[quote="Airborne Butters":03adb]You can't blame this on alcahol soley. I mean the kid knew better then to drink and drive and so did the passengers. And as for pot, I personally remember about 3 or 4 accidents in HS that were caused by kids being too stoned, not to mention the people that have OD'd on other "recreational" drugs.[/quote:03adb]

Driving too stoned has never caused an accident for me and 7 of my closest friends who have been smoking and driving for a good 5 years, and on open roads at 100kms/h....Those people would have been being stupid and not paying attention to the road, because that's really the only way to have an accident on the road when you're stoned...Unless it's your first session or something, and you're too busy reacting to the new feeling of being high to focus on the road....

...Otherwise as a guy who has been smoking for about 7 years, I say that it's total bullshit - Infact, I appeal that it makes me and most people I know that do it, a BETTER driver. I've never even come close to having an accident, and I'm a very cautious driver....It's probably the only time I drive exactly on the speed limit....
