Ryan T Wrote:They actually had a segment on the speed channel a week or so ago about driving under the influence of marijuana since no real tests have been done. They had a guy stop a car as close to a white line as possible, drive through a slalom that went through a turn and then park in a very tight parking space. He did it while straight and knocked over two cones in the parking segment, averaging a speed of about 25-30mph through the whole course.
He then smoked a joint and did it again and performed the same tests at 25-30mph and didn't knock over any cones. He said the marijuana made him pay more attention to what he was doing. They found no ill effects on a persons driving while under the influence of marijuana.
Am I saying that it doesn't affect your driving? No, I'm merely reporting the results of an experiment I saw.
I remember reading this somwhere... A similar experiment was done with alcohol. One beer actually improved driving performance, but more than one started impairing things...

i could see where one joint or one beer would help you pay more attention, but after that i'm sure sh!t would start going down hill, would be interesting if someone would actually do a full fledge study on this...

I'm up for it! Just point me to the track! Uh... your car though. :mrgreen:

one joint is sufficient for the experiment. Getting high isn't like alcohol where the more you do the more and more and more f'ed up you get. If you smoked a whole joint to the face you'd be just as high as if you smoked 2 joints to the face. I've smoked 8 blunts to the face then drove perfectly fine, marijuana does not effect your driving as long as you've smoked for a while, the first few times though you might drive 1/2 the speed limit hahaha.

to the face? wtf does that mean? as opposed to to the butt?

:!:
yeah, I'd kind of like to give you 8 blunts to the face for driving after that! :x
Sorry, but there's almost no drug that doesn't affect your ability to drive. I can't say how much it hindered you, but I can't imagine that neither your reaction time nor judgement suffered.
where's that 'ban him' pic....

I don't think there is any reason for this to get into a who has smoked what thread... lets keep topics like this to ourselves. thanks.
- Feersty - 01-12-2005
yeah this has gotten a little bit ridiculous.

This thread needs to be re-named
The Moronic Thread of Uninformed Retardation
that should adequately describe all the shit flying around in this thread.
