Don't drive

[Dank]

Just one of those theories so please bear with me :

Fact 1- MJ impairs short term memory, right? If only temporarily so.

Fact 2- Can you tell how much time passes by accurately while stoned?(with out looking at a clock of course) Probably not. One minute can seem like an hour.

This is because short term memory and discerning how much time has gone by are related, which leads to:

Fact 3- Telling time is dependant on short term memory.

So, if your short term memory is shot because your high, you can't tell time, so how can you judge the speed of an object, for example a car moving towards you? Remeber that speed is distance traveled over time, or: s=d/t.

You CAN tell the distance of a car moving toward you, but you CAN'T calculate at what rate the car is closing in on you, that is the distance it covered in a certain period of time. The speed of the car.

Will it take a second to hit you, or five, or ten?? You can't say because you cant tell 1 second from 5 or 10.

So, in conclusion stoned people tend have a really hard time judging the speed of moving objects. Stay in a real slow moving environment while smoking, and stay away from cars.

Subject open for debate

I drive high a lot, it's not that bad. It fucks up your depth perception and your sense of time as you mentioned, I notice that driving down my street seems to take forever. It's all about keeping focused, if you can keep your head in the game and not in the music (which you are undoubtedly listening to if you're blazed) it's all cool. If you're fucked up to the point of not wanting to move or anything, then you shouldn't have left the place you smoked.

I don't know. I'm a pretty good driver, both sober and stoned. What makes driving stoned different is that I, personally, can panic if I don't keep myself focused and calm. But of course, then again, I was driving tricky, single lane roads at 55 with oncoming head lights.

I'm in Sacramento, so it's very common to see people going 35 down residential, neighborhood streets. I loved visiting my family in Fallon, Nevada (a town just an hour east of Reno) because the speed limits of their two main portions of roads (there are only two main roads) is 25 or 35. I was smokin' a joint and no trouble driving at all.

Uh... anyways... ???

Be responsible... we all know limits, and what we really 'should' do.
