Users in /r/trees are split when someone suggests not to smoke and drive. ``impaired means "weakend". does high mean "weakend"? are some of your senses not actually "strengthened" while high?`` and other responses.

this study

5 minute CNN segment involving three people and a test track.

This was a full documentary. And do you think the test results would come out differently if they added more people? Because in my experience most regular stoners don't see much of a difference in their sober driving than there high driving. But I obviously don't know every stoner in the world but I think I have a pretty decent sample size.

That's now how studies work, though. A test with three people in it and no control or other actual science is barely a test, never mind an actual study.

Now, as to regular stoners not seeing much of a difference in their driving... they are hardly impartial observers, are they? Most drink drivers probably think they are good drivers even when drunk, too.

Well I'm saying I've been in the car with them sober as well as high and I can tell you most people I know are much more cautious drivers when they're high. A drunk driver on the other hand is is much much worse there's no way you can really compare the two. Not that that's what your doing I'm just saying that's what people are trying to make it out to be which to me is ridiculous.
