Driving While High Do You Do It?

  1. Hey everyone,
    Just pondering the what the actual risk is of driving while being high (on weed of course lol).
    Personally I never have driven high and the closest I have ever smoked before driving is on 2 occasions 3 hours before. Both times I made sure I didn't feel high anymore by the time I started driving.
    Keep in mind I have certainly never driven after drinking and wouldn't ever if I felt like I could be close to the legal alcohol limit (.08).
    So I'm wondering what others thoughts and experiences are on the topic.
    Have you/do you drive high?
    Do you consider it risky both dangerous and legally?
    Do you think driving high is LEGALLY as risky as driving drunk?

    Thanks! Im very curious to hear peoples opinions.
     
  2. I personally do not drive when im high, imo its not worth loosing my licence for. Same as drink driving, i rely on my car to much
     
  3. It majorly varies from person to person, and tolerance. I have a lot of friends who don't like driving high.
    I can do it after getting high as hell because I have a high tolerance and I'm used to being high. Plus I have a card and I never carry anything in the car.
     
     
    In California, it's not as serious as drunk driving. Most cops seem chill about it(at least in the SF bay area). 
    If they catch you hotboxing most of the time they'll take your weed and tell you to drive home and not do it again.
     
  4. I do around where I live because i'm way out in the sticks. I wouldn't do it on the DC beltway at 7:30 am..Though I have been on that fucker under even more brain crippling conditions. Haven't for a long time though - and never will again, either! Fuck that shit!
     
  5. I don't recommend it. Even if you are driving perfectly well, some idiot on a cell phone (or regular phone with a really long cord) hits you and the cops see that you're high...you're the one getting fucked.
     
  6. In AZ it is considered driving while impaired. I just don't do it. If I have to go some place when I am high I have my wife drive me.
     
  7. I can get blazed the fuck out and still drive perfectly fine.
     
    Then again I was always that guy that was driving everybody around while they were either high/drunk/fucked up or a combination of all 3 lol
     
     
    This is EXTREMELY true & IMPORTANT. I almost had this shit pulled on me once.
     
  8. I find I ride my motorcycle better while high but I don't usually just in case I make a mistake.
     
    :p
     
  9. I drive like an agressive douchebag when I'm sober and I'm hella relaxed and calm about shit when I'm high. I just cruise, let the music flow and don't worry about that asshole who cut me off, or the dude whos swerving and texting. I also don't get "high" like other people, I have an extremely high tolerance and can pass sobriety checks like its nothing. Done it a few times before and let me tell you, they don't like the "I have no response" answer when they ask about the eyes. Sure my eyes get red, but I'm not high. Give me some coke, I'll get high then..
     
    Been pulled over once, flash lighted on my eyes and they call me out. Here I am, 15 min after throwin my blunt out the window.It doesn't smell because of a nice product called ozium so I knew I was straight. No bud on me so I was like straight to his face lol, probably a bad way to start shit but I mean you want to say I'm not telling the truth?? so I said " Awesome bro, I've been to a few rodeos what do you want the finger tapping, abcs backwards?" Pass everything he throws at me, I mean shit I've never heard of being on a check and I've heard of some outrageous shit.. and he wanted to search the car. I said no, he calls backup with a dog.. who scratches the fuck outta my car outside but doesn't indicate on SHIT!!!
     
    Get outta here assholes!!!!
     
    (yes I broke the law driving while smoking, driving while high(honestly, I think theres a difference between highs.. I know people who smoke just as much as me who get all goofy and can't focus or talk. Idk, there'll never be achange in that law so yea) but other then those 2 I'm not swerving, driving slow, not indicating turns(alright.. the flasher relay is busted, so maybe I'm not indicating EVERY turn lol))
     
    ANYWAYYYYYY
     
    Given a ticket for an air freshener on the mirror LOL.. That was like a little jab at me that they knew I smoked but I was smart about it. Woulda ate the blunt, you wouldn't have got me on anything even if I just blew smoke out as you flicked the lights man.
     
    Ozium is the shit, or ONA in a spray(i swear by the mix but its toxic let me tell you). Close up your windows, spray some towards the back of the car, let it sit for 30 sec to 1 min depending what you can handle(it will hurt your nose lol) and then open your front windows slightly for 30 sec, then more for 30 sec, then just open all the windows. You pulled the strong mix you sprayed to the back, back to the front and out. Should smell amazing!

    i do it but its mostly kentucky backroads and my destination is never more than 10min away. so im either high going to get higher with a friend or coming back from smoking with a friend, lol. regardless, on a scale of 1 - 10, im never above a 4 whilst driving. the friends i smoke with always ask 'are you ok to drive?' and if i say no then we just chill for a bit. knowing your limits is key to not doing a ton of stupid shit.
     
    alternatively you could just not drive whilst high, but thats a little too impractical for me tbqh
     
  11. I do out of necessity but I don't like it. Scratched my truck once.
     
  12. I just did it last night, but didn't really feel nervous to since it was around 11 pm and drove for 15 min. at the time so there was barely any traffic. Was tuning to this song too and it sounded soooo good when I was high...

    Anyway, I would highly recommend NOT doing it though when traffic is heavy or if it's raining. Also avoid heavily patrolled areas with cops.
     
  13. For example.. Just two nights ago, a 20 year old kid veered off the road to the right, corrected too much to the left and hit a fence, tree, and then a utility pole. He got DWI, possession of bud and some homemade bongs, papers and a grinder.
     
    I've driven the road he crashed on(its right by me) several times high and im fine.. He could not handle his shit and crashed.
     
  14. I never drive with any intoxicant...  Not only does is show a complete disregard for the safety of others, it does no good for one's own safety.  The responsible thing to do is to get a Designated un-Intoxicated Driver.

    I don't really drive high. I'll occasionally make a quick store run on the tail end before I've come down all the way, but that's it. Though I used to drive stoned and/or drunk all the time as a teenager.
     
    I don't think it's nearly as dangerous as driving drunk. I know it's just anecdotal evidence, but I've only seen one blatantly stoned person wreck, and that was a fender bender. I've stopped counting the serious wrecks involving drunks. As long as one acts carefully and is not totally baked, I don't see how it'd be anywhere as risky as driving drunk. Your reaction time is still slowed slightly, but judgment is not impaired like with alcohol, at least for the majority of people. Just my two cents.
     
    As for the legal risk, it is just as bad as driving drunk. Driving stoned will get you a DUI just as easily. Not even to mention potential charges for having weed and/or paraphernalia in your car, as well. Smoking in your car is, without a doubt, the easiest way to get busted for weed.
     
  16. Just once, had to drive my roommate to class right after toking up. I'd prefer not be behind the wheel though.
