Yes, an accidents caused by pot need to be hidden by the public, so the government promote it.

Well, I also survived. It was, we claimed, a lot safer than driving drunk, because we did tend to slow way down, hearing (we thought) all sorts of mechanical mayhem telling us that the motor was about to blow.

The “seven miles an hour” story actually happened to a motorcycle road-racing buddy I knew fairly well in the ‘60s. It was 12 miles an hour on Storrow Drive in Boston, and I thought it was a hoot, since on the racetrack he was a good deal faster than I was.

...they always like to mention "the first in their family to go to college," people near me are"the first in their family to own a car."

...and they aren't as smart as the donkey who used to lead the cart around for them.

Where do you live? I have never smelled pot on any of my walks.

You could be high on pot and driving perfectly, but if some other driver hits you you will be in big trouble. That happened to a friend of mine.

When pulled over, I can say I’m licensed to Fly.

A friend in San Diego was a CFI. He was late to his teaching appointment and was pulled over for speeding. The officer asked for his pilot's license. Under FAA rules, when law enforcement asks for a pilot's license (and you have one), you are supposed to produce it. He did. The cop wasn't amused. He was arrested for not producing his driver's license. Subsequently the charges were thrown out when he demonstrated he complied with the FAA requirements and the law enforcement officer's request. Ignorance of the law on the part of the LEO.

I’m a survivor too. The good old dayz. Leave work get into your car dig around for a roach in the ashtray, light up and drive home at 25 mph. 😉

When you are behind the wheel of the car your only job is to keep the car on the road and not run into anything.

Richard: I’ve been a pot head for almost 60 years, and I can’t always tell when someone is high. My wife says she can’t tell when I’m high

That might be because she's never seen you when you weren't high.

I tended to think I had a flat tire.

Frankly speaking from SWIM

ALCOHOL big no no if buzzed

Barbiturates are worse

Valium not so bad in small doses

Quaaludes with booze is super danger Will Robinson

Opiates in moderate dose are manageable

Any psychedelics at balls walls ingestion is fine if you can manage space craft speeding along in a Dali landscape

Marihuana products in moderate levels are ok but heavy indica stone best not advised and concentrates can definitely debilitate

Caffeine

I consume 4-600mg a day

It’s great but has a crash

I tend to gulp it down

Get the awake buzz but an hour later I’m ready to rinse and repeat

These people are worried about pot when we have a president of the United States who continuously falls down in public, slurs his words routinely and clearly has some degree of dementia. What a joke.

And drug testing? Did you know teachers, judges, presidents, Congress, the Senate, and cops are not subjected to random drug tests, yet the poor slob stocking shelves at the local home Depot is subjected to this and nonsense?
