I was driving home the other night after smoking a decent amount of pot with one of my buddies. I had about a half an hour drive to go and looked in the mirror to realize my eyes were redder than usual. I got to wondering what would have happened if I got pulled over. I mean my driving ability really isn't affected when high. but it would look pretty obvious if he looked at my eyes.
could they subject you to a drug test if they think your high? if so would it be better to agree to one if the cop proposes it?

We have drug buses here in Aus. Im assuming you have alcohol breath tests over there? Yeah well we have them AND drug buses, so we are basically fucked if pulled over drunk, stoned, or on amphetamines.
Kinda sucks, but driving intoxicated is rather foolish so i guess its positive in some way.
Not sure if they can subject you to a drug test, but im sure they would find someway to fuck you over if you were obviously high.

A good friend of mine was recently pulled over for speeding. Found a bottle of open alcohol in the car, blood tested him, came up positive for THC.
He got a DWI for the THC. He wasn't even high, but he had smoked earlier that evening.

If they suspect that you are on any kind of drugs, they will probably take you to the station and give you a blood/urine test, if you are positive you WILL get a DUI. This is in Arizona, but I am pretty sure this is the same all over the US.
I can drive while stoned perfectly fine no matter anybody says. Actually I probably drive better stoned because I am way more careful to not get pulled over. Anyway, I don't usually get red eyes after smoking but if I do, Visine will take care of it.
I've actually been pulled over high on LSD and the cop had no idea, as long as you act cool the cop will most likely have no idea what is going on.

Yeah you can get a DWI for pot but its not a very common thing.. You have to be a fucken fuck up who dropped out of the 6th grade to be pulled over high and get caught for it with nothing on you..
I do know in the US its a felony to be under the influence of methamphetamine while driving.. So if you get caught with a meth pipe, meth and driving that is 3 felonys right there..

Wow Canada Rocks! I got pulled over by a ride program just put out a joint they didn't say a thing. Got pulled over doing 170 at 3 in the after noon smoking weed and some bob Marley just got a speeding ticket. Got pulled over doing 120 downtown smoking a joint cop found knives in my car no seat belt no rear license plate no speedometer got off cuz I showed him my school bag saying I'm going to be late for my classes. Then he asked what I was doing and I told him about my computer security classes and he let me go lol. Got pulled over by the O.P.P. Thats like a state trooper at 2 am in a flat black off road jeep on a highway with no lights on it at all they were broken and no I.d. Told him someone broke into my truck took my purse and papers shorted out the lights trying to steal my radio and left a some stink in the car lol i was smoking a huge joint. Me and my Buddie got pulled over and they were being dicks to him cuz it smelt like weed in the van. So i was like ya thats me and they were like naw it smells like there is a pound in the car And i was like ya thats me I smoke alto I just smoked a fattie he didn't touch it. They let us go.

you won't get pulled over for being stoned, if your driving ability isn't so affected as you say. you'd have to make some sort of mistake to get pulled over first. unless you're known for having the local "felony car"!
before i was medical i got pulled over right after smoking two joints but it was for not signaling long enough before turning (and the cop knew me from an incident the night before involving the so-called felony car)
i had 3 pipes laying between me and the passenger and i'm sure i must have looked stoned then he asked me if i'd been smoking at all and i told him not since in the morning (it was 11pm)
and then nothing really happened. i did get a ticket for not having a license, passenger got a ticket for having the weed in his pocket. i think i got way lucky though. i think my car was at least was supposed to been impounded.
in most places though, when you get your license you sign something saying that basically agrees that if pulled over and asked to take a breath or chemical test, you'll do it, and if you refuse the fines are bumped way up among other things..

I THINK that in Canada they can't really take you away for DUI if it's pot-related. There is no "legal limit" as to how much pot has to be flowing through your blood for you to be officially intoxicated. I've heard that they had to let a guy drive away after giving him a caution to appear in court, cause he was smoking the joint as he was getting pulled over. If they were going to piss/blood test you, you'd have a pretty solid argument in court that the positive test could have been from any of the last 2 months of cannabis use.
However, I've been hearing that there's this goofball at the local university that's close to inventing a way to test for cannabis intoxication, and will probably patient it up and send it out to D/\_|>0|_1C3

I know a guy who got a DUI for weed. He got pulled over shortly after smoking for driving erratically. As he's getting pulled over he hides the bag under one of his fat rolls. The cop comes up and asks him if he's been drinking. He tells the cop the truth "No I'm high." Cop has him get out to give him a sobriety test and the bag falls out from his fat roll. He gets arrested for driving under the influence of marijuana and possession. He lost his license for a few months.
I know another guy who got busted in Florida for a pot DUI. He got pulled over for speeding and the car reeked of pot because they just got done smoking a blunt. The passenger ate the blunt roach as they got pulled over so they didn't find anything illegal. But they took the driver and gave him a blood test and he got charged with DUI.

A friend of mine did. He failed the sobriety test though. They gave him the Breathalyzer test and he passed, but the cop took him in and charged him be cause he was obviously messed up. He was on a bunch of xanax and was stumbling when trying to walk a straight line.

I got a DWI like 4 years ago for blazing and driving. I was out with this girl for the 3rd time or something and we decided to go into a back section of a state park to blaze after dark. We're back in the middle of the woods smokin in my truck and then I see the headlights.
I started my truck and started driving out after stashing my pipe under the seat. Well, of course it was a cop, I get pulled over and he comes up to the truck and there is still a bunch of smoke coming out the window. They found a gram on me, not the pipe, and took me for a blood test.
Ended up the cop didn't show for court and I technically drove 10 feet so more then likely it would of gotten thrown out. But in the end walked out with a Disorderly Conduct and a 275 dollar fine
