...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....

Trip, i'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one. I say you and your friends actually have been lucky as opposed to being better drivers whilst high. Nothing can make you more intellectually brighter or more alert than being in a well rested normal state of mind.
Alcohol doesn't mix well with driving and thats a fact EVERYONE knows yet many disregard it. I've seen many sucessful people flush their life down the toilet because they killed someone while driving under the influence. Remember this.......the accident doesn't even have to be your fault. A guy runs a red light and slams into your car killing himself but you were the one under the influence? Doesn't matter, you're gonna pay dearly.
Simple fix: Just don't get behind the wheel or get in anyones car who is under the influence. On too many occasions to count, i was the one guy who drove the drunks home. I remember going to a party once with a girl and my buddy was drunk. he was going to get in my other friends car (who was drinking) and i stopped him. i forced him into my car (i can't babysit all my friends) and drove him home. well, the other knuckleheads got into an accident but only hit a street sign. My buddy thanked me the following morning.
