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.

I think everyone like yourself think that you will never get in an accident, but there are other people on the road and if they hit you the charges are all going to come to the guy that is high or drunk.
That’s the way I look at it and why I won’t drive high. Because if someone else hits you, you are no longer the victim.

I believe It doesn't affect my driving just like you may believe its okay to drive to work in the morning early when you're really tired....Even that's an ill comparison as I'm a way better driver high than when im tired.

Im not saying that your driving is good or bad while high, what I am saying is that if someone else is at fault your going down for it even if its not your fault at all.
a little offtopic but not really, I drove home drunk one night thinking everything was cool and i was just focused on the road and making sure i did everything right, ya know what happened? I ran out of fucking gas in the country, because i was doing the whole go where there are no cops shit happy: i walked about 20-30 KM home. that was the last time i have ever drove with some kind of altered state of mind happy:
