Title: Smoking pot nearly doubles the risk of crashes
Post by: gunders007 on May 05, 2012, 11:00:36 AM
Canadian researchers have discovered smoking marijuana three hours before driving can more than double a driver's chance of being involved in a serious crash. The study examined data collected from 49,111 victims who had been seriously injured or died in an accident. Researchers specifically looked at cases where tetrahydrocannabionol, the active compound in marijuana, was found in the victims' blood stream but where other drugs and alcohol were absent. The study also evaluated instances where the driver admitted to smoking within three hours of the crash. The findings demonstrate that, while those who drive under the influence of alcohol are still more likely to be involved in a collision than their pot-smoking counterparts, marijuana significantly impairs an individual's ability to safely operate a vehicle.

Depends on which pot you are smoking, Kush can make you really unfocused... And another type can give you a huge adrenaline. My sister has been driving for almost two years now and she smokes pot while driving (which i don't suggest dong) and she has NEVER ever gotten into a car crash.

You said admitting three hours after marijuana? That's an invalid experiment, that's like saying you drop a ball to find the density of it but you know the height your dropping it from is 1 meter but didn't measure.

In my experience, I'm more aware of what I am thinking about, that means if I know i have been smoking within my last couple of hours then i know that I'm going to have the effects on me to what it has on other people. I'm a little fearless, and it makes me less annoying. By less annoying I mean I am calm and patient. Usually i can skip a video if i don't like it, but i usually watch it all the way through. I have never drove under the influence of Marijuana and I don't plan to. My brain cells are usually focused on the amount of sleep i get and a lot of whether i eat my certain meals a day... Which i don't but i do now. And so far ever since my sleep and eating procedure has changed i have been doing a lot better in school, i can't prove it to you but pot has no effect on my school work.

I simply believe that if weed becomes legal, the cannabis smoked must be government regulated so we can get out of the recession and make what is smoked pure (no coke or extra tar shit they put in over here in NYC). It should be regulated like alcohol (cant smoke it while driving and not allowed to smoke it in the workplace or jobs that require full attention). There should be an age limit of 21 to stop 16 year old idiots from smoking weed erry day and not focusing on life. PS: If your going to support Ron Paul just because he will legalize weed, your an idiot as well if you smoke weed when your 16, don't mess up when your that young.

Things are illegal for a reason, as weed is illegal because it causes people to be distracted and can cloud their judgement as to whether to do certain actions. Cell phones can be just as dangerous if put in the wrong hands while driving. I think that weed is a waste of money and not needed for life along with alcohol, it certainly doesn't help you to do these drugs unless they are medically subscribed. Now listen kids don't do drugs.

Not to be mean, but you are far from the truth and are obviously not very educated on the subject. It is not just a drug to have fun with, people use it to help with the symptoms from illnesses and the people that actually do need it as a medicinal drug usually have a hard time making it through the day without the recommended dosages. It isn't just a recreational drug. The reason it is illegal is because when people think of marijuana, they think of dragons and fuckin hallucinations because they don't know anything. On the politics side, the conservatives don't want to admit they are wrong after all these years of fighting the drug. I smoke pot about once a week and I have bad ADHD and I do not take meds. The week after I have smoked I am way more concentrated and can actually get stuff done.

He does say unless they are medically subscribed and if you think that cannabis can help with the symptoms of ADHD then perhaps you should look into medical trials - heck you might be on to something and you could even do the trial yourself at some point to see if it is possible that cannabis has a positive effect for certain problems like that.

On another note cannabis was legalized a few years back in England but it was made illegal again for a good reason; people started to switch to stronger stuff e.g. skunk. This was very bad for you and so the law was revoked because they couldn't tell if people would be smoking regular cannabis or stronger stuff. And Penguin makes a good point; everything from Alcohol to Tobacco is a waste of money but so is a lot of stuff we do for recreational purposes, so I have no room to judge.

So are video games like what we are playing today. Talk about waste of money, I've spent more money on video games than pot. But you can pirate games for free, I can grow marijuana for free too and get much out of one plant... Both are illegal to do too.

You should move to Spain (I think) I heard recently that either it was being implemented or was going to be implemented something about legalizing home grown marijuana. It would still be illegal to sell it so the idea is that people make it them selves - they harm them selves and enjoy themselves if they wish BUT there would be no drug trade for it and it would only be effecting the grower. It is a pretty smart idea that fixes the main problem with drugs; the crime associated with it.

Also yes, video games are a waste of money - but so is every single piece of anything that isn't keeping us alive, they are still necessary though because otherwise we would be working to work, rather then working to live.

Video games don't have to be illegal, and growing your own without the right permits is far more illegal than downloading a pirated game.

Lol flame war starting :L

And renegade are you serious? Saying all forms of cannabis is the same is like trying to say there is no difference between vodka and Cider. Regular cannabis has been proven to be less harmful then alcohol, both physically and mentally. The harder stuff is can have very severe consequences, which is part of the reason that it is illegal in some places.

Also on an off topic note, you sorta started that by calling him 7 years old (which I doubt is the truth xD)

Anyway, even if the cannabis itself isn't harmful, the chemicals they are sprayed with are. Seriously, (it's 8:00 AM right now, I can't remember) but it's used to preserve dead people.

I think cannabis is a great tool to use tax on it prescribed or not. It would at least now make the drug dealers slightly powerless and maybe if we legalize them all (except for drugs that can kill you in one serving) the drugs lord will not exist and the war on drugs could cease?

Weed is overrated. Technically, its nothing more then Cigaretts and Alcohol combined. Yes. It should be made so those under legal drinking age cannot use or purchase it. It should also have the same laws as Alcohol as it has similar effects. Texting and driving is 11 times worse then smoking weed and driving yet people text and drive more then they rip and drive.

Honestly, I don't smoke it for the same reason I don't drink. I'd rather blow my money on a Gas Blow Back G39 Airsoft Rifle then a 6 of keiths or 2Gs. Some day the governments will realize there's not much difference between weed then Alcohol in regards to effects and laws to control it.

TL;DR
Weed is overrated. It's similar to alcohol in regards to negative effects on you and can EASILY be controlled by alcohol laws.

It's funny how people start firing down on weed because it has recreational uses.

Weed is harmless, however like all drugs, they may do damage, but there is no solid proof of it doing harmful damage.

Like anything that is recreational, it's absolutely stupid to do drugs / drink (over the limit) alcohol before operating machinery such as vehicles.
But the thing is, if we take a step back, and look at the bigger picture, that's not the reason to make weed illegal, if it were, you might as well ban things such as alcohol entirely.

Weed has proven to be far better at many things. Medical use being one of them.
Weed can be used to make oils, clothing, insulation material and more, for a very, very low price. However it's been banned for the main reason of "Being dangerous", even though in reality it is banned because the government can't tax it, and companies would be easily undercut due to the abundance of weed, therefore being cheap.

Don't just assume that because the government made something illegal is because "It's a dangerous drug", to me, that's a load of crap.

Mmm I agree, but why not just tax it for recreational use just like any other kind of drug instead of use for medical or clothing uses, if it was used for that, then just add it for buisness tax, depending on which state you live anyway.
Title: Re: Smoking pot nearly doubles the risk of crashes
Post by: Journeyman H. [UK] on May 15, 2012, 06:46:45 PM
1 big reason why it can't be taxed.

Weed destroys companies, seeing as companies can't make money from hemp based; Oil, clothing, medical, and so forth.
If weed was legalised, it would harm companies, and if the companies profits suffer a massive downfall due to it, then the government cannot be able to make as much money from taxing. Which leads to the second point.

The thing is, if weed was allowed to be used to make a variety of things and you had weed farms, you can't make a profit from it. Simply because weed can be made into abundance, which is an opposite of scarcity.
Oh by the way, seeing as the reason why weed is expensive, it is simply because it is illegal to grow and sell weed, therefore growing large patches would be very difficult, and also drug dealers need the money, seeing as it's hard to sell it in the first place.

Now, I can't seem to find proof whether weed is easier to grow and if weed grows more than what tobacco does, but that'll be left to the expert growers to answer that. Maybe I'll ask my friends for the sake of knowing.

I had a picture that does describe most of the reasons well.

I hope that post satisfies most of the answers why it's illegal.

@Renegade Plants are often sprayed with formaldehyde, not just weed. Tomatoes, vegetables, all of that good stuff is often dusted with it as an antimicrobial pesticide. Be afraid of your food now.

As to Journeyman, you're exactly right. As to everyone else, especially whoever made the Ron Paul comment, not saying that's WHY I support him, since I don't use any recreational drug, If weed was legalized tomorrow, would we all suddenly become helpless and just HAVE to go out and smoke a joint?

Use your heads. Marijuana isn't any different than tobacco or Alchohol in the sense that it's just as easy to say 'Lol, no" to, but it IS different considering it can be used to manufacture a WHOLE lot of goods at incredibly cheep prices because, Again, Marijuana is a goddamn weed. Weeds are so abundant that you can have a hard time getting RID of them. Growing them doesn't require all that much attention, nor special care and effort. That makes it a problem considering it can replace uses for things like cotton, which is more difficult to grow, and requires machining.

Your stating that marijuana doesnt contain tobacco. Which is quiet obvious. It's the fact that marijuana causes you to be un-coordinated, which is the reason why it is illegal. If cigarettes made you distracted and causes clouded judgement then they too would be illegal. Its not about what is healthy its about what effects it has on your judgement and perception of the world around you.

Cannabis has a lot of things for being used but as Jounrneyman said it destroys markets and companies... It was feared a long time ago by a little movie called "Reefer Madness". Reefer Madness believe it or not was like the Kony 2012 population of the 1930's, it got lots of attention and people believed it. It had invalid arguments like how it makes you violent and laughing in a "Maniac" way. When really it makes you less focused, muscles and mind relaxed, and hungry as fuck.

I really don't know if Cannabis should be legalized though... It would certainly lower crime rates and get lots of money from it like it did with Alcohol, but as it is as an unregulated market right now- It's doing fine. If it was unregulated, kids would stop getting there hands off of it more than they can now. However I do think Penguin could be right... You may regulate it in the market, but that still means people can either fear it more, or puff it like it's oxygen. I forgot what the exact amount of Cannibis you need to have in order to overdose- I think it was 4000 joints in 20 minutes or less.

Marijuana smoke or any smoke for that matter causes damage to your lungs. Its just a matter of how often you smoke it. Those prescribed chemotherapeutic narcotics are only to be used every so often. Those smoking it for lolz however will have their lungs damaged in no time since they are most likely smoking it way too often.

I don't know if that's true... Have you ever seen a gravity bong 1 month later, all of the black stuff trapped on the tip and all over the bottle must be tar.

As for smoking marijuana being more hardcore for your lungs which is true, it doesn't damage your lungs more than cigarettes. Cigarettes are tobacco, marijuana is- well, marijuana. There is a big difference between the two.

This thread has died like 3 fucking times already, just give it a rest holy shit. Moral of the story is Weed and both Positive and Negative effects on the user. Yes the certain strain you're using may be stronger and have more pronounced effects on the user. No, Marijuana is not as hard on the lungs as Tobacco. Tobacco is generally smoked through rolled paper cartridges, where as Marijuana can be smoked through bongs, hookahs(Not too sure about this one), even consumed if treated properly. Threads like these make me want to pierce my eyelids with toothpicks, especially when it's been revived like 3 times even after Renegade-Awesome plagued the thread with his autism.
