Being high off of weed affects your sense of judgement and slows your reaction time. I'd say it slows it more than when you're drunk actually.

Driving slowly while other traffic is going faster is more of a danger on the road than going as fast or a little faster than traffic.

I am speaking from my experience. If I am piss drunk, I can't or will not drive. When I use to smoke I could smoke 2 blunts be tired but drive just fine. I wouldn't say I drove slow just 55 right at the speed limit and I was more aware of what was going on around me being paranoid about cops.

Some drunks think that their balls get huge and they are invincible hence bar fights and sloppy drunks talking trash when they normally wouldn't it or they think it gives them balls till they get knocked the F out by a sober dude.

Weed doesn't do anything like that. I have seen MANY agressive drunks and people that drive more agressive when they are drunk.

Never seen this with weed. Regardless both are stupid. I retract my statement go smoke instead of drink.


But here look at this, they take a guy get him high as a kite and have him drive on a road course.

Look how he does.

Now google road tests when someone drinks, they are MUCH MUCH different.


EDIT the vid doesn't work you can google it. But here is what they say after the test.

It’s not the most scientifically sound piece of research on the planet, but it does illustrate the point that maybe driving while stoned isn’t as dangerous as everyone makes it out to be. The consensus is that a healthy dose of paranoia after smoking generates increased concentration in the driver. On the flip side, driving while drunk makes your more liable to take risks.

The bottom line is that everyone has a different threshold. The host also suggests a form of test that figures out how much herb someone has smoked. Good luck with that.
