Riding while under the influence of Marijuana.

[Cheyenne]

Then I was too afraid to ride hme, but did anyway. On the way down Fish Ranch, I kept thinking "a fucking deer is going to jump out in front of me, I just KNOW it....."

I assume that my deer paranoia is healthy...it is possible it's enhanced for sure.

Is it 'okay' for cagers to be stoned?

Yes, although, I suggest a cinder block, rather than your usual rock.

Why is it fine? It could be you or me or some child crossing the street that some stoned douche fuck kills. That's not fine in my book.

Poor choice of words; exasperation talking.

Can't believe the "if you're a good enough rider, you can be impaired and be safe" attitude.

You're not "safe" when riding sober...but you are far far less safe for yourself, and others, when impaired, as you point out.

Remember that rider that killed that kid in Novato this spring?

The kid and father were in a crosswalk when he took them out; I believe the dad lost his legs.

That impaired rider is in jail and hopefully will rot there.

So yeah, impaired riders are putting more people at risk than just themselves.

FWIW- I wasn't picking on you or your choice of words. I'm also flabbergasted and infuriated by those that think that doing something like this is solely their business and no one else's.

Here's a hint- if you need pot to make you a "safer" rider, then maybe this isn't the hobby for you.

And I'm flabbergasted that so many people think smoking weed is the same as being drunk.

It's totally shocking isn't it? A lot of people believe that if you smoke some reefer you are going to make bad decisions, you have poor judgement etc etc.

I used to be a profession performer and my main gig was stilt dancing. I was always stoned off my ass and I would be running top speed, jumping, doing acro, having kids climb on me, swinging people, and doing insane things. Not to mention, eating fire, juggling knives, being a base for fellow acro folks, etc etc All while stoned.... Makes me wonder how many people actually have smoked weed that have posted here.

Come on folks, you get a light buzz like when you smoke a cigarette. It's not like you can't tie your shoes or something. I would love to see a test of form and function before and after smoking.

Dude, I don't know about you, but I can stop time when the hyperdrive kicks in . . .

What are you, 20 years old? Just a wild guess here, but I'd guess there are plenty of BARFers (me included) who started drinking and smoking weed 20 years before you were even born.

This is one of them deals where you'd be better off just listening to those with more experience than you and trusting their judgment.

 

[h2v7]

i dont think i would ever admit to DWI on a public forum?

i had a small claims court and the plaintiff printed out some BARF posts of mine and submitted them as evidence!!!!!!!!

 

[Charmed]

Not until Taco Bell allows motos in the drive thru

I've ridden through my local TB drive thru many times Sober:|

...then maybe this isn't the hobby for you.

Like building/flying model airplanes? Collecting stamps? Gardening?

Maybe if you view motorcycling as a "hobby", its not for you

Judging by the polls I've seen on the average BARFer age, in my case, might be more like 30 years!

Riding with any kind of impairment is dumb.

Justifying it is even dumber.

Promoting it is simply reckless.

Lawl you can't be serious.

I heard about this kid that jumped off the Bridge.

He got so high he thought he was a damn bird.

 

[Abacinator]

Lulz. This discussion is futile. There can be no consensus. Some people think it's okay, some think it's not. Some people think MJ is the devil. Some not so much.
