Touchy subject this.

I'm used to my buzz on weed and can operate fine doing pretty much anything so long as I haven't just had a mammoth session within 20 minutes of driving.

My reaction times are fine. Then again, I would NEVER have driven stoned 2 or 3 years ago. I dunno, I've driven so much when stoned and all of my friends have too that I'm so used to it. I can't remember ever even coming close to an accident of any sort when high. I've been in more risky situations when driving tired or just normally.

I do think that is a coincidence, because I don't think it makes me a better driver, but I definitely wouldn't agree that it makes me worse off. I wouldn't put people at risk If I didn't fully trust myself behind the wheel. I'd never drink drive, because I cannot operate properly physically or mentally when I'm drunk, but when I'm high nowadays all it does is make me think a little deeper.

It's very different for other people though. I certainly don't encourage it. It's something only you yourself can initially judge about before trying.

I know I'm probably gonna get flamed for this because people around here have strong opinions on this, but I fully trust myself behind the wheel.
