It’s summertime in Australia now, and for these guys, the heat was on. The two Aussie blokes had no idea that while they were rolling a joint in their car, an officer was right beside them, recording the whole thing.

Why should anyone give a damn if they smoke some weed?
Is that pic from someone smoking marijuanna or drinking alcohol? One is legal the other isn't.
One is legal the other isn't. Neither should be used before driving. Click here to read where a high driver who caused crash says I'll never smoke pot again.

That may be true. But alcohol is far far more dangerous.

Not necessarily, it's relative to use amount. While ocasional or moderate use of either alcohol or marijuana is innocuous. the excessive of use of both can be equally harmful while driving.
That may be true. But alcohol is far far more dangerous.

So drinking 10 shots of whiskey is as bad as smoking 10 joints? I don't think so.
the excessive of use of both can be equally harmful while driving.

So drinking 10 shots of whiskey is as bad as smoking 10 joints? I don't think so. I don’t think you can compare drinking some amount of alcohol to smoking some amount of joints because it is impossible to do so given the complex pharmacology of marijuana, and multitude of individual characteristics that determine the impairment or intoxication due to marijuana consumption.
the excessive of use of both can be equally harmful while driving.

I've smoked weed and gotten drunk. Being drunk inhibits your motor skills or abilities exponentially over smoking some marijuanna.

Gatlin: Not necessarily, it's relative to use amount. While occasional or moderate use of either alcohol or marijuana is innocuous, the excessive of use of both can be equally harmful while driving. You stacked the deck to prove your point when you said: I don't think so. I think so. As I said: “It’s relative to the use amount.” I will go even further and say it’s relative to the use amount and relative to the individuals. “RELATIVE” is the operative word here, Stone. Studies show that every hour, one person is killed and 20 are injured in crashes involving a drunken driver. Even slightly “buzzed” drivers (drivers with a blood alcohol level of 0.01%, meaning someone who has had even one drink) are 46% more likely to be blamed for a crash when they collide with a sober driver. With regards to the impact of people who use marijuana and drive, early studies showed had a slight impact on the psychomotor skills needed to drive. (but these studies were seen as limited since they were done in lab situations). A recent study review published in the British Medical Journal found people who used marijuana within three hours of driving were nearly twice as likely to cause a crash as sober drivers. The Buzz Use: Practice: Effect: Explanation: Warning: The HIGH Use: Practice: Efffect: Warning: Existing addictions like video games, alcohol, sex or adrenaline rushes of any type seem magnified and craved for, when high. Red, sometimes bloodshot eyes can be experienced while at this level of high (standard eye drops can mask this appearance). It seems more fun to you when your friends are NOT high with you - but it's not fun or funny to them. Great marijuana can keep you really high for hours with minimum burn out. Some marijuana can leave you with dry mouth, also referred to as "cotton mouth". The STONED Use: "Let's get stoned", "Getting stoned" or "He's really stoned" (she's) Practice: Effect: All of the symptoms of the Buzz and the High are still present and usually increased when Stoned. It's also more fun in groups. Friendly, talkative, sexual, less inhibited, courageous (?), daring, and sometimes even stupid (example: the movie JackAss). Individuals are often mistaken in photographs for having their eyes closed, when (in reality) they were really just stoned. Warning: Some individuals may display a lack of motivation or activity at this level (lethargic). A burn-out may occur when coming down from the high (feeling) itself. Bad weed or extreme burn-out may cause sleepiness in some at this level. Some people experience nice body buzz's besides their cerebral high. Many individuals (but not all), are NOT recommended to operate heavy equipment, run machinery or grocery shop in this condition. I stand by my statement: Being drunk inhibits your motor skills or abilities exponentially over smoking some marijuanna.
There is no relativity in your statement. You do not qualify the degree of either, so your thesis is invalid. If you weigh 180 pounds, have 9 drinks and score 0.162 blood alcohol level then you are legally drunk. So then I agree that: “Being drunk inhibits your motor skills or abilities exponentially over smoking some (one or two joints of) marijuana.“ Stone: That may be true. But alcohol is far far more dangerous.
So drinking 10 shots of whiskey is as bad as smoking 10 joints?
Now permit me to do also stack the deck: So being “stoned” on pot is worse than drinking 1 shot of whiskey?
"catching a buzz" or the invitation "wanna catch a buzz?" (It CAN BE elusive, so you have to 'catch' one when you can)
Limited to taking only two or possibly three hits (tokes, inhales, etc.)
This is the first level experienced in getting high on pot. You catch a nice, calm, enjoyable, floaty, buzz. First time users may claim to be stoned. This buzz practice is good for the daily user who begins their day with a buzz (not to be confused with "wake & bake" - see Stoned). Catching a Buzz is not enough to get burnt out, and yet you have not truly reached the Level of High (so to speak). You can revisit your joint or pipe later and refresh your buzz by taking a couple more hits. This can be continued through- out the day with few (if any) ill effects.
Depending upon the potency of your pot, any one of these effects could be enhanced or non-existent in your personal experience. It may take only one hit on the bong with your Hawaiian to catch a buzz, or it could take more than 10 hits of a joint to catch the same buzz based upon the quality of your weed and your friends.
These examples take into account the use of good to excellent grade reefer. A nice buzz can last from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The effects of getting high on marijuana can be different from one person to the next. Marijuana is not a physically addictive drug.
"getting high", "let's get high"
This level is generally reached when you smoke a joint or a couple of bowls with friends. Attainment can be reached with 4 to 8 hits of decent weed. It goes beyond a buzz, but you are not stoned either.
When you have continued from the Buzz level, you will quickly get funnier, and can become internal with your wild and sporadic thoughts. You may experience phases of paranoia at this level, I do not. That comes from (potentially) breaking a law to do it, or having to cover it up or hide it to begin with (IMO). You generally feel good, may want to do something fun or exciting, will like the taste of food and drink, and can still perform and enjoy your partner sexually. Now that's a drug! Audio and Video experiences seem enhanced to you. Focus & creativity are generally increased with the one exception of ADD users.
People have reported witnessing uncontrollably laughter at nothing or anything at all. Having them explain the source of their laughter is futile. Laughing to tears is possible when paying attention to deep, meaningless conversation and humor.
When you continue to get high (continue to smoke after you are already high), you reach a certain plateau (destination). This Zone is happily referred to by many as "Stoned". To some, catching a buzz or getting high just isn't enough... they like to be stoned.
When a person is stoned, they may exhibit any or all of the following behaviors;
Extreme bouts of snack splurging are a noticeable side effect of being stoned on marijuana. While eye drops can help with the red eye experienced when getting high, they cannot help with the squinty eyes of a stoner. This often occurs after smoking really good reefer, or smoking so much Pot that you are glued to whatever seat you are in (the couch is a fine example). This squinty- eyed side-effect has no known cure as of the time of this publishing. While occasional or moderate use of either alcohol or marijuana is innocuous, the excessive of use of both can be equally harmful while driving.
