Pro-marijuana group says some drivers may be safer 'stoned' [AU]

Pro-marijuana group says some drivers may be safer 'stoned'
November 1, 2005 - abc.net.au

A northern NSW organisation that wants marijuana legalised says long-term users are more likely to drive more safely while under the influence than if they are forced to go without the drug.

A new study has revealed many cannabis users often drive after using the drug, which increases the risk of crashes.

It also revealed the only deterrent to driving stoned was police roadside testing.

But Michael Balderstone from the Nimbin Hemp Embassy says it was hard to test the responses of drivers because cannabis affects people differently.

"I don't know what to think about it and it hasn't come near us yet," he said.

"If they put saliva testing outside Nimbin we'd all be riding horses. There are a lot of people who smoke pot fairly regularly, now how long [does] it stay in your blood ? How long after a joint can you drive?

"All these things are relevant and there needs to be real research and education on it, but the big catch is people who are used to driving stoned will be more dangerous if they're not stoned in many cases."

I drive high just fine. And it's true what they say, I take less risks, stop for questionable yellow lights, and am in general an extremely safe driver.

I gotta say, the first time I drove a car I was taking my friends parents benz on a burn ride. Regardless of how much experience I've had, and even though my record is better high than sober...I still feel highly uncomfortable behind the wheel when I am high, and I believe that lack of comfort could be detrimental w/in itself to my driving.

but as they stated, we all react differently

I think this would only apply to people that smoked pot everyday for years and years. I know a guy who smoked for about 40 years, and he always gets high before long road trips. He hasn't had a serious ascendant once in his life.
Personally I notice people are slower and more patent when stoned, even if their reflexes aren't quiet as good.
