Driving while using

[Anonymous]

I sometimes find myself behind a car where someone is obviously smoking weed because the smell is strong and persistent. My solution is to switch lanes and pass them. Alternatively, you could move to the right lane and slow down a little temporarily so that the weed driver gets further away from you.

DC doesnt care about drunk driving either. That's what happens when you turn traffic enforcement over to cameras. Addicts of all stripes get a free pass to do whatever they want while driving. It's insane.

I do that when I can. It just doesn’t work when in bumper-to-bumper gridlock.

The solution, the only solution, is traffic enforcement by human beings.

Everything comes back to the ill-fated decision to stop basic traffic enforcement by the MPD.

It wouldn’t be “equitable.”

It also doesn’t work because once the odor is in your car it’s in your car and takes time to dissipate.

Every single one of you who don’t think it’s a big deal to smoke marijuana while driving do you feel the same way about drinking alcohol?

And that is why this dangerous stupid exists.

It’s becoming ridiculous. Once legalized, people would stretch or break the rules. Driving while smoking weed is illegal and dangerous, especially if mixed with other, stronger drugs.

In Maryland it is now illegal for police to use the odor of marijuana coming from a car in traffic as a basis for imitating a traffic stop. This will probably be coming soon to DC as well.

Lord, just how pro-criminal are they going to make our laws?!

Pretty clear case:

I am an at-home user of marijuana. I smell it on the road and unless you see smoke coming from the window, or you and the other car are the only ones in sight, you have NO idea who is smoking.

The stench of pot is truly retched, like a mix of three day old body odor, garlic, and cloves. And it seems more pungent than it used to be, like vinegar up your nose.

Chances are it's the beat-up Altima with tinted windows and expired Maryland temp tags.

Wait - how do you know they were shrooms?

The constant bs and exaggeration is half the problem.

It was a mixed thing. Not straight weed. I know what straight weed is like, bro.

You can’t smoke shrooms. Not a thing. Psilocybin (active ingredient in shrooms) breaks down when heated. Soooo stooopid.
