In reply to the discussion: Don't smoke pot, drive -- you're twice as likely to crash [View all]Jennicut
(25,415 posts)77. Kind of obvious, isn't it?
Don't drink, do pot, drop acid, take lots of prescription drugs, do crystal meth, etc. Also, don't drive with low blood sugar if you are a diabetic. I did that once without knowing it and almost passing out behind the wheel is scary. Always check your levels before you drive. Lesson was learned.
And don't get in the car with stoned/drunk people. That lesson was quickly learned in college. Tell your kids a thousand times until it seeps into their heads. I did my share of pot in my early 20's, it was just in a basement with my brother. No cars.

Just hire a driver like I did. Plus you get to stretch out in the back seat and stuff.

People shouldn't drive if they don't truly understand the rules of the road.

I only smoke pot in the privacy of my own home, generally right before bed.

Much like studies illustrating that driving while intoxicated are to make people reiterate...
