i saw this thread and i was disgusted.

It's one thing to blaze, i love gettin a lil high.  But i don't think driving high is at all ok, i knew someone who got killed by a high driver
when your high your reaction speed is lowered, your judgment goes out the window, you lose alot of your peripheral vision.  driving high is NOT SAFE. sure you can drive without hitting a tree, so your fine, right? everyone with their license has been an experience where if you don't make the right call fast enough, your fucked. they only happen like 1 a month, maybe even less, but its those times that will get you into trouble when your high. 
this is just my rant, i got pissed when i saw this thread...

I know someone mentioned you can't judge your own driving so even tho I believe I am great at driving high it doesn't matter cuz some girl I know told me I drive really well when I'm high (actually drive better in her opinion cuz if I'm sober I try to scare her more hah)


also found this on the webbbbbernetzzzz

There are people that cant drive high, they are the same people that can't comprehend social situations when high.  If you can't take a few hits and speak a full sentence, chances are you should get behind the wheel of a car.  However, habitual smokers can agree that smoking and driving is safe (if not safer than sober driving), fun, and more enjoyable. It's just another step in driving, you wouldn't jump into the driver's seat without lessons beforehand, you wouldn't drive high without some experience.

driving high can be fine honestly i know it lowers reaction speed and vision and judgement thts y i drive sober, but it does depend on your personal reaction to weed. My parents rolled our jeep in a ditch 3 time because so asshole thought it was ok to do when it obviously affected his decision making . he cut diagonaly into a gas station which is no big deal but he wasnt realizing he was on a 55 mph rd coming out of a blind spot. for all of u who can pull it off good for u but really dont think anybody can do it just because ur one friend does

agreed. I mean i can see how alot of people think that it would be bad but driving is really all about confidence and awarness. When im high both of those things seem to increase. Might not be the same for everyone but it is for me. Road trips go by so fast and if your driving in a really nice place its so awesome.

i don't drive so maybe this doesn't matter but when i roll around and blaze the higher we get the more cautious and safe the driver becomes. this is completely different that driving drunk which is stupid.

If you know how you react to weed and are comfortable with it, as many have already said, its not a big deal. When i drive high im safer than sober legitimately, i get slightly paranoid and therefore focus more on my safety, i actually kinda play a game to be as safe as possible because when i have been pulled over high it wasn't fun, although i did get out with a warning. I just drive exactly 5 miles over the speed limit, listen to some tunes, and cruise without any problem. Driving drunk however, yeah one experience with that because my friend kinda forced me to, will never do it again.

when i drive high im twice as cautious of a driver than i normally (because im forced to be)
i drove last night high and just went like 5-10 under the speed limit, took everything super slow and paid more attention than usual.

there is the dumbass blazed driver and the aware and cautious blazed driver.

id still prefer not to drive high though

watch the video, in the test the guy being tested is faced with an emergency stop and performs just fine.  I have been through road blocks high and been good to go, I have also been faced with a couple emergency situations while driving high.

-had to drive down the busiest street for pedestrian traffic (lots of people trying to cross the road) high as a mafacka and this fucker just jumped out in front of my car and i stopped fine cuz i was goin the speed limit etc.

other times too im just too blazed and tired to write them all out haha

i understand where you are comin from tho some people really can't handle driving high

I drive high almost every day of my life.  I drive exactly the same as when I drive sober, except I do the speed limit instead of 10-15mph over.  I've been in 5 accidents before, none reported, one of which was my fault.  I was sober for every single one.  I've never been in an accident high.  I've actually avoided serious 80mph collisions with split second desicions, blazed as fuck.  I've been driving high almost every day for 4 years now.  If you are good at driving, and good at smoking, then you are fine to drive high.  I agree not everyone can do it though.  But I rank driving high as much, much less dangerous than driving drunk.

Oh and after reading this thread, I will say there have been a handful of times when I was too high to drive, after eating edibles mostly.  And I realize I am, and I don't drive.  So its not being high, its being a fucking moron.

I actually blaze like 3/4 of my bowls in my car while I'm driving, which probably comes to like 3 bowls a day on a regular day.

a lot of my friends drive high and are fine. i personally could not do it cause i know i get wayy too blazed when i smoke and i wouldn't wanna risk it. this kid i know drove to a party rollin on extacy, which is retarded btw. i've never done x and don't plan to, but how would that compare to driving on weed or alcohol?

I love smoking in the car.

i don't ride when certain people are driving sober, but i will ride with them because they are safer and more cautious. That is only on certain occasions, like if they have a high tollerance or they aren't that high i will ride with them, that is all. I don't feel safe and i always strongly recommend they don't drive.

They're are only a few people i will ever ride with when they are high (just high, not baked or how ever you would describe yourself when you are really high.), like my brother.
