Driving while stoned (video)...



Addy is the clear champion here (seriously, I love her); smoking a gram of weed and still not having much difficulty driving.

I would most certainly not have been able to drive after smoking a gram. I'd probably be like the older gentlemen. Driving waaaay to slowly to be safe.

Overall, however, it would seem that driving impairment from pot is markedly different from alcohol impairment.

and marijuana drivers are affected more mentally, in my opinion. Although marijuana drivers may be more paranoid and usually drive slower than alcohol drivers, their perception is still better than those on alcohol. I don't think they are as dangerous but still, they should not be driving stoned.

One more difference: They know they are too stoned to drive. A drunk driver does not usually have that ability when they are impaired.
