Typed out a response. Decided it wasn't worth it.
If you think it's okay to drive high, no matter how well you think you function high, you're an idiot.
Its like the people who say "I drive better when I've had a few drinks because it makes me really focus on driving so I don't get caught."
driving under the influence of anything is equally wrong, and equally dangerous.

Just wondering....
For the guys that live in the states where Marijuana is legal...
Are there clubs or organizations that are associated with Corvettes and Cannabis? Guess I'm kinda' naive on the subject being from one of the states where it's not legal, even if it was, I work for a company that administers the ol' monthly **** test. I don't advocate drinking and/or smoking and driving, but have no problem with either. Like I said to begin with, was just wondering about it.

First let me say that driving under the influence of any drug is dangerous and I don't do it any more. I'm 54yrs old had a dui 30yrs ago and I don't drive impared. That said I have to agree with tourchredz06 on this. 30yrs ago I smoked my share of weed also. While in my youth I have never seen anyone high on weed get mouthy in a bar and cause a fight, never saw anyone loose control of boidily functions (saw a guy at a bar so drunk he pissed himself right before passing out) and yes passed out drunk.
Never saw that with weed. And weed is NOT addictive, nor a gateway drug. I never did any other drugs. And if someone who does smoke weed on a regular basis decides to or has to quit they do not suffer from withdraw symtems like coke, meth, or herion.
I like torchred and grampi can speak from experience, if you never did weed than thats great, but if you have then you know what I'm talking about. If I had to decide do I want to share the road with someone that was impared with either alcohol or weed, or cell phones, i like my chances with the weed impared driver over the other two.
Just my .02

From a report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety:
“Worry that legalized marijuana is increasing crash rates isn’t misplaced,” says David Zuby, Executive Vice President and Chief Research Officer of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The group looked at collision claims from Colorado, Oregon and Washington before and after retail marijuana became legal.
They compared the numbers with states where its not allowed – factoring in a number of controlled differences including population.
Colorado saw the biggest estimated increase in claim frequency compared with its control states.
After retail marijuana sales began in Colorado, the increase in collision claim frequency was 14 percent higher than in nearby Nebraska, Utah and Wyoming.
Washington has estimated increase in claim frequency was 6 percent higher than in Montana and Idaho, and Oregon’s estimated increase in claim frequency was 4 percent higher than in Idaho, Montana and Nevada."
But of course the stoners won't believe any of this.

Hookers and Blow - Yes.
Corvettes and Cannabis - No.
Cannabis is legal in Oregon and the ultra-liberal governor just signed a law that makes other hard drug use a misdemeanor. It should be interesting.

Were all of the aforementioned collisions fatal? Difficult to cause serious damage when you're doing 25 in a 50 with your hazards on. Pot haters are just as bad as Atheists. (In regards to attacking Christianity) You know nothing about the opposite side of the aisle or the reasons people partake in self medication, and yet you feel the need to insult them. Educate yourself, and the world will be better off.

Please someone lock this thread. 25 in a 50 is dangerous. Especially say, in the rain if someone is stoned and forgets to put on their lights and gets rear ended.
Driving is dangerous enough as is, why advocate increasing the risks?
if you want to "self medicate" that's fine. Doesn't hurt me a bit. Until you try to operate a moving vehicle.

Take the time to read my previous posts. I've never driven high, nor would I ever advocate it. My only argument, is that alcohol is far more destructive than pot. It's abused far more often, as well.
Also, in the scenario I provided, the stoner had his emergency flashers on. If he gets rear ended, he's not at fault. Lol.

Its also a pointless argument for either of us to be having. We both agree with each other.

This is an irrelevant comparison. We are saying pot doesn't impair nearly as bad as alcohol does, and it doesn't. You are comparing people who are impaired by getting high as compared to people who are completely sober, which is a different comparison, and I don't believe anyone here said they approve of anyone driving in an impaired condition, whether it be drunk or high...
