Does anyone have any opinions about MJ and its effects on your driving ability? Is it as bad as driving after heavy drinking?

A study by the USDOT in the 80s IIRC showed little to no impairment.
A study done a couple of years ago by the British govt. showed that (believe it or not) it acutally improved driving ability.
Feel free to google for them, they are out there.
It's been much debated, but the official opinion about this is that (completely the opposite of drinking and driving) MJ drivers recognize that they are impaired and so they slow down and pay close attention to what they are doing, even more so that if they were sober.
Now I am by no means recommending that people smoke and drive (hell no!) but it is something to think about. Especially when you consider that the average sober driver seems to habitually have one hand on their cell phone and the other on a Big Mac...

My problem is the hypocrisy. I just can't stand watching poor people like this teacher get crucified by our legal system with the full (hell, zealous and enthuiastic) support of an otherwise apathetic populace that habitually stops at the bar for a couple drinks on their daily drive home from work.Originally posted by: SampSon
On a side note, I'm not sure why anyone here trys to change anyone elses mind on here.
Thoes who understand why drug laws are ridiculous know. Thoes who don't understand, don't know and probably don't want to know.
Many people view drug use as black and white, which is why people like this teacher get cruxified.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) - A high school teacher in Galveston faces marijuana possession charges after police say drug-sniffing dogs on campus led officers to his classroom desk.
Twenty-five-year-old Stakely McConnell is a Spanish teacher at Ball High School.
School police chief LeeRoy Amador says the drug dogs were doing a routine campus sweep Tuesday when they detected something in McConnell's desk.
No drugs were found inside the desk. Instead, the dogs smelled papers that had a marijuana odor -- an odor authorities say was transferred from McConnell's hands.
Amador said McConnell admitted to smoking pot over the weekend and that police later found a marijuana in his car.
School officials don't believe any students were involved in the alleged drug use.
McConnell is now on administrative leave. He faces one misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.

The Police will be coming through the school with drug sniffing dogs to inspect the lockers and anyone found with drugs will be promptly arrested". Knowing that I had a nice bag of ganja and a glass pipe on me I figure I'm proper ******. So they do this for an hour or so and eventually let us out. The sign that you were found to have drugs was that your locker would be open and all of your stuff removed. That was the sign to report to the office and get your ass arrested.
So I get to my locker and I find that it's still locked tight, but all the other lockers around mine are open and empty. Dodged a bullet on that one.

Because he's a school teacher? You think they give that job to just anyone who walks off the street?

yeah i know. it does not change what i said. He is a idiot for bringing stuff related to smoking illegal drugs to school.
and he was not using them to role his own tobacco either.

Wait, papers, as in paperwork, as in 8.5 x 11" sheets of tests, outlines, schoolwork and so, are "drug related"? Everyone's assuming that the "papers" are tobacco paper, but from the article it sounds like plain ol' copy paper or something.

Another moral of the story: Make sure your locker has adequate venting in order to allow the aroma of the weed to flow into your neighbors locker.Originally posted by: JulesMaximus

you are correct. i was just assuming it was rolling papers.
I totally agree with you. Though I've recently stopped getting so worked up when someone else doesn't understand. It's simply not worth the stress (which kills by the way) You can't drill it into their heads, you can't provide them with enough facts and you can't expect them to change their opinion immediately if ever.Originally posted by: Vic

The fsckin' evil hypocrisy of it all. Quite frankly, it just pisses me off. I think that maybe they deserve a few years getting pounded up the ass by Bubba for doing something that everyone else does.
You know how you can tell a sick totalitarian society? When the only real law is: don't get caught.
