Drunk drivers are scum

[WickedSkengman]

Motherfukking weed heads always wanna spout that, "being high don't effect reaction time, or It ain't like, alcohol smoking weed and driving is like driving sober" If the shyt doesn't effect you, you wouldn't do the shyt. Nobody dropping money on a substance that doesn't give you some time of feeling.

dumbass weed enhances all your feelings and senses. hence why its a PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUG. you got to be the dumbest poster on here

The key to driving drunk is utilizing the speed limit and reacting way In advance to red and green lights . Will save your life every time.

People fukk up thinking they can drive reckless, while drinking. That's reserved for sober driving

what do you mean proof? go and look at the PED list in all sports. weed is in there. nick diaz just got banned for 5 years fir testing positive for weed meanwhile steroid cheats only get a year ban.

theres never been one real study to prove weed slows your reaction times. never. it hasnt been done.

nikka we talking about driving.

Does marijuana use affect driving?

Marijuana significantly impairs judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time, and studies have found a direct relationship between blood THC concentration and impaired driving ability.6,7 Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in the blood of drivers who have been involved in accidents, including fatal ones8 (although it is important to note that marijuana can remain detectable in body fluids for days or even weeks after acute intoxication). A meta-analysis of multiple studies found that the risk of being involved in an accident roughly doubles after marijuana use.9

Accident-involved drivers with THC in their blood, particularly higher levels, are three to seven times more likely to be responsible for the accident than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol. The risk associated with marijuana in combination with alcohol appears to be greater than that for either drug by itself.

Smoke and Mirrors: Driving While High on Marijuana Doubles One s Chances of a Serious Car Crash

ooze is behind an estimated 2.1 million car accidents each year in the U.S.—which cause almost 11,000 traffic fatalities annually. But many drug users have claimed that a few puffs of pot before getting behind the wheel are perfectly harmless. A new study, however, shows that drivers who smoke marijuana within a few hours of hitting the road are almost twice as likely as stone-sober motorists to be in a crash that results in serious injury or death.

Authors of the new paper, published online Thursday in the British Medical Journal(BMJ), sifted through nine previous studies to develop a clearer picture of the risks to users who light up before revving up. Previous studies have left the effects ofmarijuana on its own—when not combined with alcohol or other drugs—a little hazy.

But the researchers' findings make sense to others in the field. "Their results are consistent with experimental evidence that cannabis use leads to dose related impairments in simulated driving, psychomotor skills and on-road driving," Wayne Hall, of the University of Queensland's Center for Clinical Research who was not involved in the new research, wrote in a related essay in BMJ.

In addition to the finding that drivers who had recently smoked pot were substantially more likely to be involved in a serious accident, the researchers found that those who had died in these crashes had higher amounts of the drug's compoundtetrahydrocannabinol than those who survived. But there was not enough data to link concentrations of the compound to various outcomes in order to suggest a threshold for dangerous intoxication, noted the researchers, who were led by Mark Asbridge, of Dalhousie University's Department of Community Health and Epidemiology.

that study means nothing. all it shows is that the majority of people smoke weed. which we already knew. weed stays in your system for months. of course everyone has weed in their system.

so weed makes you a better fighter, a better basketball player, a better footall player, a better athlete but makes you a worse driver?

this is like that study that says smoking weed gives you schizophrenia. when in reality its just that schizophrenics are more likely to smoke weed. theres no causation.

 

[WickedSkengman]

lmao did you just give me a study abot weed that was done in england? you do realise england is so backwards with weed thats its a class b drug. not even class c. they still believe in england that weed can kill you and cauzes lung cancer. i cant believe you just did that to me.

You can't be this fukking retarded. But, I'm a say you are. And just put you on ignore.

im dumb but you just posted a classic british disinformation study on weed. these are the same medical board that says weed gives you ling cancer and schizophrenia. you are fukking clueless.

 

[WickedSkengman]

google it

that study was done by the british medical board who act under the british governement. this is the same medical board that said weed gives you lung cancer and schizophrenia. both of which have been disproven by real medical studies. the uk has an agenda against weed because tobacco is insaneley popular over here.
