, the multitude of studies out their on pot use and driving seem to suggest that chronic pot smokers don't drive worse while stoned (of course here stoned is like a joint or two not injection with pure THC or some other absurd dosage).
In the end it is all dose dependent.
No matter what you say soviet if you do enough k you can't drive..period end of story. If you are on the expressway and you snort enough you will end up in the k-hole and unable to drive.
In the end a large enough dose of almost anything causes death so I will reinterpret the question to be which drugs do you find it hardest to drive on taken in their appropriate dosages. While I am very careful about never actually driving on these drugs based on their effect on video games etc.. etc.. I would rank them from worst to least bad to drive on.
Salvia extract (high dose)
Dissassociatives (moderate to high dose...i.e. the area you actually start to 'trip' not just that messed up feeling from low doses)
Hallucinagens (high dose)
alchohol (moderate to high)
e (actually on a real roll..not coming down or a half roll b/c you have killed all your serotonin receptors)
Hallucinagens (low dose)
weed (fucked up stoned out of your mind)
---This is probably where I would draw the line
at reasonable safety
stims (reasonable...not psychotic)
benzos (normal recreational dose...if you can't fucking remember who/where you are this doesn't count)
weed (normal dosage)
Opiates (as long as you are awake/alert)
Ohh and ********** I find it odd that you say driving on e is probably okay while you seem to say never drive on a hallucinagen. E does have hallucinagenic properties so it should be definatly safer to drive on a really low dose of psychedelic than e. Of course normal consumption of psychedelics probably don't use these low of doses.
As a closing note I think probably half the drivers in berkeley are at least slightly stoned at any given time and they don't seem so bad.

Atleast this topic is being discussed constructively...
*waits for the AU onslaught over "DONT DRIVE ON DRUGS"*

I can't imagine driving at any level of dissociation. A good but mobile dose of DXM would result in a lot of slowed reactions on the road for me.
 
Any drug can present a hazzard if you can't handle it's effects - of course some, such as strong downers will offer a greater risk.. but driving on drugs can be flat out funny.. for instance, I was driving home from the coast (about 1.5 hours from my place) on a 100ug/hr fentanyl patch... I ened up wrecking into a gaurd rail about about 80mph and was so fucked up I didn't even realize what happened until the car, well, stopped running about a mile down the road.. I got out and just kinda stared at the demolished front end for a few minutes then sat down, unsure of what should be done next...I got home hours later (AAA) asnd slept for about 20 hours... since then I have never got off like that from a single patch... man, if I had a dime for every time I caused property damage on account of being too fucked up to drive!
So, um, kids, don't drive fucked up because there is a chance you will get caught!
 
/me humps PhreeX's leg
SovietContin -- I still think that the VAST MAJORITY of people can't handle downers and hallucinogens while driving. Of course there are always exceptions but I am speaking generally...
quale - (you spelled my name wrong fucker!) You are right...if people find they get visuals from MDMA, then be much more hesitant about driving. I get seriously NO visuals, perhaps I see slightly better but no eye wiggles or anything. I know other people as well whose vision is unaffected by MDMA. Then again I do know other people whose vision is fucked up on MDMA...so if you are one of these, be careful!
I always get lost driving high.
Yep. Like I said, that's my problem with driving on meth. I remember the first time I shot up meth I was going to a party and I got there and realized I had forgotten my shoes...so I drove the 30 min back to the hotel and then back to the party and got soooo lost.

2) How did my reply make me look like the kind and caring father where my other replies all make me look like an asshole?
