Just make it so you cant drive while high (like with alcohol) and tax the hell out of it.
Whats the big deal.
You can drive perfectly fine while high. Unless you're talking about the act of smoking while driving, in which case, you'd have to ban cigarettes etc as well, but doing that would be dumb.

Maybe some people can, but most people I've driven with who were high tended to be a lot worse off than if they were sober. That said though, I think I'd still trust a high driver over a drunk one, however I do agree with legalizing marijuana and just making driving while high illegal.

But I believe you're right otherwise.
When you drive drunk, the road is like ~~~~~~~vvv~~~~~~Vv~~~~ooooSSSS

The only people I've known to be unable to drive high are the same people that can hardly drive in the first place and in my opinion I think it should be harder to get a drivers license. But I'd be satisfied either way

When you are high, YOU ARE THE ROAD
Don't try to bend to the road, that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth - there is no road. Then you'll see that it's not the road that bends, it is only yourself.
Hmmmm, I think one's driving ability is impaired when one is high but that is countered by the fact that when one is high: 1.) Many people are very cautious when high (paranoid...), aka: drive slow and pay attention 2.) One can focus in on things really intensely (get in the zone..) when high.
I guess people also zone out when high which can lead to accidents... don't know how often this happens!
"By setting the fine at just $1, we are sending a message to Denver officials that the era of citing adults for using a less harmful drug than alcohol is over. It's simply not worth the city's time or resources," said panel member and SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert, who coordinated the successful Denver marijuana initiatives.

I really like the reasoning stated behind their decision too. It's the truth. If anything should be banned it is alcohol and cigarettes. Both of which I enjoy, but on level of harmfulness, those two exceed pot.
Yes, that worked so well last time :p
it took a Constitutional amendment to ban alcohol
...just saying
Actually it took a constitutional amendment to pretend to ban alcohol, but really just allowed smugglers to make a ton of money from it.

As a matter of fact, with the current christian government we choose ourselves, drugs are not as free as they used to be in the netherlands. Mushroom have been prohibited since some stupid psychic french student killed herself while high on shrooms, and in many cities it is forbidden to smoke on the streets.
I can't believe I didn't post in the high thread two days ago. I was so high I actually thought I was going to die. Like literally. My life flashed before my eyes.
I live about half an hour away from denver, and I can't believe I heard about this through teamliquid before any other news source. Having had some experience with law enforcement on marijuana here I have to say that it's really not a big deal here already. I'll definitely vote on this if it comes up
As far as i am concerned with driving high, I have done it or been in a car while the driver is doing it nearly on a daily bases for over a year. Never notice any swerving or reckless behavior. Although it should be taken into account we have been using for a long time, maybe a new smoker would be best off not driving?

lol why do so many people say shit like this? not that I am for or against weed use, but this is just retarded to say. I'm sure there are thousands maybe millions of people who have died while high. And yes I do mean directly or indirectly from smoking it. (lack of common sense leading to their death or some thing retarded shit.) And I am sure there is a case where some people had an allergic reaction to it or burned themselves alive from it etc.

bad argument. douche bag.
Agreed. People have died after drinking water, therefore water is bad. Correlation != implication. People die from drinking too much alcohol. People go to sleep from smoking too much weed. Never seen a stoned person (as in JUST high, not on coke/meth as well) pick a fight. If anything it helps society, since its such a good way to relax after a stressful day.

I've driven high more times in the last year than I have sober, and I promise the nature of marijuana actually increases your ability to focus, rather than decreasing it during menial tasks like driving or playing wow etc. I can honestly say that I drive better high. But it's different for everybody, idk

I don't drive better when high. I heard it only helps for people with ADD. Get yourself checked.
EPT
and in my opinion I think it should be harder to get a drivers license. But I'd be satisfied either way
