When alot people hear of driving and taking drugs, they come out strongly with their pre-loaded arguements, usually consisting of "ITS STUPID, U'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND GO TO JAIL" etc etc

In reality, as ecstasy is a stimulant, if you are "up" on a nice dose of MDMA and concentrate on your driving, you will be very aware of everything going on and find it relitively easy.

Not only that, but the ride itself is so smooth and the pedals feel like thin air... very enjoyable.

Granted, your co-ordination will be reduced, and during any sort of unexpected come-down, or a hallucinating session on MDA; driving could be extremely dangerous.

I personally drive while peaking, and believe i am safe doing so.

What do u guys think?
 
Dumb!!

You never can expect what effects that certain "Pill" you took is going to effect you. Not only are you risking your life but the life of others who are innocent. how would you feel if you "accidently" killed a family...Mother, Father and children because you thought you were OK to drive? Use common sense, anything that alters you perception of reality is dangerous to use while driving. Period.

I personally think you are a total fool.
I can't believe you drive not just under the influence but think that you're safe driving while *peaking*.

Please please read the following post which is a sticky in Australian Drug Discussion, started by a bluelighter whose father was killed by someone who probably thought she was safe driving. Read the parts about how many lives have been affected and have a good long think.

I read the post, and the incident clearly happened in their tired/fatigue drugs induced. Not even i would touch the steering wheel then.

I'm more than aware of the potential dangers driving on drugs can cause... BUT, i have noticed, when directly under the stimulant influence of MDMA.. driving safely is not difficult.

On most stimulants, be it speed, MDMA or coke i have found driving easy and without trouble...and i'm sure many others driving on those drugs specified would agree.
 
Fuckin stupid, you can do what you like with your own life as far as I am concerned but once this starts or has the possible chance of affecting others then no.

Its not just your own life that you are putting at risk its other peoples which is NOT right.
 
Driving on pills is like being in a video game. Its not a sensible thing to do, as the others have said, you might be ok with risking your life but its not fair to others....
 
I wish I could find this story I read waaay back when about a girl who lost someone to an accident while on ecstasy. IT IS NOT SAFE! You're perception is off, your judgement is warped(prolly half the reason why you *think* you're being safe), and you're not as clear-headed as normal! People get DUIs for drinking...smoking marijuana...and yes...ecstasy! Have you ever lost a friend to an accident in which someone was under the influence of something...I have! You'll change your tune when you're sitting there infront of a judge facing who knows how many years in jail for killing someone... try explaining to this person's mother, child, or brothers and sisters why it was so important for you to be driving stoned!!!:X
 
If you enjoy the ride, rather than drive have a sober friend take you for a drive. Stick your head out the window, enjoy the ride while staying responsible.
 
From my personal experiences...

I have driven multiple times while under the influence of mdxx. I have to say althought it is not smart i find it very easy to concentrate. The only problem i find is the need to go faster and faster because of the sensation. i never really had a close call with an accident actually only once. it was one of my first times driving under the influence and i approached the stop light at the intersection a lil fast and almost BUMPED the person stopped in front of me. as long as u stay off a road with a lot of traffic and obey the speed limits i find it very fun easy and enjoyable to be driving on e. HOWEVER i only drive on E when I kno i can control it. if i am too fucked up then i will say no to drivin.

EXACTLY my thoughts. There are so many of these "don't drug and drive" adverts and stories going around, everyone assumes "ITS SO FUCKING STUPID". In most cases they are right, but with MDMA it's very different.

I don't want to put my lfie at risk, or anyone elses.. and i know i'm maintaining this when driving on E.

The fact is, you won't know how safe it is until you've actually been behind the wheel, saying it's "fuckin stupid" is just blatant ignorance.

Oh and yeah.. i'm sure there have been cases reported of ecstasy drivers having accidents.. but u cannot use that to prove a point, sober people also crash ya know.
 
Dont drive on any drug that chances your perception. Including alcohol, weed, ecstacy, speed, whatever. Even cold medicines say do not drive. Why? Cuz people fuckin die that way. I know too many people now we are dead and because of people driving intoxicated. Please, do not drive, whether or not you feel you are in total control....why take that chance? Just dont fuckin do it. And if you do, I hope your stupid ass gets caught and fined and put in jail....assholes.
 
If ya wanna get technical...yes I've done it, yes I was stupid. Yes I've driven drunk(I got a dui), on ecstasy, tripping, tweeked the fuck out...just about any way imaginable. Its not good, I was young, immature, uninformed and stupid!

At a rave a few years back...a big field party rave...there were a buncha kids hangin out drinking doing drugs. It was relatively early...I'd say midnightish... Right around the time most people are dropping whatever substances they chose for the evening's festivites. Two individuals got into their car to run back to the store one last time before they close the gates and there would be no re-entry. A group of girls coming back from the restroom, walking up the side of the drive..not on the road, slightly drunk, but very aware of where and what they were doing...were walking back to the music area. The girl(my friend btw!) was struck on her left side by the front bumper, her knees buckled and she wound up under the car...DEAD almost instantly! The kids excuse when he got out of the car...he couldn't see that well.

We all get hallucination-like effects from ecstasy, you NEVER know what any given pill is going to do to you. Now you tell me given those cirsumstances...even if you think you are more alert...who gives you the right to play God for me, my family, her family, and her friends! The guy was not overly fucked up...just coming up for a nice night of rollin and raving! Too bad he's sitting in jail right now for manslaughter:(
 
I have driven on it while peaking, but more often than not on the come down when a liltle bit of the sensation is still there. . . hey we all have to go home at some point. honestly i am not that good at it. . . .foot slipped off the brake pedal and almost was in the intersection, so needless to say i just go for rides now, with the sober people. . . i can run my hands through the air, watch streetlights morph into a million different things and rub me feet on the floor's carpeting, and sometimes on the ceiling too. . .that is fun about not driving you can relax and have fun. . . .

Yes, i've stupidly driven on E before. 99% of the time it's been after I've come down, and i've ensured that I'm 100% awake.
As far as driving while peaking- absolutely stupid. I made that mistake once, and ended up parking on the shoulder until I had calmed down. If you're peaking hard, you'll likely be distracted by headlights, taillights, and even lights on the road.
Be smart, don't do it. I wouldn't recommended doing it at all, but if you really absolutely have to, wait until you're not all fucked up. Or get a sober friend to drive you. (even better)
 
BTW...incase you haven't noticed BL isn't about how fucked up you can get or how cool it is to do this or that together. Its about drug information, harm prevention/minimisation! Which doesn't esactly go with driving on drugs:)
 
[edited some pointless racist sexist stuff]

Last year I drove over 100000 Km, mostly in the city, while also using A LOT of meth daily and I never had an accident. I would be up for anywhere from 3-6 days at a time, totally sketchy and haullucinating plus I speeded and drove recklessly. I got over $5000 worth of speeding, red light , and photo radar tickets, but never once an accident.
