Is he smoking with kids in the car ? If not i don’t see why not. It doesn’t impair your driving

I think it’s a DUI and it’s stupid, reckless, immature, and inconsiderate of others
Regardless of weed or booze, it shouldn’t be done behind the wheel

As a consumer of marijuana it all comes down to how high and how it affects said person. If he makes no mistakes then he’s not under the influence. I wish people would stop using that as an excuse because as someone who’s smoked for over 10 years I’ve never had an accident while high or gotten a ticket. Being sober I’ve had several accidents. It helps my nerves when I drive. I don’t speed or drive crazy. So all I’m saying is it depends on that person and how it effects them. Also who else is in the car at the time too

Weed definitely does not effect a person like alcohol. It doesn’t cause us to have blurred vision or anything however it can slow down ur response. Like if a car pulls out in front of him it would take him a couple seconds longer to slam on the breaks

It doesn’t affect you like alcohol does. I have smoked 35+yrs. I smoke & do everything including drive. Never have gotten ticket. Nor busted. It’s my medicine. I don’t take meds & have multiple health problems. Yes ppl can smoke & drive.

Weed effects everyone differently. I personally would never drive after smoking but I know others who have done it just fine for years.
Regardless of that he can still get hit with a DUI if they catch him so

The number of Marijuana deaths in 2020 is 0 meanwhile the number of alcohol related deaths is roughly around 95,000. Id rather have a driver under the influence of Marijuana vs alcohol but thats my personal opinion.

I agree with those who say it all depends on tolerance… I’ve been smoking for 16 years and don’t get really “high” anymore but it definitely helps my anxiety and pain. There’s people driving around in Vicodin, oxycodone, etc and to me that’s worse…

I have medical cannabis. I am not allowed to smoke and drive. They say to wait until you feel ok again. Some ppl that’s a few hours. I have a high tolerance so I am usually ok after 30 min or so.

Still a big fat DUI that remains on your record for life. You’ll be pulled a lot more often if they run your plates at random. Not worth it to me.

When I was a teen I smoked weed and drove… I’ll be honest I’m surprised The passengers and I survived… never did it again. 2 drinks over 4 hours is absolutely nothing compared to smoking and driving. At least in my experience…

Weed isn’t the same as alcohol. Weed affects everyone differently. That being said, driving under the influence, is still driving under the influence. No matter what, regardless how it effects said person, or how high their tolerance is. If pulled over, and the officer can tell that the person has blood shot eyes, or glossy eyes etc, they will most likely receive a driving while under the influence.

For some people smoking weed gives them a “clearer” perspective and actually might help where alcohol does the complete opposite. Some people only smoke enough to “relax” and some use it for pain, but true weed/marijuana won’t distort things for everyone.
Weed and liquor effects are not the same in my opinion

I used to smoke weed and I would bullshit myself and my loved ones saying I need it for my “anxiety” it helped me think clearer and calm down. BULLSHIT. I finally stopped lying to myself and just quit. I didn’t have any withdrawals or anything. And believe me I tried quitting many times and justified why I relapsed such as “withdrawals” or “stress” or now I’m just smoking to relax or it’s just like drinking a beer and it is all lie. I know it’s natural and stuff I even used to say it’s not that bad because of it being natural but you still don’t need it at all.

Driving after having 2 STANDARD drinks over 4 hours is legal… the alcohol in your system would most likely be negligible and definitely under the limit. Driving while stoned is not

I disagree with him. My husband and I argued about this. I refused to allow him to have the kids in the car when he was/had been smoking. Now this was 2009 and before so that pot was the kind that chilled him out, not this hyped up stuff kids smoke now with 6x more THC in it.

So when you’re under the influence anything that causes new reaction and times are not good until you know how you react. I can understand though if you put a rule that he cannot smoke before there are children in the car because it’s not just his life at stake but others
I have very high end anxiety so smoking decreases that for me but on the other hand it also slows down my reaction time for example I have sat at green lights and that apparently pisses off other people

If he gets caught driving while high and the kids are in the car, that’s an automatic call to CPS by LEOs. Just a heads up.

I think it really depends on how high he gets. But I don’t really see a problem with driving while being high.
The drinking I agree with🤷🏼♀️
If one is taking anything that alters one’s state of mind…and weed does, then one shouldn’t be behind the wheel of anything.

It’s still driving under the influence. Marijuana slows down your reaction time and even where it it legal (I love in Canada, so it’s legal here) it is still illegal to drive while under the influence of weed. I smoke CBD for anxiety, so I have nothing against smoking it. And cbd weed doesn’t have the same “high” as weed with thc… but I would still never drive after smoking. It’s wrong.
I think that Marijuana and alcohol affect people differently. I have never been so high i stumbled walking but I’ve been so drunk that I have. I dont think they are the same thing. But they are both illegal, but morally I dont see anything wrong with it

If you’re someone who smokes weed regularly, you can probably drive pretty well while high, just like a functioning alcoholic would be able to drive OK while drunk. Doesn’t mean either should be on the road. You get in an accident or get pulled over and no one’s going to care that you thought you were OK to drive

How I see it is, if it’s worth getting your license potentially taken, car getting towed, paying towing fee, possible job loss, no way to work, and fines, bail… then by all the means drive. But if you value any of this and you respect your wife/ husband asking you not too, then you won’t. It’s not about weather you CAN or not. It’s should you.

It’s a catch 22 in my opinion… there’s always a risk of copping a DUI even with weed (literally just happened to my friend and she wasn’t even smoking at the time)… buuuut most people are just fine driving high, it’s definitely not the same as driving drunk. Although personally, I do not like to drive high, it’s out of my personal comfort zone but my husband on the other hand is honestly a better driver after smoking and I never feel uncomfortable in the car with him lol… it’s just different for everyone I think
