Haha it's yet another pris#1 patented trademark line-by-line breakdown! Let's battle!

It doesn't contribute to anything if I never crash while high.

Some people have the shakes when they don't have a few beers. Again real life situations occur. If your boss is a drunk and he's your ride to work.
Is it a gamble? Of course it is, but so is being born my friend.

There's no point in saying something is safe because it's relatively safe to other stupid shit people do. It's something you can easily do to make the road a safer place, and you're selfish to do otherwise.

I dont drive when I'm high, it's stupid and can contribute to accidents not to mention that when cops smell weed on you it gives them probable cause

Please add "I give a shit about safety on the road." option on your biased poll. thanks.
You're again avoiding the point by making it clear that lots of people do the same dangerous things as you. We know that already.

I won't smoke while driving because 1.) I am not sure about my driving capabilities while intoxicated 2.) I don't want to be pulled over and have the cop smell smoke 3.) I can wait until I get home before I smoke.

So, how long do you wait after smoking pot before you'll drive?
If you smoke a joint in the morning, will you drive in the afternoon?
Where do you draw the line?
If I'm SUPER STONED I dont drive.
But if I smoke a couple of hits and I just have a small buzz I never think twice about driving because I know I'm not really impaired.
I weighed the consequences and found them to be trivial.
Not once in my entire life have I ever heard someone say "Hey, you're too high to drive, gimme the keys".
This just seems ridiculous and petty to me. It's easy to talk all saintly online, but in practice I wonder how many people get high during the day and also drive during the day?
Plenty of Shroomerites do, because it's not the big deal you guys are making it out to be. You're just saying all this to promote your "saintly stoner" images.
I'm a realist, I deal with life as it really is.
edit: And as far as getting high in the car that's a completely seperate issue which deals not as much with road safety as it does with legal security.
I usually don't get high in the car, but since the penalty for pot (under 1oz) where I am is just a fine, unless I have something else in the car I have been known to smoke a joint from time to time going down the road.
Hey, at least I'm honest.

"Where do you draw the line?

Well, good. You weren't really making yourself clear before. Of course there' a line. And if you're putting good effort to know where that line is, it's a totally different matter.
"I'm a realist, I deal with life as it really is." Life is what you make of it, especially in situations like this. You're in control of the decision, it doesn't just happen.
"You're just saying all this to promote your "saintly stoner" images." You're again ignoring the fact that some people care about road safety. True, some also care about the negative image associated with marijuana. By replacing the word "responsible" with "saintly" you do a good job of stirring up a neat dramatic effect.
"edit: And as far as getting high in the car that's a completely seperate issue which deals not as much with road safety as it does with legal security."
Well, that's what the thread was initially all about. I'd say it deals with both.

people that drink and drive swear they arent impaired as well, yet you admit that smoking a little does in fact give you a buzz which is in fact a mild intoxication

who's talking saintly asside from you, we're talking about 'responsible'

so just because everyone is doing it it's the proper thing to do, I bet that must hold true for killing innocent people by shooting up fast food joints and shopping malls, "but officer, everyone else is doing it"

Hey, at least I'm honest.
lighting a pipe in the car is dangerous, especialy at night when you sustain a momentary moment of blindness, it requires 2 hands to light most of them now. your non-safety issue doesnt hold water.
you're also misguided and irresponsible, thats two against one

BTW, the reason I use the term "saintly" is because through the years of reading post after post of stoners claiming to excercise waaaaay more restraint than I see every day in the real life stoners and Shroomerites that I know, it just gives me the same impression.
"Saintly image" means talking a much higher talk than is realistic for people to actually walk in real life, and then judging others based on their performance.
This sort of thing usually just ends up creating a well-oiled, (cooperative among themselves) group of hypocrites and liars that uphold this golden image they created, talk plenty, and then don't even walk that same walk themselves, but walk much like everbody else anyway.
The lesson? Give people a break and quit trying to make everyone else conform.

Okay, but there's nothing unrealistic about not smoking while high. A "saintly" pro legalization person, for instance, might never ever smoke pot until the day it's legalized for the purpose of marijuana fans being regarded as respectful of the law. That would be unrealistic.

In a perfect world, no-one would drive high..
Never driving while high is unrealistic for most of us though I think.
Have you ever driven over to pick up a bag at someone else's pad and they lit up a joint? What did you do? Did you smoke it or did you say "Sorry man, but I never drive a car high and you should know better than to even offer."?
I have never seen someone turn down weed because of driving. Alcohol yes, weed no.
This forum seems to be the only place where people who never drive high even exist. That's all I'm saying.
Can't expect everyone to be perfect.
