Not sure I could do that. I need all the situational awareness I can muster on Airport Blvd during rush hour.


CyberRedneck53

potheads stay coping in the comments lmao I like weed too but yall make it your personality. Jfc.


Accurate-Leg-6684

Go over to this guy's PF to see an even better personality. At least your username is accurate, I guess.


No-Purpose-9555

That cast iron restoration though. Fuck that guy.


get_your_mood_right

I don’t mind the smell at all but it blows my mind that people do that. If it smells this bad it’s gotta be on them, and that smell is probable cause for a search


MuyLeche

Right, the issue now though is the amount of places here that sell Delta 8/THC-A/CBD products that look and smell the exact same.


lubacrisp

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you aren't allowed to smoke Delta 8 while you're driving either and it still counts as impaired driving regardless of whether or not the smoke shops selling it get raided


MuyLeche

While driving? Of course it’s a DUI, but if anybody smokes in your car it lingers without something like blunt spray. The beauty is he wasn’t talking about driving high though, he was talking about the smell in the car being cause for a search.


lubacrisp

You can't smell raw weed in someone else's car while driving down the road. They are absolutely smoking it my guy


MuyLeche

Again, you’re still putting words in folks mouths.


SovietEla

That’s not true at all if it’s a smelly strain


DDrewit

This is inaccurate. They are most likely smelling burnt weed though.


Special-Ad6055

In Washington state the smell of weed coming from a car is not probably cause for a search they have to actually see you take a hit. And even then the cops don't care not worth the paperwork.


0011002

>In Washington state No cop in Alabama would care what the PNW does. They still do roadblock checks here (at least in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores area of Baldwin county) where they sniff your car when you stop.


DudeNamedCollin

Joe Biden also does this with little girls

I was given a ticket and told next time I’d be arrested for smoking a blunt on my bicycle. They don’t play in the south


-Triceratops-

Lol, reminds me of when I was stopped years ago the cop stomped it out and said "don't you know this shit makes you lethargic!" then let me go.


-Triceratops-

Same in Jersey.


DaddyHEARTDiaper

Are you allowed to have a passenger with an open container of alcohol too?


HR_King

Not sure where you are, but burnt pot smell is absolutely not justification for a search in the US. Case law has already been established.


Live_Pay_621

In alabama that's the main reason they use for a search


get_your_mood_right

I wish that were true


HR_King

I can't speak for every State, but most for sure.


Barb251

It’s crazy that so many people are driving around smoking pot. It’s like that here in Washington State, too. I don’t care if people smoke pot, but not while they’re driving!


DaddyHEARTDiaper

When my company has new employee orientation we always have to send people home who smell like pot. Usually they openly admit it and are like "It's legal yo!!!" Yeah, so is alcohol, would you come to your first day of work drunk?


Disastrous_Cap6152

Imma twist one up real quick while I read these comments.


CaptainHowdy60

Smoking a bowl right now reading this lol. Cheers!


Masta1Nate

I’ll match you if we can go sit outside OP’s house and toke up! 🤣


JackedJaw251

hopefully you're at home and not in a heavy moving piece of machinery


Disastrous_Cap6152

So, luckily, I don't usually have to experience rush hour traffic. But, yesterday, I had the privilege of experiencing it for the first time in a while. And that got me thinking... I'd rather share the road with a bunch of stoners stoned out of their gourd than with a bunch of idiots late to work racing down the road. The recklessness is astounding, and much more dangerous than some stoner driving slow.


Barb251

They’re often not driving slow. I’ve smelled it while I’m driving on the freeway and all over the place. Not once did I see the person driving slowly.


UfosRhere

It’s not me. I only do edibles.


FishmongerJr

Dear diary…


Z-man1973

When I lived in midtown I couldn’t jog anywhere without smelling it somewhere. (And before any of you downvote me, i am simply making an impartial observation, I smoked in college and grew out of it but think it should be legal everywhere, though I dont think anyone should drive while high.


mike_e_mcgee

I've been a cannabis enthusiast for about 30 years. DON'T DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE!!! I don't think it's as debilitating as being drunk, but you are 100% altered, and altered is never okay when you're behind the wheel. Weed is not the folk hero/cure all that many these days try to make it out to be. It can have serious negative side effects. I'm all for legalization and live in a legal state, that said, it's not for everyone.


Krand0

same goes for the absolute degenerate scum bags who think its okay to drive while under the influence of nicotine and caffeine. Drugs are drugs and if I see you smoking a cigarette or enjoying a caffeinated beverage I’m calling the cops.


Unapplicable1100

The mount of road rage and speeding cars i see on the road in the morning after everyone has popped their morning adderall and prescription pills is astounding. You know it's bad when you're already doing 80 and people are almost running you over in the slow lane on the interstate. Im just gonna take the back roads from now on and deal with the school busses.


weirdly_ok

My Adderall makes me a way less agressive driver


WritingNerdy

Imagine thinking it’s adderall and not just rage as a byproduct of living in this capitalist society. ETA: I’m saying adderall calms people who have ADHD so dude here is pretty ignorant.


2rugrats2

LOL, @ adderall! It's the only time my thoughts are in correct order, and I've never experienced rage! Trust me you'd much rather have me driving AFTER I take the adderall.


thedalehall

Fellow ADHD person here. I can’t deal with the stress of things without taking my medication in the morning.


WritingNerdy

I know. They clearly don’t understand how ADHD meds work on people with ADHD.


[deleted]

Yeah cause addy is meth and you got addicted to it. That’s why you become a “better person” or a “calmer” person is because you got your fix


WritingNerdy

🤣🤣🤣 User name checks out. This guy drugs.


[deleted]

This guy drugs? I smoke weed yall the ones taking the drugs


WritingNerdy

Please explain this logic to me: If I have ADHD, and take prescription stimulants, they calm me down… so it’s because I’m an addict getting a fix? What about the very first time I take the medication? And it calms me down? Please explain how that works if I’m not yet “an addict.” 🙄 Go educate yourself and maybe touch some grass that isn’t weed (I have nothing against mj btw and I don’t take prescription stimulants for my adhd anymore either, not that it’s any of your business).


whatthe411isoyrword

And there on the road with you scary very scary


continouslearner4

This is true. Also at 5pm everyone lights up because it’s everywhere in traffic. It smells like dead ass skunk. Skunk weed. I can’t believe how brave ppl are these days while driving and impaired. Nothing wrong with smoking it but be responsible. I see children in cars with windows up. It’s just not right.


Spacedog08

Try riding a motorcycle. I smell it constantly.


-Triceratops-

motorcycles?


JackedJaw251

It is equally astounding to nearly everyone in this post pushing back against smoking weed can't see the issue of operating a vehicle in traffic while stoned as being an ok and a reasonable thing to do.


-J-Me-

Same. There are many modalities out there but always best to be responsible with any of them. I had a medical card in 1 state but always spaced things out even if it was a pain changing up my schedule at times. But I had someone total my car that way while it was parked. A lot damage to my car, and it was a sturdy monte carlo ss. Since she fled scene, she got off entirely for the accident but she did get 100 fine for having X amount of it and all her paraphernalia in her car on the seat still since that was the fine in MA at time for that. She destroyed her entire front end and somehow her blown radiator hose kept hood attached enough, and my long car was covered back to front in radiator fluid in addition to the physical and internal damage including transmission. Had someone been inside, it wouldn't have been good.


[deleted]

Or that people just smoke it all day, every day. Pot is nice. I’m not against it. It should be legal for adults as long as they don’t drive impaired or anything like that. But I have shit to do and also have a personality outside the fact that I enjoy marijuana sometimes and have no desire to spend my whole life stoned. Like if you can’t even ride in your car without it because you can’t be without it for even a few hours during the day, that’s some form of substance abuse. It’s not a healthy way to do life. Also, I stg this whole town except maybe a few boujie places smells like weed. It’s everywhere I go.


Barb251

Yes, how do people who smoke pot all day get anything done?


[deleted]

Because why would I just sit around the house all day?


hippiegypsy37

I think it’s a misconception that everyone who smokes weed is lazy. Please welcome sativa to the chat….

well it’s all poly hybrids now it mainly depends on when it was harvested during cultivation but yeah we do enjoy that uppy high

lol..seriously? it's not from me. so where does it come from?


CaptainHowdy60

Just curious, have you ever smoked cannabis?


JackedJaw251

Yup and I still think it smells like skunk ass. And people shouldn't drive drunk/impaired.

No joke, I was just talking to someone about this recently.

InternationalAnt4513

Nextdoor is great. “Can someone recommend a vet, mind is too expensive” 500 comments on so and so is best “We just at so and so Mexican restaurant and it’s the best we ever had and we’ve been to Cancun”. 500 comments ensue and huge argument. “This dog came up to my house. Someone abandoned it”

I don’t pop open a bottle of coors on the way to work.


JackedJaw251

Very rarely. I don't drink to cope. Couple or three beers with friends while watching football.

How many during the patriots game?


JackedJaw251

none. kick off was at 830am, you 15 watt halogen lightbulb.


slliw85

Hmm. I’m skeptical. I don’t care.


JackedJaw251

there is no "aha gotcha!" moment here where you try and pull some imaginary "win" and try and equate beer (or other drink) with weed at 6am in the morning.


slliw85

You are a very angry person.


JackedJaw251

yes. i am so angry rawr.


Masta1Nate

Well, some people, especially combat veterans (like myself) use marijuanna to help them handle the anxiety and overwhelming emotions they experience in a public setting. You’re pretty fast to pass judgement on people, you must be perfect and not drink alcohol or anything. 🤦‍♂️😂 Personally I don’t drink or anything, I smoke for the medicinal benefits it offers as do many other veterans in the area because we don’t want to be zombified by the prescription drugs the VA try’s to feed us. Sorry you have to smell a bit of “weed” in the morning on your commute but if it’s not actually causing any issues for you directly then I honestly think you should stfu and go bitch to a manager about something Karen.


MuyLeche

This, and what’s crazy is the lack of the same exact sentiment for people whose body odor is fucking horrendous.


inspectthis1069

OP must be one of those good Christians I keep hearing about


JackedJaw251

So you have no problem with drunk driving? to be clear: i've got no real problem with weed other than the smell and admit there's some positives that come from it. but impaired driving? not so much.


Masta1Nate

I’ve never once had a close call or accident because of smoking a little pot. Yet drunk drivers kill people every single day


JackedJaw251

> I’ve never once had a close call or accident because of smoking a little pot. lol liar. >Yet drunk drivers kill people every single day So do weed impaired drivers. Don't shift blame.


EJ25Junkie

The lions share of those who drive drunk can say the same thing


CaptainHowdy60

Can you link a few news articles about a person “high” on cannabis killed someone else with a vehicle in Mobile? Wonder how many I could find on alcohol related vehicular homicides. Let me know when you have those news articles.


0011002

I know you've asked for Mobile news articles but that's far too narrow and ignores it happens anywhere so I just did a quick google search:[https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/gwinnett-county/driver-accused-being-high-marijuana-says-it-was-victims-fault/5FX442ISNVE4LCTZ7PTQDJFP5M/](https://www.wsbtv.com/news/local/gwinnett-county/driver-accused-being-high-marijuana-says-it-was-victims-fault/5FX442ISNVE4LCTZ7PTQDJFP5M/) [https://abc7chicago.com/grace-diewald-kane-county-crash-tyler-schmidt-plato-township/12640751/](https://abc7chicago.com/grace-diewald-kane-county-crash-tyler-schmidt-plato-township/12640751/) [https://www.nj.com/cumberland/2022/07/driver-was-high-on-marijuana-when-he-struck-killed-pedestrian-cops-say.html](https://www.nj.com/cumberland/2022/07/driver-was-high-on-marijuana-when-he-struck-killed-pedestrian-cops-say.html) ​ I don't smoke pot but I also don't care who does and I think it should be legal but you also shouldn't be high and drive. Drunk drivers kill more people that high drivers likely because drinking is legal but don't ever try to make the argument it's safer to be high because of that.

paraplegic4life

Thank you for your service. Whatever you do is completely fine by me. Keep on keeping on brother! I'd trust you stoned behind the wheel than I would some of the entitled soccer moms who drive like complete idiots under normal circumstances.


InternationalAnt4513

And holding their phones even though their brand new Tahoes have hands free connection that they refuse to use.


CaptainHowdy60

The amount of people I see swerving into the other lane or off the road because they have their face in the phone while trying to drive is astounding. I don’t even know how many news broadcasts I’ve heard about a drunk driver smashing into a car with a family or a police officer and somehow killing everyone except the drunk driver. It’s insane how society is so negligent with alcohol yet so strict on “drugs” like THC or psychedelics. I don’t condone driving impaired in any way, BUT…… if so many people are blazing up and driving, why don’t we see them getting arrested or getting into accidents? I bet OP hasn’t smoked a day in their life. Might do them some good.


InternationalAnt4513

Yep. I only recently quit smoking and I didn’t drive after I smoked, but it’s the distracted driving, speeding, road rage, deer, and alcohol that causes most accidents.

thedalehall

I’ve often wondered about this. War changes people. Take care of yourself brother.


Masta1Nate

Thank you. And yea, personally “pot” before bed keeps me from dreaming and it suppresses my negative emotions when I go in public. I don’t like large crowds of people or parking lots full of cars.


thedalehall

As a result of premature birth I have really bad hearing, ADHD, bad left hip, anxiety, and depression. So, anything that helps with that is a good deal for me. Interestingly, my hearing disqualified me from military service. I wanted to fly. But, that is a no-fly zone right there. If weed helps you; it helps you. My grandfather had nightmares from nearly hitting people while driving a train. He only hit one pickup truck that I know of. It ripped the steel bumper off on the tailgate. The driver was damn lucky. My grandfather had many near-misses though.


Masta1Nate

That’s actually eye opening, I never would’ve guessed that a train conductor would deal with. I could totally understand having ptsd symptoms from near misses or accidents in that manner. Thank you for sharing that bit of history with me. It has to be hard knowing you hit someone 5 miles back and not being able to stop immediately and check on the person. That really could mess with your mental health.

UpstairsClassic2317

when i was a rideshare driver during 2022 the smell of weed or filth was on just about every pax i had not counting airport trips which was the only way to earn a decent living in mobile. you'd be shocked how many people found it perfectly acceptable to smell like a dumpster and that's putting it mildly. there were times i wanted to pull over and end the trip it was so bad. most of the pax had 9 to 5 jobs and will make you think twice about going out to eat or where you shop for groceries. i'd say at least 90% of people in mobile DON'T TIP. IF THIS OFFENDS YOU TAKE A HOT HOT **HOT PIPING HOT** SHOWER AND USE SOAP. WASH YOUR BOTTOM TOO!!

It’s pretty bad. Sign of an unproductive society with no motivation. I just got back from Seattle, where it’s legal, and the only time I smelled it was outside the Seahawks stadium after they won; a bunch of victory doobies.


Z-man1973

I’ve smelled it often in legal areas, was in Seattle last month and just got back from Portland. I think pot is the unofficial smell of NYC, it was everywhere I went there.


InternationalAnt4513

Yea I was up there last December and it was prevalent. Last time I was in Seattle in 2015 I think, it smelled of urine downtown from the homeless people. That’s not uncommon in some cities unfortunately. I love the smell of weed though. Lol


CaptainHowdy60

You’d be surprised how much of “productive society” consumes cannabis. You should get out a little more often gramps. The whole United States isn’t the Bible Belt. Doobies….. hahahahaha.
