Once I was driving "high", I thought I was going a million miles an hour....

That is something I never experienced. I know that other people have different experiences.

I was driving cross country, flowing with traffic, when I crossed the OK line, from IN. I was in the right lane, behind two cars. As I approached a slight rise (I couldn't see over it), the lead car slowed from the 70 mph were were legally driving. I started left, but as I topped the rise, saw a trooper preparing to pull out. I whipped it back in behind the lead car, with another following me.

The cop came screaming out, and cut into in behind me, and hit his lights to pull me. I had been toking shortly before, so I had rolled down the windows, hopefully clearing the air. OK is not friendly to anybody, much less pot smokers.

I talked with him, and asked why he decided to pull me. He told me he thought I had been a little wreckless, when I pulled back into my lane. I explained that I was trying to give him an opportunity to pull out, and assured him that I had indeed been driving legally. I pointed to my GPS, and told him I had a complete record of my speed. After checking my license, he told me to be careful and I headed west again. That was the last time I drove stoned!

I know that I had been driving safely, and had had no lane drifts, nor any other driving errors. I just felt I did not need to take the chance! I have never been in jail, and don't wannabe!!!

I seldom smoke it anymore. I have friends that do it regularly. I can hit one any time I wish. Most are people who lead the community, and most of them own their own businesses. They contribute far more than they get back. Yet, they are considered second class citizens by people like the critics herein, because they smoke for their buzz, rather than imbibe!

The law is based on bad perceptions, and even outright lies. The FReeper's that criticize so highly have no more information except the propaganda against it. They are pretty good at quoting the law, but don't have any idea of the reality! I think the term "sheeple" fits quite well!

I am a rowdy friend that settled down. Not that it was'nt fun. I still could. I am just at a point where losing all the things I have accumulated is not as much fun as what could happen while getting caught driving high. I agree about the law and how the propaganda machine throwing out bad perceptions.

Where I live in Switzerland, there is a more relaxed approach towards burnin'. People are not looked down upon and thought of being on step away from being a junki for doing it and they are not a hero if they dont.
