I never had a problem with driving after smoking until recently. I feel like I start having tunnel vision or something when I start driving. I absolutely will not drive after drinking any amount especially since becoming a mother.
Definitely depends on the person but if they get pulled over either way it can be a dui. It can be one even if he really isn’t high but they request a blood sample and it’s in his blood still I personally learned to drive stoned and I have high anxiety so I drive better stoned because I’m calmer.
It def depends on their tolerance. The first few times you smoke it will have a drunk like effect on you just in the sense of you won’t be really paying that much attention.
HOWEVER after the first few times you smoke, if you are a regular THC consumer you just build a tolerance and it becomes the equivalent of smoking a cigarette it it doesn’t even get you as stoned you just are relaxed a person with a tolerance to THC is zero danger driving stone, it’s the people who haven’t smoked before that should not
I don’t do it. I wouldn’t personally do it. There is nothing more important than my kids life. I wouldn’t risk it. To each their own
It’s okay to drive stoned if you can handle it. It’s not okay to drink and drive because it impairs you. Weed slows you down but Ive absolutely been more aware stoned I have add. It helps me pay attention.
I’m not an expert. Just stay home or overnight there if he seems to be less than in command.
It’s still under the influence and illegal. No matter how “good” someone thinks they are at it.
A dui is a dui . He’s still driving under the influence even in states that it’s legal for recreational and medical use.
I would not recommend driving for first timers. You can black out and lose time if your tolerance isn’t up there. Not to mention, it is still considered a DUI.
If he wants that charge , that’s on him
I wouldn’t let my kids in the car with anyone who had taken any kind of mind altering substance.
Nope, same as drinking. And smoking it hits you fast. It’s intoxicated driving.
So is he okay with drinking and driving too?
I personally don’t mind the smoking of it but I don’t want anyone driving my kids or me while impaired in any form . Even pain pills why take the risk .
The number of uninformed, ignorant people on here is mind boggling…and I find it hilarious
I think it depends on the person. I can have a beer or two and drive, but I won’t drive after smoking. Lots of people do. I think just like anything else, be responsible enough to keep yourself and more so, others, safe.
Driving under the influence isn’t legal so no it’s not ok.
It’s still illegal so you shouldn’t drive stoned… if someone jumps out in front of you and you hit them, even if it’s there fault, you will be liable and probably go to jail for being under the influence of drugs. No matter how good you drive stoned or " better", still not worth losing your licence over OR going to jail
No it is still illegal even if your a legal state. It is a dui charge.
Judging by the way alot of people are driving I don’t think some of them should even be out there sober!!
I smoke it definitely impairs my driving so I don’t drive high, nor drink and drive
I mean everyone is different. Some people cant function while high, while other work while they’re high…
I dont see a problem with it. All those movie that show the people super stoned and doing stupid shit. Its really not like that at all. Drinking on the other hand, does change a lot about you. And that is definitely a no no. But smoking a joint, he is fine. As long as there is no kids in the car
Think you might need a puff to chill out
I mean I smoke and drive and have never had an issue. I don’t serve as if I were drunk I usually go under the speed limit a little bit and I’m more patient. The drinking however I agree with he’s not wrong on that thinking
I would rather be in a car with someone who smoked weed before I get in a car when someone had been drinking. It’s a lot safer being in a car with someone who smokes weed than someone who is drinking.
No you shouldn’t smoke and drive. My hubby smokes so I’m usually the dd because he won’t drive if he smokes.
Impaired is also different for each person. As a bartender, I see similar consumption in similar times and one person can pass a field sobriety test while another person is falling over. Asking the random public for advice is always cringeworthy to me because there are inevitably factors people don’t mention. Like if her husband has a huge tolerance for concentrates for example and hes smoking a joint, hes not any more impaired than that one drink per hour makes someone. Likewise, the people answering are answering based on their own experience with weed. So if they have a high tolerance, they’re gonna not see a problem and if they dont and one joint makes them pass out, they’re gonna see a problem. I’ve seen people smoke a couple hits before and be utterly lost and I’ve seen people smoke joint after joint and go about their normal day.
Assuming you don’t smoke? Because any smoker would know weed doesn’t effect your driving abilities. If anything, makes them better. It keeps me more alert and focused
Drinking and driving is different that’s definitely a no, but weed depends on how.it affects the person imo
In the past I have used edibles. 5-10mg/day gets me feeling pretty good and definitely helped with my anxiety and fibromyalgia pain. But I only used them on days I knew I wasn’t going to be driving. I knew for me at least they could have the ability to impair my driving so I never took them on days I had places to be. Everyone’s tolerance is different. Someone could eat a 5mg edible and be down for the count (like my brother, but that was his first time ever using). Someone could smoke an entire joint and be right as rain. I just never drove because I knew how they would effect me personally.
It depends if he gets impaired from it. Lots of people smoke to help.anxiety and calms them down. Depends on the person
Nope…no driving while stoned or drunk.
Smoking before driving, not a big deal if your a daily smoker. While driving is just asking to get pulled over
I personally wouldn’t smoke and drive cos I am pretty clumsy on my feel never mind behind a wheel that could cause an accident or kill my self or someone else but if I was to get in a car with someone that can handle weed and drive then sweet I’ll ride with them but not if they are badly stoned they can’t focus properly
I personally don’t know anyone that smokes weed and says, hey let’s go for a drive!!!lol
There’s not many of times I wasn’t stoned while driving. My driving record is clean and impeccable.
If you cannot function while high dont drive. But other people use weed as medication and don’t have any problem driving. Weed doesn’t impair me at all. It makes everything easier to do. So maybe get off his back about something that’s clearly not an issue to him and doesn’t effect you at all. Sounds like you need to smoke more.
My ex used to order an entire bottle of wine when we ate out. I had a small glass, he drank the rest but insisted on driving home. But insisted he wasn’t an alcoholic like both of his parents because we didn’t get into an accident.
Never drive under ANY influence, everyone thinks their fine until they get distracted for a second and kill an innocent person or persons! Or themself and leave a lot of people in grief
I dont smoke and drive but my boyfriend does and we’ve never had a wreck you drive the speed limit and kist cruise pretty much
Ones legal ones not, but as for not being able to drive safely he is fine.
I smoke n drive all the time honestly everyday thing. If he knows how to smoke n drive it’s not a big deal.
If you don’t know how to function on marijuana due to a low tolerance then I wouldn’t recommend driving at all. If you can function just fine and you have a high tolerance then I’d say you’d be fine to drive. It all depends on the person.
Impaired is impaired…not right…
I know of those who do .but I always think if something did happen even if not their fault because they are high they would be charged
Cannabis does not effect u the way alcohol does
My husband acts the same high or sober so for him yah he can drive
This is from far from being ok… What if he gets pulled over being high with the kiddos in the car? They will take ur kiddos away. I would tell him stop doing stupid shit and make sure your children are safe. He is putting everyone in danger…
Weed and beer are different , unless he is impaired and are tired wile smoking I see nothing wrong with it , but every has thear own opinions
I’m. He’s probably been doing it for years…
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in quite some time…
Smoking weed is nothing and I mean NOTHING like drinking…
I would do some research so you can educate yourself on this subject.
Alcohol destroys lives…
Still driving under the influence of something so it’s not okay
Smoking is absolutely nothing like drinking. Those two should not be compared
Your husband should let you hit the blunt so you can calm the hek down.
With weed, he’s still on drugs.
In my opinion drinking alcohol, especially liquor, impairs your driving way worse than smoking weed. With that said, You should NEVER drive impaired!
Smoking and driving is illegal in vt as well as driving under the influence. Everyone is affected differently by marijuana. I personally think if you’re going to smoke while driving be careful you don’t get caught and make sure that you personally are capable of driving while being stoned.
It is impaired driving! That’s not cool .
Driving when under the influence of any substances that can affect your reaction time is not OK. There are even certain prescription meds that have warnings on them about driving, and for good reason. It’s a massive risk.
And I can’t believe so many people are ok with it. It’s all fun and games until he does hurt someone or himself. Just like that one friend who’s ok with driving drunk because “I do it all the time.”
No Way should he drive under the influence. Just Dangerous!! They stop him will get DUI. The expense alone should stop him. Plus lost of license!
Its up to the person , if they want to take the risk of getting caught
I’m a much better driver when I smoke. I have ptsd and driving makes me anxious and I’ve even had a panic attack while driving and put my car in a ditch. Every person is different. Medical users are use to it. I usually drive slower and more cautiously . Each persons opinion will be different but I think personally it’s fine
I am your husband. I’ll smoke and drive all day but if you get behind the wheel after 1 drink I’m judging you
Definitely a no no however I do like to point out that alcohol makes you think that you can do things that you can’t, while weed makes you think you can’t do things that you can
2 drinks over 4 hours likely wont even register a warning, that’s some flawed ass logic
I’ve never had an issue. If anything, it helps me do the speed limit lol
