Wow, this thread's looking good so far! Thanks for all the participation everyone.
I posted this before I went to bed last night, and I wake up, and there's already 3 pages! I was like, wtf, wow!

btw, I found this video. WATCH IT. I post it because sometimes I'll smoke with a friend while she's driving, and while I don't really suggest it if you live in a particularly traffic-busy area that happens to have a high accident rate, we've never had a problem; but then again, it's not very busy where I live. I'm sure if you're in a small town with little to no traffic, it's fine. I say judge accordingly, because pot does slow reaction time, but many people driving under the influence tend to drive MUCH MUCH safer, mostly because they become more, I don't wanna say "paranoid", but they tend to pay closer attention to what's going on around them, and so they avoid any sort of risky driving. Small example, my friend will make sure that there is NO ONE coming before she pulls out, rather than wait for a small opening in a line of traffic and risk hitting someone else. She never speeds, but doesn't too slow either (going slower is actually more dangerous than speeding). I truly feel safe riding in the car with either one of my two friends while they're high. And it makes trips to the mall much more exciting... :P



And the reason why it's so difficult to have conversations with parents or grandparents about smoking marijuana is that they've grown up in this society where the government feeds us false informationpropaganda and uses scare tactics, to convince everyone that marijuana is just BAD. HORRIBLE. The first time I was riding with my friend while she was smoking, I was FREAKING OUT. I was like, "OHMYGOD, I'VE SEEN THOSE ANTI-DRUG PSA'S WHERE THE GUY KILLED HIS LITTLE SISTER BECAUSE HE WAS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF MARIJUANA OHMYGOD I'M GONNA DIE!!!"
But of course, it never happened.

Truth: I got high, NOBODY died.
