My parents were stern with me about intoxication and driving. My uncle, brother to my father, was a lifelong drunk. When he was only 35 years old, he collided with the side of a car while careening through a red light at a busy intersection. Inside was a family, a mother, father, two boys, and a young girl. All but the father perished in the horrific accident, and my uncle went to jail for a few years for vehicular manslaughter as a result of it. His blood alcohol level was so high that the judge had absolutely no mercy for his actions. I remember the trial and the pain in our family that followed when we watched my uncle get sent to jail. When he got out, he had to complete a huge chunk of time doing community service. That amounted to hours walking along the embankments of the interstate highway picking up garbage left by cars speeding by. My parents told me point blank that I would end up like my uncle if I ever decided to get behind the wheel of a car while intoxicated. And they insisted that it would be the same if I was on cannabis as well. While there is minimal research indicating that cannabis has a much more reduced negative impact on driving than alcohol, you shouldn’t risk it. On top of the risk to your safety and the safety of others, you can get a costly DUI that might be in the position to defend in court. Those are negative impacts that are easily avoided otherwise. Just wait until you get home to medicate with your favorite cannabis products.
