**** all of you that say its ok to drive impared in any way!

i will never drink and drive... and if you think the weed isnt *** bad as alcohol then your just to fried to know it... i have seen some kids in my school that have smoked in the morning and by 6th period are still slow that i can walk up to them and thump them on the head and they are slow as hell in reaction.

my uncle was killed in a drunk driving accident. he was pulled over (dont remmebr if he was pulled over or he did it..) but a guy coming home from the bar was getting on the freeway and rear ended him. the car burst into flames and he was stuck in the car, luckily he died and didnt have to go threw what this girl does.

may god have mercy on the bastard the hits me while DUI, if he isnt dead or im not... he sure will have a tire iron sticking out his head when the cops come.

Quote » will never drink and drive... and if you think the weed isnt *** bad as alcohol then your just to fried to know it... [/quote] its not, and im not fried (im in calc4, and play waterpolo and ride motorcycles all the time)your argument that its the same as being drunk is off...Have you seen a drunk? The only way I could possibly hit someone "stoned" (not baked, theres a difference) is if THEY do something that causes the accident... in otherwords unavoidable (even in a "normal" state). My tolerance for weed is pretty high, and i have no problem functioning normally... unlike alchohol where you lose full control of motor functions...BUTI am not saying to drive stoned..If you are lit your lit. If i sit down and smoke 10 blunts then drive, id be an idiot and deserve whatever comes that path. If i drink 10 beers and drive same thing. However, to ME 1 j (or 1 beer) leaves me able to drive. Its really a personal responsibility to decide (although your friends should damn near hold you down if they disagree with you)... make the wrong decision and you pay the price.

Well thank god nobody poststed pics of kids that have been molested. Not to change the subject and it just makes you think about all the problems going on. Rapists, molestors, drunk drivers whats the difference. No wonder everybody gets high. War, disease, I cant pay my bills, the list goes n and on. Sure this guy should fry on a skillet, but why another life especially when theres more people passimg away, than we can count. Theres so much drama when can we just enjoy our lives as human beings? (what is this an editorial?) :bonghit

Pretty gruesome images for sure...however, people don't need to drink and drive to get into that scenario.

Essentially the car caught on fire after the collision - the fact that the guy was drinking and driving is not the sole reason she looks like this today.

You could easily end up like this racing a car without the effects of drinking and driving.

Whether or not that story is actually true is not convincing as there are a lot of very sick Fvcks out there who delight in putting all that sort of crap together.

Back home in Scotland a few years ago there was a guy that crashed his pickup truck into a tree - when it happened his legs were trapped by the crushed bulkhead etc.A passing farmer saw the car in flames - he could not get the guy out of the car...the only way to save the guys life was to cut his legs off at the thighs with a spade which he had in the back of his Land Rover!

hold on here... seems to me.. .weed and alcohol impair once abilities to drive.. which ever way it is (yes alcohol is worst) but in the end using either makes you are drive under the influence of something that is causing you to see/think/feel something you wouldn't sober or not stoned. so your gonna sit there and defend smoking and driving? .. seems to me you woudn't make the best decision granted a situation presented itself, and speed is a factor but not the only factor that matters, you can still run over someone doing 25 and hurt them severly.. i think your mentality is the same as those who drink and drive., they think its ok and that they will get home without any problems and look what happens to them... but i ain't your mother or anything... do with your life as you may.. only that **** catches up with you eventually...

I've been in accidents where the driver was drunk and another near accident when the driver was high. The drunk person ran a red light taking a sharp left going fast and ran into a minivan, no injuries though, oddly. The time the driver was high someone pulled out on him cutting him off while he was going 40-45. Instead of braking he performed a die another day james bond procedure avoiding the car and scaring the living **** out of me.

edit: he had sufficient braking time/space.
