After 55 years experience I can proffer that your average stoned driver is not near the danger a drunk or impaired driver is to others

Not that we need either on the road

And like booze it’s a matter of degrees

I never had any issue driving stoned (this is decades old)

Folks here who’ve never smoked don’t realize the difference

However there are degrees and someone so stoned it’s bordering on tripping should obviously not drive

Honestly it’s impossible to explain what THC is like to those who’ve never smoked
It’s unique and in mild consumption it’s pleasant to probably 90% who try it

I stress mild strength for virgins

Not high grade indoor or concentrates

Most people I know smoke and I’m 67 in November and in the actual south

Some daily most nightly

I know folks 80 who smoke and have since Woodstock or Vietnam
Nearly everyone I know is conservative pro Trump

I quit 30 years ago it just quit fitting in to my life

But I know the industry

Anyhow it’s simply not the devil drug it’s portrayed by some here in general

The negative impacts of booze in our culture dwarf that of weed

Worst I’ve seen of heavy weed use is laziness procrastination and the occasional panic attack

Heavy dose concentrates are def a risk for all but heavy users

Light dose concentrates and edibles are a decent route though for those worried about their lungs

Were I to smoke I prefer a joint of medium high grade sativa dominant

Sativa is more stimulating

Indica is more couch lock and twinkies

I’ve seen weed and alcohol abuse up close around me

I can deal with an apathetic lazy stoner any day over a daily drunk

Not even close

One last caveat on weed

I’ve come to believe high test weed products much like psychedelics have the possibility to trigger psychosis in folks with existing mental disease like adult onset schizophrenia

But I couch that saying I know someone who is precisely that and lives on the drug abilify which is an anti psychotic and they always have a thc vape pen around

And they have a huge trump sign in their yard

Weed is good for sex it should be noted no question of that unlike booze which raises testosterone in women which is nice but can be sloppy
Pot tends to intensify the senses if that makes sense used moderately for that
