Your friend Brian sounds gay.

cool story bro

Seriously

Its unbelievable to me that people buy this. I mean, if you know the thing about it staying in your system a month (i assume all here know that by now) why would you believe this?


BTW, those fatalities that spiken in 09? Clearly Obama's fault.

I picture you as being high a lot and (mostly) close to incoherent.

c'mon no one reads the actual article or does any kind of critical thinking, they just react to the headline

If there was no better way to study it then yes I would. It doesn't mean it is a clear answer.

It's almost certain that drivers who are currently high have a better chance of an accident then those who are not. I believe you would even acknowledge that. These studies all pretty much show that someone who has been high "recently" is more likely to be in an accident.

I'm pretty coherent I think, usually. I am high pretty often. I smoked like an hour ago. I think you're usually sober and I find my posts to be more coherent than yours often are. But I dont judge you for being sober.

except that it doesn't. how you can you determine that it's in any way related ? Maybe they all also ate ham sandwiches, so what

good thing you put recently in quotes, since pretty much undermines the point ...

Well, we can also look at the mind altering effects of ham sandwiches and combine the knowledge to see that driving while high may be a safety issue.

We know that marijuana is a mind altering substance and we have proof that people with marijuana in their system are more likely to be in an accident. That means there is likely at least some amount of increased danger for those who drive while high.

I can promise you that answer is a lot closer to the truth than what you are saying in this thread which is that driving while high isn't a problem and never will be.

In a lot of cases, yes.

But you cant accept a study as good science, knowing its flawed, because a better one doesnt exist. That's not a good policy.

On page 1 you admitted this is an impossible question to answer. It really comes as no surprise to me that by the end of page 3 you are answering it in a matter-of-fact tone.

You can though. Those studies are not to be looked at the undisputed answer. They are just more evidence. They fit in pretty well with what we know about marijuana and it would be logical based on that to think that driving while high may present a higher danger than driving while sober.

But do we think they are more likely to be in an accident because they are currently inebriated, or because pot smokers are notoriously irresponsible individuals?

I'll hang up and listen for your answer.

You're right. It was page 2. Forgive me, I'm high.

Not there either.

Yes it is. You admitted that it is impossible to know if somebody is high at the time of an accident. A page later you are promising Bagels its a problem.

Also, you've been misusing the word proof. I think when you say proof you have been meaning to say evidence. There is no "proof" that marijuana users get in more accidents than non-marijuana users. But there is evidence suggesting it.

no one's feeding any trolls here , take that shit somewhere else

Maybe the weed has taken its toll on your short term memory. This is the CSFMB. We just had a 25 page thread that was 90% trolling. I once created a thread called The Pope is a Sith Lord that almost hit 100 pages.

Not accurate. You have a hunch.


People who are overly caffinated are likely more dangerous drivers, too. Why isnt that being researched? (and the fact that you and others laugh at this notion is )
I think that's Bagel's general point


The thing is, driving while high is not close to driving drunk and I think most people believe that it is. I cant blame them. If you've never done it, you couldnt possibly know.


To approach this like its drunk driving is a flawed premise though

There was an "if" there that you fail to acknowledge. If we have to ignore THC in their system because it may be a week old then it is impossible to know if someone is high. I'm not sure we have to though as long as we keep that in mind.

Also, as I've pointed out with no response a few times, we know the physical effects of marijuana, so we can combine the statistics and those known effects and at least come to a conclusion that there is some level of increased danger from driving and smoking the sticky icky.
No, I'm using it just fine. It is a fact that they do.

Show me the proof, and I'll explain to you the difference.

No, they are not evidence. They dont count for anything.

Dont take this stance, Rick. Its ridiculous.


It would be like if you were doing a test on Purdue grads (except an unknown number of them might have gone to different schools) and saying "Well, its the best we have!"

No, it's not a hunch.
I'm guessing it is, otherwise, why don't you donate or campaign for some funding on that?
I've never done heroin. Can I assume that is not a good combination with driving?
So, are you saying that driving while high at any level isn't dangerous?

He's saying its much closer to being "high" on coffee than it is alcohol or heroin. But most reasonable people already acknowledge that.

This is a side effect of being a drinker. Skews your perception of reality.

hey i just did a study with the 10 people sitting in the breakroom now, i asked them how many have driven high and the ones that did all were fine and never had an accident. its not the best, but its the only study i have to go with

I asked myself the same question and found the same results you did. The study has been peer-reviewed!

This is false. They count for something.
I can give you countless examples of studies that only provide some amount of proof without being definitive. This is how science evolves. We figure out the current best answer and seek better ways to either prove or disprove it especially in regards to the brain which we have a very poor understanding of still.

Since it was brought up earlier, we don't even have a great explanation as to why we sleep. That doesn't mean the studies and knowledge of sleep are invalid.
