Booster4324 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Alcohol impairs driving more than marijuana Marijuana's Effects on Actual Driving Performance Debunk, no clue if they are truthful, but better than anything anyone has shown about marijuana degrading driving significantly. Mind you, 4 glasses of wine is legal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booster4324 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 My 110 pound wife would get a DUI with that much wine. Not if she drank it in 3 hours. Hell, probably two. Generally, .08 BAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazed and Amuzed Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 So all you guys just smoke weed at home and never leave the house, never hop in a car and drive someplace. I don't give a !@#$ what you do at home just don't fire up and drive next to me on the freeway. Oh that's right, you've never done that before. Like alcohol smoking weed can be controlled. I may take a hit from a bowl before I leave the house much like someone might have a beer before leaving but I don't get stoned and go for a ride, I don't think that's a fun thing to do. In fact I'd prefer to stay at home or maybe even walk somewhere but I don't like to get stoned and drive around. I do think drivers should get tested if they get caught driving stoned, if it ever did get legalized. So to answer your question; yes once, and I hated it. I've driven more after drinking than smoking like most, not that I'm advocating it but I want to be honest at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't drive stoned, the bug doesn't drive stoned because you're...well, impaired. But you know if it's legalized there will be a lot more people out there driving stoned.

Booster4324 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I admire your tenasity. I most states .08 is DUI. I mean she would be below that level. From Wiki: The rate of elimination in the average person is commonly estimated at .015 to .020 percent per hour, although again this can vary from person to person and in a given person from one moment to another. That is why I gave the 2-3 hour range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el Tigre Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 And this is my point. You don't drive stoned, the bug doesn't drive stoned because you're...well, impaired. But you know if it's legalized there will be a lot more people out there driving stoned. So your whole opposition to legalization really boils down to one issue:there will be more impaired drivers. Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster4324 Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I'm sure Police reference Wiki when they pull you over. Your body doesn't process the alcohol out of your system at a certain rate? Sure you want to stick with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know if it's legalized there will be a lot more people out there driving stoned. I can't disagree with that, which is why I think it should be ticketed(like i'm sure it would be), cops around here are just waiting to find someone driving erratically anyways. Not that that's a reason but hell you can get a DUI for taking Comtrex before driving. "Because more impaired people will be on the roads" is a reasonable reason to vote no but the other side to that is if authorities are doing their job than it won't be something that should get out of control. The point I'm making is this-While impaired drivers is a valid point, it shouldn't be the the only reason to state your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tell me if you want to stick with that. Generally, .08 BAC. = I meant generally .08 is the legal limit, she would be below that. Sorry if I was unclear, but I retract nothing. .015 to .020 is the generally accepted rate of reduction. I took multiple classes on this as a bartender. Refute the percentage if you can.

I've been trying to follow this mini-conversation between you and Booster and I've yet to see what point you're trying to make. Maybe I missed a post?

It is 5+ hours. So, I freely grant you, 4 glasses of wine demolishes your wife. I am only used to calculating my own BAC. Touche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
