So only people going from one place to another might be driving stoned.
As opposed to people driving from a place to no where?
Impaired to drive STONED???

I think there is an important point that is going over the heads of many of you who seem opposed to what I'm saying.
I don't hesitate to drive stoned at all, I know my abilities are not diminished by any appreciable amount. I drive differently to compensate for my possibly lower response time.
Having said that, driving stoned has to be illegal. If you go around saying "hey legalize weed" and then follow it up by saying "driving stoned is fun, and it shouldn't be illegal" you're going to have more opposition than you can shake a stick at.
A lot of people smoke weed, but even more of them don't. Many of those people are soccer moms and shit. They freak out when little Johnny gets some dirt under his finger nails. She don't want to have to scratch off a stick figure family member from the back of the mini van.
These people are not rational. It needs to be made illegal to drive stoned. It is a very small price to pay to be able to legally grow it and smoke it.

I drove on mushrooms once. Twice actually.
It was very strange.
The problem arose because I ate them while I was driving, and continued down the road for the next couple of hours.
It was really tricky when it started to kick in. Am I tripping yet or is that car really beside me.

So 1 in 9 drivers smoked pot in the last 30 days or so. Every driver drank water in the last 30 days (well, except some of the drunks). Hydrated driving should be a felony.

I like driving when I'm so high that I forget where I'm going.

I don't understand the people here who are saying "marijuana doesn't effect me. I can drive just fine while high". If marijuana doesn't effect you why are you smoking it in the first place?
Marijuana is a "mind alerting drug". That is why you divulge in it. By trying to lay claim to the fact that it doesn't impair the ability to drive only makes you look like more of a "pothead". You are feeding the stereotype. If you want marijuana to be accepted and respected by the general public you need to act mature while using it. Mature, responsible people don't get high and drive.

I like my vehicle I have now, Immune to EMP, zero electronics. Power nothing. Has never broken down or left me without a way to get home in over 32 years now. Simple enough for me to fix just about anything that could happen to it. Built like a tank and can go places most vehicles will die trying to get to.

can those do this?
or this?
I hate seeing all these new bulletins and stories of weed now ALL OF A SUDDEN affecting such huge population. Especially that a dispensary open and driving accidents rose...
Weed had long been around an i doubt the percentage of smokers went much higher because it being legal... only difference is better product and more local. So where was all thus huge driving concern before it was 'medical marijuana'
I do agree that smoking will impair and CAN, not "will" cause an accident which is not ok. The goverment has plenty of access to resources and can make a reasonable test... problem is, theyre so used to doing what they want regardless wgat we say. Therefore, they will start arresting people based on a test which wont accurately read . Then "STUDIES" will arise that "AGREE" with them.

I got really high and went driving this morning and this stupid woman driver pulled out in front of me in a 55 mile an hour zone. I had to slam on my brakes and swerve into the other lane to avoid her.
Women are distracted by everything so to ensure the safety of civilization they should not be allowed to operate motor vehicles. Think of the children!!

That one isn't actually mine, I don't post any pictures of easily identified things, mine is is a different color and has a roof top tent, and a custom rear bumper with mounts for 2 jerry cans and a spare tire. otherwise, pretty much the same, same winch, tires, snorkel, ARB Bumper, Lites, blah blah blah. I also have ARB air actuated locking front and rear Diffs which I regeared from 4.10 to 3.73 to compensate the H42 4 speed tranny for the extra large tires. Mine also has the original inline 6 cylinder engine, the one pictured has a Cummins Diesel. I would love to have a 12HT in the beast, but the 6 does fine because of 200 lb/ft of torque available at 800 RPM to a max of 260 at 1200 RPM.
You don't have to do much to these to make them very capable 4 wheel vehicles, they come that way stock. Just adding lockers will get you through 90% of anything you care to try. Some of them came with factory lockers, but those are rare and none came to the US. I can see why your brother only added more horsepower for more get up and go. I don't drive my cruiser on the highways much, gravel roads and terra firma mostly. Its geared low, I can get out and walk alongside it as it crawl over things.
The only bad things? Parts are expensive and getting harder to find, also the fuel mileage sucks. 14MPG lifetime average. Most people see 12, so my light foot helps.

What I learned at work, is to go kinda grumpy. No one expects a grumpy to be stoned. But, I am. Oh..yes. what?
