Then they had us up against the wall
Hey it’s only blood grain alcohol
And there ain’t no cause for alarm
We ain’t out to do nobody no harm
How could anyone be so unkind
To arrest a man for drivin’ while blind

My experience as a non smoker and observer is, pot heads aren’t ever really sober. You can’t tell, because it is like a drunk who drinks a beer for breakfast, a shot with coffee, pitcher of beer at lunch, a shot bottle at break time, and all night while at home. So it is with “casual smokers”.

Some potheads can do anything stoned, even a job interview. Others can’t leave the house or do anything...usually the rookies. So yes, thc can be dangerous for driving.

Driving on shrooms

1974 we picked a grocery bag of fresh from the cow patty Baldwin county finest

Split fresh six ways finished down with soft drinks

Three of us immediately drove down to fort Morgan rd

One of us fam had a stilt house at mile marker 19

As we left gulf shores which was only a few blocks a deputy got on the ass of our 69 lemans gt

He rode my ass all the way out to the house

When we pulled in he put his spotlight on three long hairs and laughed

Then to make it worse the guys architect dad was there and wasn’t supposed to be

He made us pronto we were so cooked

I could make sense but one of us a Robert plant Goldilocks lookalike just babbled

Then we went out the dunes to skinny dip at shark eating time

And back then dunes there were very high and we’d see sidewinder micro species rattler trails

By daybreak we finally could get some sort of pseudo sleep

Driving while tripping every car is a cop in your paranoia and sometimes it is

The UK has a saliva test which screens for metabolites of opioids and cannabis. If you fail that, it’s off to the nick for a blood test.

The first time I got high was in the backseat of my brothers car. It must’ve been some pretty good stuff because I’m an only child.

From what I’ve heard it’s about as safe as driving drunk.

1974, a great year.
first full moon in june
fl gulf coast before 75 came all the way down.
cattle country east of US 41
picked a black plastic garbage bag full
fresh dried tea smoked
spent the summer on the beach just imagining what the clouds were really.
Good times, the girls in cut off jean shorts and AIDS hadn’t come to America yet.
The hippies had it right, Make Love not War

I guess one way to answer the question is to look at overall traffic accident statistics in states which have recently legalized the recreational use of pot. My state is one of those, and I smell the odor of it literally everywhere, including on the highway. If being high on pot made one a bad driver, I would expect to see more accidents from careless driving now as compared to before, but so far, I do not.
