Is everyone baked?
I can smell it driving down the freeway, down PCH, all around town. People are driving 20mph under the speed limit everywhere. The kids hang out in the beach parking lots toking. Everyone seems to be baked now. FWIW, I don't partake. I've tried it, but its not for my personality.
We in biiiiiiiig trouble.

would you rather they be smoking crack or drinking alcohol? You can't smell folks getting drunk as you drive by.
Interesting that you use the term 'baked' that is pretty much used only by stoners.

I was in traffic at the Oakland Bay Bridge toll plaza and the man, not a kid, in the pick up truck next to me was smoking a pipe. This was during a weekday morning commute!

I'm at work sitting in a building with several hundred people who are working and not smoking weed, I haven't touched the stuff in decades.
Drive by the beach on a Saturday morning and the surfers are getting high. Location, location, location...

I'm baking. Oxy & muscle relaxant prescribed. Spasms back and neck. Never felt this way before.

I ride road bikes. In the last few years I have noticed more and more people smoking and driving. 5X more at least. On a bike it is very obvious as most people smoke pot keep the windows down. This is not going to have a happy ending about ten years from now.

I bet in a few months it’ll subside when the novelty of it wears off.
FWIW I prefer being behind some stoner driving carefully and 10 under the limit than the hothead, perpetually-aggro always-in-a-rush east coasters I used to have to deal with! |

Driving high is as bad as driving drunk.
I have never understood those that confuse a blood alcohol problem with a THC problem, I grew up in an era that excused BAC and sent you to jail for pot. Having done both, a lot in the '70's, neither is acceptable. How is this even a debate?

I play golf almost every day. The whole damned golf course smells like Amsterdam. It seems everyone under 40 is blasting in the carts, parking lot, on the tee boxes...and half those over 40 are stoned. You can't get away from the smell. I'm sick of it.
I was a total stoner from 16-19, but gave it up. Hard to function when I'm so paranoid I'm hiding in a closet with an M4.

Just for the record I do not advocate driving under the influence (of anything).
Only observing that humankind has been getting high...well... forever, so I don't expect it will go away anything soon. It is illegal to smoke cigarettes almost anywhere In Calif, I presume there will restrictions on smoking weed outdoor too.

Yes, we are domed.
But if I were much younger I'd be kinda happy because allot of the competition for good jobs is getting dumber and lazier with every toke. |

Retired, finally

Had to go to court this week for allegedly rolling through a stop sign. Very small town, very fat police force, very high fines. Mine was $215.
Almost every one else was a combination of traffic offense ($215 and up) AND possession of marijuana ($585 for 1st offense, higher and/or jail time for 2nd). One poor guy got nailed for stop sign, marijuana and open container. Ouch.
