My husband think it's okay to smoke weed and drive: Thoughts?

Bottom line, no one has the right to drive impaired! No one!:rage:

Well honey, weed and alcohol are two different things. Driving high means you stay at a stop light 2.5 seconds longer. Driving drunk means you hit a car at a stop light. Grow up.

It’s not ok period. Same for meds or alcohol that impairs

I do edibles daily. I do NOT drive when taking them. I am one of the most pro marijuana advocate out there. When it comes to driving though? It impairs you. There’s no reason EVER to get behind the wheel impaired. High or drunk.

It’s literally always a better option to not be under the influence of anything at all, but that being said, I’d get in a car with a driver who smoked weed over a driver who’s drank a couple drinks every time.

I think it depends on the person. I’m more alert to my surroundings. I’ve never been in a car accident either. Now my neighbor, I wouldn’t drive with him after smoking, he can’t even walk straight. Has this always been an issue for you or are you all of a sudden against it?

Driving while high is still cause for a DUI. It isn’t limited to only alcohol.

I wouldn’t cuz that shit makes me mad sleepy :joy::joy: but I would drive with someone who smokes before someone who drinks.

I am amazed at some of these comments…impaired impaired you can get pull over and still get a DWI. You are still under the influence of something, it is never ok to get in to a car and drive after that.

Can’t change his thinking, only think that you can do is change boyfriend, get knew one not change him

I dont get high, now that its legal, so ya

I smoke and drive. Doesn’t effect me…

Honestly that’s how I learned to drive, my anxiety was on a 1,000 if I didn’t.

Technically it is illegal. Even if you have a medical card. Impaired is DUI no matter the source. The same as taking pain meds and driving.

Smoking weed and driving had never been a problem for me or my husband. We dont get blitz and go drive but we can smoke a bowl between us and still drive and function just fine. It’s safe than taking prescription drugs and driving… and people do that legally.

I read a study once / don’t know if it’s accurate. It said normal weed smokers had no more higher rate of accidents. New weed smokers did have a slightly higher rate ………

I smoke and drive and the same time and in my country its not legalised here you’d think it was the way I blatantly smoke in public :laughing:

Well he’s an idiot and irresponsible.

I get into the car with a smoker every day but I won’t drive with someone who’s been drinking. If I dont know the person or how smoking makes them react. Then I wouldn’t but, smoking weed is safer than the anxiety meds they have me taking.

Smoking and drinking are two different things. If you have one beer don’t drive. Im a smoker because smoking makes me chill compared to the shitty drunk feeling. I’d rather someone smoke and drive , compared to someone drink and drive.

Weed doesn’t effect people like that. So yea it’s fine to smoke and drive

Do you drive after taking your medications? Well you are guilty of DUI. Blood pressure meds, anxiety meds, etc all impair your ability to drive.

Smoking and driving means he is DUI. We can tell. There are tests. He’s lucky to not be arrested yet. If he keeps it up, his luck will eventually run out. His driving doesn’t have to be bad. Plenty of people get pulled over for things like lights, plate stickers, etc. Someone could crash into him and, even though it’s not his fault, the officer who responds will probably recognize it and put him through the drug tests anyway. Seems like a pretty big gamble.

Everyone will defend driving impaired until they actually have to witness the aftermath of lives ruined by this careless act. The ones lost, the families and friends affected by the loss as well as the person who made the bad decision to do it in the first place. Its all :broken_heart: The man I know who went through this killed his wife and they had done this 1000+times before… She was willing and informed… It was just another get together for them… Until that animal came from nowhere and his abilities were so impaired that he reacted poorly and decapitated her​:sob: He lost his wife, love of his life, his kids (they were hers from a previous marriage and they didn’t have the right paperwork in order plus he ended up going to prison within a few years so he couldn’t have kept them anyway), his entire life and everything he ever cared about/ worked for, and probably the saddest part of it all, he never got his sanity back​:pensive: His kids never spoke to him again… He had a water accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down a handful of years later and his son only then called to tell him he was glad God was punishing him for what he did to his mother​:cry: And this is 1 of at least 10 messed up A** stories i know of ppl who’s lives were literally never, ever the same… From victims who never walk again, to teens who never get to experience life, all the way to the ppl who drove and can’t sleep a decent night again, even 20-30+ years later​:broken_heart: I seriously CANNOT BELIEVE how many mothers are on here defending impaired driving. Oh but let your kids be the ones to die and you’ll be the leader of the local MADD chapter then though​:roll_eyes: This is exactly WHY we educate!!! I truly hope ya’ll at least have the sense to not be spouting this dumb crap to your kids​:face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I have too much anxiety if I don’t smoke and I’m much better at checking mirrors and stuff if I smoke. I was in many car accidents before I started smoking. However I wouldn’t want to drive drunk.

I’ve always driven while smoking weed but it literally helps my anxiety it’s when I’m sober I drive lil out there but I’m also super short and the sunvisor doesn’t work for me

Hell weed just make ya a lil paranoid, so the worst that’ll happen is driving too slow! Lol :joy:

Smoking while driving to me is a no no unless you’re almost home but if he smokes at home I can almost guarantee he won’t drive until he’s certain he can bc driving high can be just as bad or worse than a terribly bad acid trip. (I speak from experience) In my experience, people who smoke weed and drive (or participate in any kind of social events) use marijuana as a maintenance drug for depression anxiety and things like that. If your SO is getting absolutely blowed and joy riding or something similar, that’s an indication that he’s probably trying to get away or escape (again, been there) from the day to day monotony. Maybe recommend therapy or try talking it out.

So many medications technically you shouldn’t drive on either, but that doesn’t stop any of you. I’ve struggled with anxiety/panic attack’s my whole life also I’ve been on tons of different medications for it. Some of which I really wouldn’t recommend driving on what so ever but know people that do daily. My point is I’d rather get in a vehicle with someone who smoked weed for their anxiety truthfully. But then again weed affects everyone differently I personally cannot smoke, I completely hate the way it makes me feel and I personally wouldn’t get behind the wheel. I also don’t drive because of my anxiety much to begin with so that’s just me lol

My boyfriend does it. I think it’s irresponsible first of all because if they get pulled over in a state where it’s illegal that’s already an issue. Also being under the influence is irresponsible because it puts the driver and others at risk.

That highly depends on the person and their current as well as past marijuana consumption.

Personally, as a heavy user, my fiancé REFUSES to get in the car when I’m driving UNLESS I just smoked a bowl. He says when I’m sober I drive too fast and I have WAY too much road rage. :sweat_smile::woman_shrugging:t3::upside_down_face:
I’m a more considerate driver stoned.

Him on the other hand would NEVER drive high. Not after even one hit because he’s not a regular user and it affects his reaction time and concentration. I ALWAYS drive if he has smoked that day at all, and sometimes even if he’s smoked the day before and is still groggy.
