Driving High

i have spray paint that i was gonna do some stencils for or somethin, but ill try a wall piece with em

 

When I got my car I found driving high difficult the first few times, but it quickly became second nature. I dont particulay enjoy driving while stoned because I think it distracts from enjoying the high a little.

 

My first time on mdma I was driving around town blazing and blasting some sweet music.... Holy fucking WOW, never really did that again though, too dangerous, because sometimes when I was rolling hard and extremely stoned, after a hit of weed, I'd like blank out for a few seconds, not able to comprehend where I was, who I was or what I was doing.

I like driving around stoned with some proper music, although I try to be safe and drive carefully. You're still intoxicated, I know.

 

I agree with this. While high I like to just relax and let my mind wander, but when you're driving you have to constantly pay attention, so yea I agree it does almost defeat the purpose of getting high, unless you don't have to drive for very long. some of my friends will just smoke and do nothing but drive around, I don't really understand it

 

I drove while I was "tripping" on 21 benadryls one time. That was interesting, to say the least. lol

Also, when I was in Myrtle Beach, I drove while I was tripping on acid and fukt up on 2 xanax bars while smoking a blunt. Multi-tasking, at it's finest

 

i drove once while totally flippin my shit on pcp.. yeah.. it was a life experience for sure

 

^^^Lots of paranoia, I assume?

 

This makes absolutely no sense. She's afraid he'll drive high. He's said he's going to drive high. She's a bitch for knowing the truth?

Though there are some tasks for which THC does not decrease reaction and monitoring, there are many for which it does - tasks important in driving. (The raft of studies demonstrating this are frequently selectively cited only for the parts demonstrating no or conflicting evidence of decreased performance.) It should be intuitive that driving while high is dumb. (And yes, people who insist they drive better while high sound exactly like people who say the same thing about driving drunk.) It may be a blast, but it's dumb. Go out, have fun, smoke all you want, but if you're someone for who is going to have a real crossroads sort of decision in choosing whether to drive or get high, if you can't control your use well enough to keep yourself from getting behind the wheel of a few thousand pounds of metal going 70 mph, then you've really got bigger problems than whether your mom is being lame, and frankly you're the kind of person opponents of decriminalization/legalization point to as support for their position.

I've been reading these forums for a long time. This is the first time I've ever seen something that really compelled me to register and post. I have a hard time understanding this attitude at all. I fully agree that there's a lot of BS propaganda out there about weed, but there's also a reality that says, yeah, sometimes being high actually _can_ have a detrimental impact. When you're doing things that can easily kill and maim people don't be high, don't be drunk, don't be tripping. It's not hard to balance these two things unless you feel like you have to be high every waking hour.

 

PCP, DXM, hell all drugs from that category make driving the hardest. The size and distance of things becomes so hard to figure out, and it's near impossible to tell how fast you're going.

 

I highly doubt he told his mom he's going to drive while high

 

I cant believe how many people who smoke are not comfortable with driving.

 

yeah.. i had a sober passenger.. meaning.. one that wasn't wet.. he kept me in line.. especially when i had no idea wtf was going on at all.. i was seein tons of shit that wasn't even there.. on a one way road LOL

 

it's not that we're "not comfortable"... its that we are responsible

 

If you're not completely ignorant, then you'll also understand that it's different for everyone, and it also depends on the amount/potency of the weed being smoked.

 

Driving while high when you are both inexperienced with both driving and marijuana is obviously a bad idea.

But I believe that marijuana does not impair your motor skills. Motor skills are behavioral, and I think the brain knows how to use them even when your left brain is thinking of something completely different. I'm not sure if this is the same for anyone here, but my friends and I have agreed that we often will lose attention for a couple minutes while high and driving, then we will quickly snap back and look at the odometer and you are usually driving in a perfectly straight line, a couple mph under the speed limit, with your head lights on, so you relax and keep on driving. When I am driving manual high I usually seem to do an even better job.

Plus having music on while high makes driving extremely fun and increases attention.

This is all unfounded speculation of course.

 

i drive high all the time, i personally dont like doing it, it makes me paranoid as fuck. although it is loads of fun... its seriously like playing fucking mario kart haha. i dont mind when other people drive high though.

 

i can drive fine while high - but its not like i get better becayuse of it

 

fuckin hell I hope I never meet you on the road driving

 

i dont feel like irresponsible if i smoked at a friend's house a few hours ago and am still high but driving myself home or whatever.

i DO feel incredibly irresponsible when im blazed as fuck with my friends like hotboxing my car and we decide to drive 40 minutes away to Sonic. and then i start driving like 20 miles under the speed limit and i feel like im on a roller coaster haha. but yeah its all just like a game to me in that sense and thinking about it now totally sober i can see how irresponsible and dangerous that can be. like if im with other people i just forget that im driving sometimes
