PieRsquare said:Cubby, you're wasting your time trying to talk common sense into someone who is convinced that they can drive better when they're stoned. The very idea that it could be safer to operate a vehicle while using marijuana is ludicrous and shows the ignorance of the person saying such a dangerous and outlandish thing. When they get busted for being high while driving, they'll spout the same nonsense to the lawyer who will try to protect them in court. The lawyer will tell them the truth that if they say that silly nonsense to the Judge, the Judge will throw the book at them just for being stupid. I've heard drunks say the same nonsense though. They weave and stumble all the way to the car and then will tell you how they drive better when they're drinking. People like Cajun who really do think that way can only be cured of it by either killing themselves in a car or going to prison for a couple years as a result of their ignorance. Hopefully, Cajun and Acesup will stop being people who drive while high, before they kill someone or themselves. I doubt it, but maybe they'll educate themselves to see that what they're saying is just foolish. There are a hundred ways to prove it to them, but it wouldn't help. They've convinced themselves that they can get as messed up as they want and actually drive better because they think they do. Cajun and Acesup, I'm not personally attacking you guys. You've both said something that is so silly that it defies any reasonable discussion. Please, go talk to someone who actually knows the medical side of coordination and thought processes and they will tell you that the risk of doing something stupid in a car increases for everyone with each toke you take before or during driving. It's a fact. It's not debatable. It's not different for each person. Your thought processes are not as quick and your physical reactions are slowed by the very first toke you take. If you argue this, then you just are too ignorant of reality to even discuss it. Please go talk to someone about it, (like your doctor), before you learn the hard way by killing someone or yourself.
bull crap! have you ever tried doing anything that requires fast reaction time while stoned. i have & do w/o a hitch. one example is sport trap shooting. 2 clays @ a time. guess what they dont come from the same trap all the time either. might have one come from high left & other might be a "rabbit", a slow roller on the ground. maybe you need to dust off the ol nintendo & try duck hunt 1st. where is your data there Pi not pie. ppl like you really grind me. there have been studies done overseas w/ stoned ppl & driving & guess what didnt prove that being stoned impaired your driving skills. ill try to find. someone here posted it maybe a year ago. hick do you possibly remember. might be HIE. off to the archives i go. later PIE
