Cool vid Crow. Touching on these peoples question. How long until you do "feel" it? Planning a trip in a little under a year. Will be in the Netherlands probably not specifically Amsterdam though. From what I find you can buy pre rolled joints in the area for around 3 Euros. What is the delay between smokings and being high? Coming from a first timer I don't want to smoke way too much to have a huge delayed onset of highness, but I don't want to smoke too little and make it essentially a waste. Would be looking for a very mild high atleast the first time as I spend 2-3 weeks there I'd like to possibly dabble every day/every other day.

I remember one of the first few times i smoked weed. I remember driving back at night and it seemed as i was approaching the red light it took AGES for it to get there. Time lapsed like ten seconds for each second. But it was hella fun and i survived. I just smoked too much.

But years later i was a regular user, only using one or two hits so i was slightly high but way sober in every way. Drove all over the place. Couldnt smoke much though.

And way later i did check myself in to a ward from trying to smoke too much marijuana. I went crazy. I should have stuck with smaller amts. :P

It's the other way round in the UK ... only the most completely stupid individuals amongst generations brought up with drink-driving education would even consider getting behind the wheel after going to the pub. However the old boys who did it in the '60s and '70s just don't get the point and carry on as if it's their moral right to drink and drive ... it's scary actually.

Most people my age don't care about DUI's which is pretty sad. My main deterrent is obviously not wanting to have to live knowing i killed someone, but also because i know what a DUI does to your auto insurance.....it's not a very good price...if you can get it at all without going through state run assigned risk.

My post was about DUI and how you can't hide it if you are. I'm guessing you may not have been stoned at the time.

At any rate I'll stick with my "your days are numbered" thought.

I'd avoid driving under.

Right you are, Dan. You could be driving perfectly, and do nothing wrong, and some other dipsh!t hits you. Cops take a closer look at you at an accident, whether it's your fault or not. Or, even just a tail light burns out on you, and a cop on DUI/traffic enforcement uses that as probable cause to stop you. Nobody gets lucky every time.

Oh yeah? I had several cops pull up moments after my car burst into flames....I was just closing the trunk...just standing there with a shotgun in a scabbard and a pound of weed in a paper bag in my hand. They asked me if the shotgun was loaded..I said no.and we just stood there watching the fire truck pull up and start putting it out. Just never panic is the key.

I wouldn't dream of driving a car stoned. I won't drive a car if I've had ANY alcohol.
The only car accident I've ever had was caused by a stoner. He just drove straight into me from the other side of the road. Please don't ask me how I could tell he was stoned.

Any cop will know within seconds of a stop whether the operator is under the influence of anything.

But the one thing to always remember is: if you are operating after using, nine times out of ten you will be stopped for a reason other then erratic driving.

So if you are a "professional" user don't assume that you know how to drive under the influence.

Your days are numbered if you do.

Did he look like Tommy Chong? The stoner that ran into me at a stop light had the same 1000 yard stare as Tommy Chong.

Any fatal car crash is pretty bad I'd say.

It's if marijuana is a culprit behind it or not that will make most americans suspicious since up until a few years ago we were told it was a deadly drug that caused mass psychosis and other things everyone already knew wasnt true.
