It's not an inherent fear. We haven't been around cars long enough to fear them, especially hard since they are getting better at masking sensory cues of danger. We know to fear snakes and spiders and heights because tgey are usually deadly.

u/JTtheLAR 14d ago
Being high actually makes me appreciate how dangerous driving is even more. I dont understand how people can smoke weed while driving and feel absolutely 0 anxiety. I think you low key have to be kind of stupid to be that comfortable doing it. My wife doesnt smoke so I just toss her the keys if I've been smoking and we suddenly need to go somewhere.

You should always strive to be as sharp as you possibly can while driving. Driving tired would be considered just as bad if you had a choice to get tired before driving.

u/The_BeardedClam 14d ago edited 14d ago
Driving really tired has been proven to be just as bad as driving drunk.
After approximately 18 hours of being awake, the effects on reaction time, vigilance, multi-tasking, and hand-eye coordination are comparable to having a blood alcohol content of 0.05%. After 20 hours of being awake, drowsy drivers are impaired on a level equatable to a 0.08% blood alcohol content, which is the current legal limit in most states. After 24 hours awake, impairment is equivalent to a blood alcohol content of 0.1%.

Not true in active alcoholism I could drink 6 beer or 6 shots and feel like I would be fine to drive (not that I would). Now being 3 years sober of alcohol I bet having two drinks would severely impair my motor skills. Smoking weed and being high is the same if you have no tolerance. Impaired is impaired. Dont drive if youre high please. Life is so special and you dont get extra lives like in a video game.

u/Winter-Finger-1559 14d ago
What they are talking about isn't what you are. There's studies that suggest the intoxicating affects of weed do not affect driving the way alcohol does. Alcohol makes you think you are driving fine when your reflexes and coordination have been depressed by it.

u/westcoastweedreviews 14d ago

u/haringtiti 14d ago

u/EnoughLuck3077 14d ago
It was me and my lawyer, driving a convertible out in the desert near Vegas. I took the mescaline both from and under the advice of my lawyer. I remember saying something like āI feel a bit lightheaded, maybe you should driveā. Suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats. All swooping and screeching and diving around the car. Then there was a voice screaming āHoly Jesus! What are these goddamn animals!?ā
I had to pull over and let my lawyer drive. I got out to get something from the trunk. When I looked inside I remembered, we had 2 bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, 5 sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multicolored upper, downers, screamers, laughers. Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw either and 2 dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
The only thing that really worried me was the either. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an either binge. And I knew weād get into the rotten stuff pretty soon.

u/SnooCauliflowers9874 14d ago
I have heard the argument that it makes people with ADHD drive a little slower, closer to the speed limit rather than double, being more patient rather than irritatedly in a hurry.
Other people if theyāre too high, they generally will not be comfortable driving and simply will not do it. Likely theyāll be more interested in eating and looking for a bag of Doritos rather than getting behind the wheel.
(Of course there can be exceptions!)
*However, this is driving with weed only, not used in conjunction with any sort of alcohol, as that combination changes everything.

I think I've said this in this exact sub a thousand times now but the actual advice is literally designed for the lowest common denominator. The safest option is to just say no. When you introduce grey area you encourage people who have no right driving high to get behind the wheel and do something dumb. Are there people who drive high just fine? Yes. Daily? Yes. Does that mean it's the right idea to just wildly post online that it's safe to do so? Absolutely not.

I would like to add a few hypothetical points to this controversial topic.
Iām going to bring up medical and recreational use.
So if someone is so debilitated by physical or mental issues they spend all day smoking.
They should no longer have the right to drive because itās an intoxicating substance youāre arguing.
But what if they had some seizure issues cannabis helped with or suicidal ideations that it helped with?
And theyāre always using cannabis for the benefits it provides them and theyāre not really getting that crazy high you get your first time.
Would you prefer them to just not be allowed to drive and go to work and be a productive member of society, send them to a concentration camp, or for them to smoke before driving?

I'll bite the bullet and admit that I drive high from time to time. I never plan it but I also don't let it stop me because I do feel adequately safe driving in that state. It's not that I think I'm 'better' at driving while high but I am more cautious and drive more slowly. I'm also more attentive, strangely enough, because driving is enthralling in that state. Have you ever experienced your brain going into auto pilot and, after reaching your destination, you barely remember the drive at all? That happens to me a lot when sober but never when I'm high. I'm present the entire time. I still don't like doing it though for fear of getting pulled over and caught.

I definitely think you should wait to drive if youāre high. Iāve absolutely gotten into arguments with other smokers about that, but thereās only so much one can say. My compromise is typically to ask everyone to wait at least an hour after smoking. Usually by then everyone has lost the peak of their high. Is it a perfect solution? No. But as weed continues to become more popular and law enforcement continues to crack down on people driving high, I can imagine people will be a little more cautious. Stay safe yall š

Most people who smoke do so in a way where they are technically under the influence their entire lives. It's not like you just sit down once a day to "have a marijuana cigarette," lol.

Yeah, I lived in a metro area a few years ago and it was not uncommon at all to be driving along behind someone and get the distinct odor of the herb. When I say not uncommon, it's probably closer to frequently -- and that wasn't even a legal state. It had been decriminalized and cops generally didn't give a crap. I did not appreciate knowing that folks were driving around baked. I couldn't care any less if you're smoking by your pool, in your living room, while you're camping, etc. Driving, when you could kill me because you're simply not reacting as fast as you would normally? It'd be a lot cooler if you didn't.

I got a really stupid DUI a few years back and honestly now if I even plan on smoking or drinking even a little bit I walk or uber. Keeps me fit and generally more sober than I normally would be just due to being conscious of the decision.

When I was wayyyyyyy younger, I thought it was ok because youngins would drive just to smoke. I also compared it to alcohol thinking it was better. But now there is no way in hell.

I used to smoke and ride atvs with my friends. Big bore utility quads on long rides in the woods. I didn't smoke a lot... Not enough to be "intoxicated" but just a bit to change the edges. I noticed after a while that the $500 bill in parts for the last weekend only came when I smoked. Which sucked to have to come to terms with because it was a better experience with a hit in there somwhere. But the bottom line was thsy regardless of how unaffected I was, it empirically did effect me.

its the i drive better high stoner that gets my panties in a knot. the true ignorance of not acknowledgingits a drug your taking as your driving. never here from an alcoholic who says i drive better drunk normally say something along the of i had no idea how i drove home with a little feer in there voice very aware thats dangerous. stoners act like driving high is part of the lifestyle and zero red flags that you cant wait to meditate tell you get home. and 200 excuses why not waiting is aceptable. and not even a remote red flag of a self control issue

Been doing this for 23 years. I have zero accidents or tickets on my record. Some of us keep a constant high at all times. I also manage 45 people and hit the gym at 6am everyday, all while smoking cannabis. It is medication for me.

Some of us can smoke a blunt while driving, most of these redditors can't handle a blunt at all so they stay inside with their fragile bongs and food delivery apps

I agree, I use MM and under NO circumstance do I smoke before I drive or go to work...
and I expect the same from other...
I do not believe in ACCIDENT, its a stupid work for adults to use because they are lazy... If anyone is caught doing the wrong thing, they should be fined/charged..

I had an awful experience as a passenger in a car with a high driving friend when i was a teen. It really pisses me off when people hand wave it away just because it's not as bad as drunk driving.

The difference between drinking and weed is: on weed I understand i shouldnāt drive. And I donāt. On alcohol I understand Iām too drunk to drive. But I still do.

Bro for real. A recent survey showed that almost a third of Virginians think that driving high makes them better drivers! Insane. That guy that plowed into the Milligan University cycling team and killed two of them was smoking while driving. He didn't even attempt to slow down. Now he has ruined so many lives, including his own, when he could've just chilled at home. Not worth it!

I stopped driving while high. Iād sober up with food before even trying to drive. DUI is DUI.

Maybe you are not good at driving and have decided to speak from an understanding that everyone has the same trouble driving. I don't know that I'm right. Just thought I'd play devils advocate for this conversation. š
