Hey mama, So my husband thinks it’s okay to smoke weed and drive. In his mind, it’s not okay to have two drinks over 4 hours and drive. What are your thoughts on this?
this would not be okay in my eyes. Weed slows down your reaction time, making it hazardess to drive. I also think any amount of alcahol is irresponsible too
Smoking weed doesn’t impair you from driving. Doesn’t cause you to be slow either. Most people commenting haven’t smoked and it shows.
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. My husband think it's okay to smoke weed and drive: Thoughts?

Both are wrong, but it’s been proven that weed drivers are safer.

You’re technically impaired after smoking it’s the equivalent to drinking & driving.

Nope nope NOPE!!! We are a huge 420 friendly home my 17 yr old has a medical card as well there is NO DRIVING what so ever!!! It’s not responsible to do so, what does he think he is teaching his children? Could he live with the fact that he injured someone or killed someone? Bad role model and he needs to stop in my opinion. He’s an adult and needs to show responsibility FOR HIS CHILDRENS SAKE

I’d say he’s fine to drive - especially if he’s a daily smoker … You can smoke weed all damn day & still drive safely & pass a field sobriety test … You *can’t drink all day & drive safely or pass a field sobriety test …
It’s illegal BUT for chronic smokers … it doesn’t really make them high … it brings them from low…to normal … if that makes sense

Your husband is right. 
There is nothing wrong with driving after smoking… You CAN get a charge for an OVI if something happens which is the same charge you get for drinking, but as there is no breathalyzer for weed and no test tells how recently you’ve smoked they have to either smell it or see it or you have to be very obviously under the influence to even bother with charging you for it…

Some people can drive high and make it to their destination successfully but it’s not a great idea. Some people can’t function so it’s best not to risk it. Driving drunk is worse though IMO

I find it fine as long as their are no children in the car and if you let your man drive after having one drink at dinner Then let this man drive while
Stoned if anything people are more cautious high and nobody can say anything because bud affects everyone differently most people that drive high aren’t high they just feel normal and relaxed

I drive better after a puff or two, because I have severe anxiety. However, I will not drive if I’ve had more than two drinks. As a long time professional bartender, I agree with your husband.

Also think about if he’s a casual smoker- at that point he isn’t really going to be super “high” like people do that smoke on occasion, probably just more of a calming affect than anything.

I was an everyday smoker for a long time and USUALLY I was just fine to drive while high. That being said…has anyone commenting on here ever been so high you feel drunk?! Like you are just straight up too high to function? Cause I know I have and that is not safe, no matter what someone says. So I feel like some common sense should be used here. If he is just smoking your average joe weed then I wouldn’t be concerned. Now if he is going into dabs and edibles then his high could reach that “too high to safely drive” level.

I don’t mind anyone drinking or smoking…I’m not judgemental. However that being said…why would you drive under the influence of any drink or drug? Legal or not. Nyquil is also legal and you shouldn’t drive using that…so what makes Marijuana any different? If it impairs your judgment or slowers your reflexes…why risk it or lives of others if you space off and hit another family? Really that hard to stay home and do it? My opinion only.

Old joke (and not entirely inaccurate):
Q: How can you tell which driver on the road has been smoking weed?
A: They’re the one with both hands on the wheel, driving the speed limit, and paying attention to the road.

Its NOT ok to drink and drive and its NOT ok to be high and drive. Being mentally impaired when your driving is illegal and is a recipe for disaster.

I think it depends on how it affects you. I mean you’re not supposed to drive after either, it’s against the law. For myself I will not drive if I have done anything at all because either of them affect me and I do not feel safe or capable. I have friends who can smoke and are 100% normal and fine to drive. It just depends. But again either are technically not okay.

No that not good my uncle used to do the same thing and he got caught doing it .
Alcohol and marijuana impairment are not the same. It is all about tolerance and the way you’re ingesting the THC. If I smoke driving is fine but edibles or concentrates no way. My parents used to smoke while driving us around as kids, (I don’t condone this, and don’t smoke around my son) and we never got into accidents or got pulled over.

Nope. I don’t care what a person chooses to do (drink or smoke). But to get behind the wheel and put other people’s lives in danger is not cool at all. The worst case scenario is something you would have to live with for the rest of your life.

I’ve done this a million times. I have a perfect driving record and it’s never impaired me. It’s way safer than drinking. There have been studies on this and the study showed they can’t even tell which drivers had and which hadn’t. And when they did, it was the drivers who were extra cautious.

Studies have shown that you have a slower reaction time after using cannabis. And legally it’s still impaired driving.

As a police officer, I have worked too many crashes from impaired drivers, many unfortunately, were fatality crashes. Some are saying they aren’t affected as much but the brains response to what is happening slows during the consumption of marijuana. An average persons total reaction time is a combined time of 1.5 seconds to perceive what’s happening and then another 1.5 seconds to react to what is happening equaling a total of 3 seconds. Someone under the influence of marijuana actually has a total reaction time of 5-6 seconds. With any medication of altering substances, It is unsafe to operate a motor vehicle.

Weed isn’t alcohol. It’s medicinal and doesn’t effect your ability to function when used responsibly.
