how do you think your driving is?

I think im what? what? im driving? i thought i was on a rolling couch of happiness

[sector88]

@franknilop lol, he surely is happy, but isn't that good when most of people usually go mad when they drive? How many LEGAL prescribed drugs you have on the market that have serious effects on your driving skills? Nevermind, the list is quite big to put it here..

Cheers,

Peace.

@sector88 Whether you are under the influence of an illicit drug or a prescription drug, if you are aware or a reasonable person would be aware your driving ability would be adversely affected, and are involved in an accident that was (partly) caused by your impaired driving, you will be held to have driven in a negligent manner. That will result in liability. Some countries impose a criminal penalty for this - kill someone? Manslaughter. Years in prison. Your life is practically stunted.

@Smoke1987jdalej If you are a reasonable person you can recognise wether you are in a good condition to drive or not. Some people are not reasonable and should pay for their actions. That doesn't mean it should be illegal. People are negligent, it's a fact, any kind of drug can make you more or less of negligent, it depends on the effect the drug has on that person. In this case he becomes more aware and pays more attention to the road as he recognizes he's under the effect of cannabis.

Peace.

@sector88 I don't think you understand the concept of the "reasonable person" as per the test in English common law. Though it is practically the same in American concepts of negligence.

You have also misinterpreted the results of this 'test'. The words you describe his driving with, are those of the test subject, made while under the influence. Give someone red bull and vodka, and despite being on a depressant, the stimulant lulls them into a belief they are going awesomely well & they say so!

@Smoke1987jdalej So, what do you mean? What's your point?

[AcousticDude122]

What a beautiful conclusion; it confirms what those few informed smokers already knew. Time for a legal debate, we've got the proof right here!

Let' s hope this vid will shut up the ignorant and people who know jack shit about cannabis.

Hmm...In my country they can't wait to lock you up and throw away the key for a single roach.

[Barnakos]

Got busted driving and smoking and here's genuinely what my local policeman said to me: ''Ah, dude, why are you picking on me, you know I hate paperwork! , Now throw this roach in the sewer and get out of my sight!'.

I love living in Quebec, the only place in the world where police has common sense.

Ron Paul 2012! He wants to End Marijuana Prohibition!

[VulcanXL]

I'm curious at how well I'd drive if I was high. I've always wanted to give it a try in the empty roads of my neighborhood with a sober person just in case and see. I'd never go on the highway, even if the results were positive, because well... yeah.. you get the point.

@sector88 I recently saw a show doing the same test in the u.s.a. the guy doing the test was sooooo dumb. He was obviosly not very smart or coordinated to begin with. He smoked a joint and said dumb generic stoner comments. It made me so angry i had to turn it off. I am so glad that a real marijuana smoker was selected for this test! Most people can handle cannabis and driving with no problems as long as they use common sense. Good job speed Tv! thanks sector88 for posting this vid!

This needs to go viral- everyone, after you've viewed this video, if it shifted anything in your perspective, please share this on your Facebook pages and send a link to all of your email contacts, and I will do the same. It's time for the madness to end. Speak up!!! :D -Paul Kuhn

What you mean surprised...WE!! already knew this

[OwenGTA]

when I drive high I always drive slower lol.

[TheSh4adow]

@AcousticDude122 Ahem i know I'm late on this response but I personally don't think it should be legalized think about it taxes would eat that shit up a dime sack would be as much as an 8 ball of crack/cocaine

@Smoke1987jdalej sorry, but the war on drugs is a failure
