actually what it is is you farting in the seats...cloth soaks it up like a sponge and then the heat releases it again when the car gets really hot...you might think im joking but im serious!! stop farting in your seats

Not me. Dealer undercoating is pure and simple just a waste of... well - I guess that'd be another thread.

The smell's not a big deal - it's pretty subtle. I just thought it was funny that someone mentioned it after I'd noticed it.

I dunno I just use vanillaroma air freshners, and mad amounts of cannabis. My ride smells great.

A plastic bag once got caught on the exhaust pipe, and the heat of the exhaust melted it. The car smelled of a nauseating plastic for a week.

Oh noooo, trust me I have no intention of ever spilling bong water in there. I know that stuff reeks. In fact the only bong I have right now is my Yoda one, and it never leaves home. I never smoke j's in my ride either, don't wanna get ashes in my car. Just the little glass pilo, when done, hang it out the sunroof while driving and you got a clean pipe. Hell yeah.

Nope, as a matter of fact it makes me drive safer. When was the last time you heard about a stoner in a high speed chase? **** the top speed I get when I'm blunted is about 35 mph on my way to Taco Bell.

That is an interesting justification.

I've never done it, but it alters your state of mind, right? I'd say you were impaired.

Yes - driving while stoned is a bad idea. But anyone who has ever been or is a pot smoker will tell ya' (s)he's done it tons of times.

Sweed - dunno about the driving safer idea - you sound like my buddy who says the same thing after 8 beers, cuz he's "more careful". But hey, man - I'm not preaching, believe me - I used to do the same **** - jeez, when I used to go to college about 3 hours from here, my buddy and I would spend the whole freakin' ride clouding up the interior of the car. I could never seem to keep my speed right, though - 70 MPH seemed HELLA FAST while I was baked! It's tough NOT to drive stoned when you spend 75% of your waking hours blazing up.

I don't do it anymore - in fact, I probably take a toke maybe once a year at most, and usually regret it. I dunno why, but for some reason I just stopped enjoying weed altogether. But I definitely had about an 8 to 10 year run where I was a certified pothead. It was fun while it lasted, but I enjoy my sobriety these days.

Yeah I hear ya man, I'm mean I don't condone it, or suggest it at all. You're right, probably not safer, but I mean its not like beer where you have a few and you feel invincible behind the wheel. I used to get plowed and drive, and I regret doing that. I never had any accidents luckily, but it was just damn stupid. I hated getting up in the morning and having to go look at my car just to make sure I didn't hit anything because I didn't remember driving home But as for weed, if anything I get a little more aware, of what's going on. I don't get aggressive at all, usually when i drive sober I get road rage, and get all pissed off a shitty drivers. But when I'm baked, I don't care about anything except getting to where I'm going, and listening to music. I guess to each their own, you kinda just gotta be samrt and know your limitations.

Even though I don't really toke anymore, I'll always believe that weed in general is MUCH less harmful and debilitating than alcohol.

While driving on any substance is not really recommended, I'd much rather everyone on the road was baked rather than drunk. Being high doesn't affect your ability to stay in lane and make at least half-way decent decisions.

Besides, if EVERYONE on the roads was high, road rage would be all but elimintaed, and most people would probably drive the speed limit or under. The world might be a happier place.

Even "non-smokers" (well, sort of, anyway) want to see legal green, man. So many of the negative effects of alcohol just don't surface with weed. No one I ever knew got stoned, and thought they could beat up the 400 Lb bouncer at the club. Or beat up his woman. Or drove his car into a ditch. Or couldn't remember which house he lived in. Or wound up puking on someone's shoes ('cept for them BIG bong rips, but still - it's different - like taking a huge cigarette pull would make you choke and maybe puke). The list is endless.

Legalize and decriminalize.
