You know what else raises a person's heart rate and blood pressure...getting arrested
Hahahahahaha but USA law doesn’t care about that! Cause jails should be FULL!!! 😂😂😂
Yea heart rate is absurd. I have anxiety, it’s in my file, official diagnosis. Generalized anxiety disorder, so I can get anxiety for any reason really (no reason) even when I know it’s for no reason but can’t stop it. I have measures such as breathing to help, but I can’t stop it.
I also have not horrific social anxiety, but there’s above average for sure. Getting arrested? My BPM is already very high naturally because of my anxiety, I also run low in terms of blood pressure. I have no idea why my BP runs low, but it does. Not abnormal, but on the very low side of normal. I spent a lot of time in hospitals, so when I first got there they had to adjust to my naturally low BP, and my naturally high heart rate. At first they were scared to give me pain meds with my blood pressure being on the low end, bc that can be a sign of central nervous system depression.
It took a couple weeks of them seeing my heart rate and blood pressure numerous times a day before they realized it was the normal and felt ok about it. During that time I was under medicated after a couple surgeries and it was quite terrible. They thought anxiety meds would lower my heart rate, but they don’t. They thought pain meds would, but they don’t unless it’s a VERYYYYYY large amount. Either one basically, they’d need to be knocking me out or close for it to have much of an effect.
These drs are so petrified too, like I had transferred from another hospital where I’d been for months and they already had that stuff in my file. They wanted to see it for themselves anyway though, and 95% of staff didn’t care if that meant me suffering. Some did and stepped in, but that was fairly rare. Those were usually the most experienced, most respected drs with some expertise in some area. It didn’t have to be in that subject, but power in general commands respect.
Sorry for the long post, but ya I’d fail so fast sober. I don’t drive, don’t have a license and never have. But I’d probably have a better chance of passing the field tests with like 1-2 drinks in my system than stone cold sober tbh. Im not much of a drinker so that’d be enough to lower my anxiety, lower my heart rate, etc. Obviously I’d need them to not smell it though 😂
And a camera in his face lol
Or just being anxious / nervous or have social anxiety
You only get arrested if your doing something illegal though? Idk
They should do a comparison between an everyday weed smoker driving and a first time smokers driving
I'm stoned 24/7
I’ve been stoned 24/7 for 10 years. I volunteer
yeah.. exactly..
You know for a fact that a first time toker that drives is a horrible idea 💀
Right I don’t get pissed when someone cuts me off. Just go with the flooooow
"yeah let me just check your pulse during this incredibly stressful situation and use it to determine if you're high and then you have to somehow prove you're not in court"
List all the symptoms of being pulled over and put into a jail cell... LOL
Exactly
You'd only be stressed if you have something to hide. Heart rate, eye color and coordination are only blunt factors to determine probable cause for a blood test. If you're test comes back negative, literally nothing happens. If officers weren't allowed to arrest on probable suspicion of a crime, they would literally never get anything done.
@@jack6450not true people have anxiety that causes stress or panic for no reason so you sir are a dumbass
@@jack6450 This comment screams boot licker. I’m glad interactions with police do not make you nervous, but that is not the case for majority of individuals considering you don’t typically interact with police unless they suspect you or somebody you know has done something.
You’ve also missed the elephant in the room of not being able to effectively tell if an individual has become impaired with the use of marijuana.
That cop is using his PTSD from one incident to charge as many as he can with DUI
No the cop is letting his experience of not stopping someone he should have from keeping another young teen dead from DUI.....
2:25 "like a full joint a day" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 brother would crash out on a dab.
😂😂😂 I take down about 9 blunts a day 1 joint in 1 day I would be irritated knowing that's all I have 😂😂😂😂
@@garvinbobojr.887fuckin stoner 🦭🧌❤
bro i cried when he said that
For some of us, 1 joint or a couple bowls will affect us with the same intensity as someone who smokes for example 10 bowls. Body type and DNA has a lot to do with how high you'll get for a given amount of weed. I'm really skinny with a small amount of body fat which usually concludes to getting more high from less marijuana. Thc is stored in fat and is regularly filtered out, if you have less fat, it fills your THC storage much faster than if you have more body fat.
Gotta get someone who does a morning and night joint 😭😭
The pulse rate thing is so stupid, the red and blue lights are designed to trigger a panic response
Absolutely. Every time they account his body's behavior to marijuana use, it is simply a symptom of anxiety. Maybe we should stop confronting our citizens and just drug test them right away.
@@user-ou9bd1oh7u a blood sample requires a warrant unless the suspect is unconscious or faces other exigent circumstances. The wisest thing to do is deny the test, get arrested and fight the case in court.
I drink so much coffee I'm failing that any day
Exactly, same with blood pressure. They both increase with stress, and being wrongfully arrested is stressful and scary af.
@@bender1187 That was my first thought too like damn I'm about to get pulled for driving under the influence of red bull lol
My blood pressure rises whenever I find myself in front of a police officer.
Yes
Police are tyrants how wouldn't one have high pressure
My blood pressure raises whenever theres an SUV / Truck around me. These things are death maschines. Killing more people then maschine guns, no matter what you say. Makes me feel more unsafe every day.
Having 10 times the average DUI arrests is not a good thing. It means he is a crazy outlier. That officer needs therapy to talk through that one incident he encountered.
Bro if the test results poitive its just fact. The cop is doing his job
@@sikerow3180 you literally didn’t watch the video. Or you didn’t get the point even a little bit.
@@Andres23K probably not looked at that way in the law enforcement community. Had to go to a victims panel for DUII for being disabled basically, the officer leading it had about the same story.
@@sikerow3180 well this is a comment someone left on the video: "As someone who has lived in Lynnwood, I instantly recognized the name of the officer in the ride along. Locally he is known as an unhinged tyrant who eagerly violates civil rights. It was revealing to hear that he is doing all of this out of personal guilt stemming from his own failure...every villain has an origin story. I especially loved it when he said "if there is nothing in his blood it certainly makes his case more defensible."
@@sikerow3180 theres a big difference between doing his job and harrasing every driver. Its not normal, he thinks every driver is DUI. Also cannabis tests (even blood test) are so bad, because you can have THC in your blood but you arent actually high or impaired at all, unlike with alcohol. Hes definitely taken some innocent people to jail.
Moral of the story don't drive super fkin high, drive just a little high.
Got it Towlie👽🗿👽
just a smidge 🤣
happened to me too, its been over 5yrs & enspondged off my record but the cop told me "i passed the sobriety test but whether i know or not, everytime you hit a joint your impaired for up to 30days.." that was his response after me saying i haven't smoked in a few days which was true + him saying i past the test but askling when the last time i smoked + me being honest led to him being able to arrest me knowing it'd be in my system still regardless but i refused the blood test, would've easily beat the case i'm sure but my lawyer was a small county lawyer who's whole job means getting extended court days up until you take your plea, lost liscense for about a year over my 1st & only DUI + was out around $1,200 in fines + DUI classes which was also around $250 or so.... this vid reminded me of all this lol
GREAT VID AS ALWAYS & STAY BLESSED!
Thats some straight up bullshit.
Arresting officer is also the person doing the MEDICAL testing to determine guilt? Sounds like a problem...
💯‼
“ if the bloodwork comes back negative then he has a defendable case forsure “ .. should be thrown out immediately wtf.
its so crazy some countrys where you can smoke, they have laws like that...
NL does it, it is automaticly your fault if the other guy did not make a real accident...
in theory people can run into the side of your car and you have to pay
Is he a registered nurse or doctor? And to those that get pulled over and or arrested, shut the fxck up!
@20:21... Who, please tell me who is going to have a normal pulse range after being pulled over, interrogated (shut the fxck up) and if you agree to the test is going to have a normal pulse range? Lol😂 this is ridiculous. This is illegal. Fxck don't touch me.

both equally as bad
@@ProSynyster no depends tho
@@ProSynysterhuh?? Being on a phone means you are automatically distracted to some extent you can be high and be just as focused as someone sober 🤣

20:24 This police man is a joker 😂 I drove a car through an obstacle course, took 2 hits and now im talking to you. Yeah my heart rates 140 😅
8:35 “a more defendable case” not even a negative drug test will clear this cop’s suspicions 😭
I noticed that as well. Goes to show you the f*ckery involved
One minute in, I am just going to go out on a limb and say ... I suspect cellphones, not cannabis, are driving the uptick in accidents.
1000000% on the same page and I'm in the last minute of the video.
Weed presents its own set of challenges but we could go a far way in reducing accidents by tamping down on operating cell phones. Very dangerous.
I think rage and aggressiveness are also on the rise.
Nah it's phones! I smoke while driving all the time. I never touch my phone. Focus on the road and pretend I'm playing MId night club 3 dub edition. (No accidents you can talk to my insurance company too)
I had an uber driver one day have his phone hidden near his lap, swipping at tiktoks! Reels got people hooked like crack, swipping away all day xd
I avoid driving while high, but when i do i am more patient driver than sober. When i'm sober i speed and rush, but when i'm high i have time to wait for others.
yea fr, sober me would be annoyed that the light hasn't changed while the high me couldn't give af and everyone around is in the same boat 😂
This is not normal behavior for being sober. It sounds like there are other issues at play.
@@testing2517 how do you know what is normal behavior for me? Or anyone? Isn't that relative? What do you think is normal behavior when sober? We are all different.
I also usually drive faster and am more impatient when i've had coffee. It's a stimulant after all, but no one counts it as a high. It's so normal.
In Chicago, a pass time is to get high and drive down the high way the runs by Navy pier lmaoooo, beautiful sights and good music while high? Really nice nights and summer evenings 😎
That cop is exactly who SHOULDN'T be handling DUI situations. He's too emotionally invested.
Absolutely, an arrest that could ruin somebody's career or aspirations should never be taken lightly. I'm very surprised how that cop was proud of the high number of his arrests. In fact, I would like to look at his numbers of DUI charges DROPPED after arrest. I would bet that percentage is higher than average aswell. Can't imagine not being guilty and going through it. Sometimes cops deviate away from their main role in society
Nah, based cop
Yes and no, prevention is much better than having to deal with the consequences of something, but if the event of getting arrested changes someones life forever it's for the better not to arrest the person if he doesnt commit any illegal things.
The problem with this approach is that it is only clear what is the best option after the fact, and not before, so i would in my opinion say that prevention is always better, just like the guy that made the app

I thought this was new and got excited for the return of Weediquette, then saw it is from 2016. How did I never see this one.
You should have asked "How much money does the state get from arresting people with pot in their system while driving. I'm willing to bet it is one of their biggest money makers and that is their excuse to keep arresting innocent people.
Please. I've been smoking and driving since 15, I'm 68 and still driving high. Never had an accident, had 2 tickets my entire life. Cell phones are 100% more dangerous.
The media is slowly forcing the narrative on us. It’s funny because the people making these laws have zero clue about driving high. I agree that cell phones are a bigger problem, yet I rarely see police enforcing the law
Same here, I’m only 38 tho. Ain’t had a ticket in almost 20 years.
Literally
Whataboutism. You shouldn't use your phone or drive high.
@@S.1-I-I-1-1I don't think you know what you are talking about.
that prosecutor not even being willing to be informed in the slightest about marijuana impairment speaks to the system we have in this country
The cop is traumatized from losing the person who ran the stop sign and killed someone from being intoxicated. He never received help, so he goes after everyone who is driving bad.
He’s a dawggg
One persons trauma becomes another's! I wonder how many innocent peoples lives he ruined to make up for it!?
Isn't the point of a cop doing a traffic stop to go after people who are driving bad?
@@tabbycat406 Nah he's abusing his power and needs therapy. He's literally waiting for someone to do a slight mistake and pull them over, like that one car that was driving south on the north lane. What if he just made a mistake or a wrong turn?
@@lewisgraham9117are you stupid? Driving into oncoming traffic is more than reasonable cause for a traffic stop. I don’t want that driver hitting and killing my family
I love the way these videos are put together. Really thoughtful
We should make driving under the influence of nicotine and caffeine illegal as well using that logic.
Check your pulse while a cop is in front of you? This is BS.
Dumbest thing ever. Heart rate is always elevated, just walking around a normal heart rate would already be above 100. Then would add driving and being pulled over? 145 would be the minimum for a normal sober person too. Absolute crap
Also after doing all those stunts clearly your heart rate will rise a bit 🤦🏻♂️
@@AshraNashal52my resting heart rate is pretty high bc of generalized anxiety disorder. It’s funny bc my BP runs on the very low end of normal, kinda weird. Never got a good explanation from a Dr even though I spent years in and out of hospitals and inpatient PTs. Obv the elevated heart rate was anxiety, or that’s the reason I was given every time. The BP though? No idea. Again it was considered normal still, but on the very low end. Low enough to where I was denied pain meds at new facilities multiple times due to a low BP. So 🤷♂️
@@AshraNashal52what has BMI to do with it?

260 work days in a year, 240 DUI arrest? So, almost daily, he makes an arrest? 🤔
YEah hes been a cop for one year clearly you stoned clown
Or multiple a night
yep lots of minorities for him to arrest.
Is this what being a cop is all about??? Anyone can have their heart rate raised on the situation it self …
This officer was a well known civil rights violater, anyone who has lived near or in Lynnwood and had any dealings with Lynnwood PD knew about the terrible violations by them. Brinkman died of a heart attack 4/11/2021, so we will never see justice for so many people wrongly arrested. It is sad that he passed away and I am sorry for the family, the above statements are not facts, but are many experiences by residents. I also do appreciate the amount of lives he saved by removing actual drunk drivers, which he was a master at. A quote from a collegue of his: “
He had the most DUI arrests in Snohomish County, if not the state, multiple years in a row,” Lynnwood Cmdr. Cole Langdon said. “He had a talent for connecting with people, including criminal suspects. He treated people right and he treated them with dignity. He tried to get them on the path to moving in the right direction. You love the sinner, but don’t like the sin.”
Officer makes 10 times the arrest rate and he out here thinking he saving lives... part of the problem for sure
*ruining lives. there fixed it
@@hdgdhnxbdx1619 now I did
12:07 “So how’d you get into pot” he went straight into it 😂
This topic is great to talk about. I just got out of jail for this exact crime. I was irresponsible, and I needed to be put into check. It is an immense responsibility to drive on our roads. The whole world is at our fingertips. That brings with it our responsibility for all of us to be able to respect our pursuit to survive.
Reminder: marijuana rarely if ever is linked to death and alcohol is responsible for 140,000 deaths yearly :)
180 now
I would say to this someone who has had a couple of beers is more aware than someone who's had a couple joints that's just my opinion
@@AJ_1988 I would agree, but a couple of beers is not comparable to a couple of joints. Anyone smoking a couple of joints has a very high tolerance or wants to get extremely high. Notice how one joint had this medical patient calmed and no pain for the entire day, compared to someone who drinks where a couple beers may be compared to a half a joint. If we were talking a whole joint, maybe three beers for the average man. Three joints would be compared to ten or so joints.
@@AJ_1988someone who had a few joints will be much more aware then someone who had a few big bottles
There's a study out there from June 2024 or so showing that edibles have no effect on driving besides slower driving. People on edibles in the study had so few accidents it was considered insignificant. Plenty of accidents with weed also had alcohol, or are just like this guy - sober but it's in their blood, so recorded as a drugged driving incident. I'm not saying smokers don't get in wrecks, but the stigma is ridiculously overblown.
weed is an interesting case in terms of psychoactive intoxicants. when your tolerance is low and you have only done it maybe a few times, it can be an intense psychedelic. if you use it every day, it can be less "intoxicating" than a cigarette, and even bring you more into focus. so the danger of "high driving" truly comes down to the user and frequency of usage.
also the difference between the concept of a "head" high and a "body" high, and the body high being more likely to make someone "think they are intoxicated". i push back on this. the head high actually makes you think you are more intoxicated than you actually are (the opposite of alcohol), and far more likely to force someone to consciously be more worried, more concerned, more cautious, more attentive than you normally would be while driving. whether that is a good thing or a bad thing, i cannot say, but it is far less likely to make you intentionally drive recklessly. the body high of say alcohol, however, is very likely to make you both think that you can drive while intoxicated, that you arent as intoxicated as you think and that even driving recklessly wouldn't be that dangerous.
Great comment!!
Worded perfectly. Thanks for the nice read.
There’s nothing special about weed in that way. It’s called building a tolerance
Great comment , very on point
VERY TRUE! When I first started smoking thc carts I would be goneee. My first time I was with a friend and I started driving around. 10-15 minutes in I could barely drive 😂. I just pulled over and waited for my sister to pick me up. 😂 About two years in, I can drive fine although I don’t really drive if I’m stoned just rather not take a chance. Not because I’m swerving all over the road, I just drive pretty quick all the time.
"If the blood test comes back drug-free then its a more defendable case for sure." He'd still charge him!? WTF?
@@nicholasagnew2792 Yes this is why I hate north america
Mythbusters did an episode on this.
Compared driving stoned, to driving drunk, to driving tired and a control being sober and rested.
THERE WAS NO DISCERNABLE DIFFERENCE between the control and the person who drove stoned.
The person who drove tired had similar behavior to the person who was drunk.
Draw your own conclusions.
As someone who has smoked weed for 33 years, I agree with their findings.
I dont drink at all, by choice. Its damaging to the body in many ways.
Edit: after finishing the video....they are looking for dui arrests. The people in power in this video are so biased it was troubling to my mind. The course instructor was stretching, that ball would scare someone sober and the trickery in the car was not at all comparable to real driving! Give a closed course, without an instructor, WITH pop up surprises. That is comparable to real life.
This is clearly more antipot propaganda, with misinformation making laws and procedures. I am 100% against driving drunk or tired. I am also 100% for giving everyone in rush hour a joint. It will lower road rage and slow people down.
This video got a Thumbs down from me because of the clear message VICE is trying to push.

No doubt he was DUI levels, and I’ve sided with ppl who have that silly blood test bc I’ve seen heavy smokers fail it days after last partaking, even weeks in one circumstance. For a hair test you’re talking numerous months, and for urine it was like 3mo. He was obese, and it stores in fatty tissue afaik so I’m sure that doesn’t help.
It’s very arbitrary and I’d be very scared as a regular smoker who needed to drive but also needed to smoke for pain or whatever.

@gaslitworldf.melissab2897😂😂😂
What's clear to me is that everyone that's bullish on weed laws and rules has a lot of personal bias. The cop thinks he could have prevented a death; the prosecutor thinks she can prevent homicide; Normal people have personal anxieties that they project. This kind of lack of nuance is why people don't want AI judges, lawyers, doctors. But, we let people who have personal biases set the laws? Weird.
AI judge 😂😂
AI can literally hallucinate and could very easily hallucinate a criminal statute that doesn't exist and throw you in prison. A computer should never be trusted with those types of decisions.

Yeah, right. You’re already nervous at the moment your being pulled over also.
At any moment in life you could be caught off guard, passing a driving test we know to be present and be aware.

That could not have been scientifically proven at all.
I honestly feel like I should be the baseline for all weed related "under the influence" things. He sucks at driving in the first place....so his baseline is already bad.
I was charged with an OWI with only 1.4ng Delta THC. I was an avid user. Failed the field sobriety tests because I have severe PTSD and also had not slept in 4-5 days on top of ADHD to add confusion to it. Costs me a lot of money, jail time, driving restrictions and more intense PTSD do to the circumstances of the arrest and going into psychosis. I had an evaluation for PTSD. Nothing I did to explain my already existing Disease/injury had any affect on the court systems sentencing. Field sobriety tests are designed to make you fail and it's up to the officers discretion. In my case he suspected I was on Meth which was not the case and not present in my blood. The whole situation set my life back in a major way with no accountability from the system.
why are you driving if you havent slept for 4-5 days plus PTSD? yoy could kill somebody and even yourself smh
I'm terribly sorry that happened, but you probably shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel of a vehicle in the first place if you were awake for one hundred and twenty hours prior. That is extreme sleep deprivation and it's extremely dangerous to be in that state while driving.
Im all for responsible drug use, but driving after not sleeping for 4/5 days is Extremely Dangerous, arguably more so then driving on meth. Add your severe PTSD on top of the sleep deprivation to the equation and I would say the officer made a responsible call removing you from behind that wheel.
wtf are you doing driving on no sleep for 5 days? Lock him up

Lynnwood, WA. 1976. Busted by their cops for smoking weed while parked. Told to follow the cop to the station a mile away. We did - and threw our weed out the window along the way! Put us in cells anyway, parents called. Nobody talked, everybody walked, no charges. I'm the only one that invested into the industry, retired at age 50. Weed has been very good for me! Drive SAFE kiddos and avoid Lynnwood, WA. Its changed...
"Unless the people getting stoned become the people in power, the legal implications of being high will always be to punish, rather than to understand". Perfectly put.
Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. No exceptions. It's so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?
I live up in the hills near Altadena, and just getting to Target is at least a 15-minute drive. To be honest, I’ll smoke a little joint here and there while driving to the store. I’ve never been ‘too high’ to drive, and I’ve never felt like things were going to go wrong. If anything, smoking makes me more focused-I tend to drive slower and more carefully.
So you're that guy going up Eaton Canyon at 20mph.
😅😅😅
I can't drive while high because I also have severe ADHD.. when I'm high, my reaction times are slower. I use it for chronic pain as well.
Cant believe it gives them the right to arrest someone just cause they smoked it the same day and failed a dui test cause the person can’t walk it correctly due to surgery
how many times did YOU miss the turn? xD
I was diagnosed with ADHD at age 7, Dr's doped me up on all sorts of trash until age 12. I first smoked weed at age 11, was smoking chronically by age 13. Effects me the total opposite of your claim, allows me to hyper focus, and stay on the task at hand. Reaction time unaffected.
@@jonathanforlin1854hell yeah
@@jonathanforlin1854 Same turn on some high bpm music as well and I'm having a great time
I can win on my race simulator unscratched after smoking a joint or less, but after a single beer or glass of wine I'm unable to prevent light contact.
Same I smoke then get top 12 in the world on EA WRC time trials, but sober I tend to lose focus and make more mistakes
@@novai6554 I'm too aggressive sober when racing which causes more tire and fuel usage along with greater change of contact, but not as bad as with alcohol.
@@novai6554 I was ranked #1 on 2k basketball back in 2013, and played every game high. I'm good at racing games too. It's not me that's hitting people and all over the track. I feel the same driving a car too. I'm super focused and have dodged people that almost hit me many times. Never been in a wreck that's my fault, or even close to it. Have dodged many deer and animals and always watching the sides of the roads. I don't even know what they were talking about when they said it impaired your peripheral vision.
@@jasonconrad5772 Yep it's all about being smooth asf
Krishna is a really great journalist. Programs like his opens up your eyes to a world that is not really fully "there" yet
This dude pulled out the whole damn stem 😂 22:19
All these people making decisions when they claim to have the full picture but do not is so exhausting.
Three big milky rips.. proceeds to take 3 tiny snap hits hahaha 😂
If you get pulled over by a cop looking like that, you go to jail either if you were right or not 😂
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 na fr
Some of the best drivers I know are daily weed smokers, tolerance def plays a huge part, thank you vice for shining more light and weed!
Love the effort
Bong rips for science 🎉
Vice really thought they could just make every video weed related and be a hit
I haven’t watched a vice video in almost 3 years, has the quality in video or anything improved or would you say it’s played out now?
@@axelbuisha558 they literally filed for bankruptcy earlier this year, i bet theese videos are old discontinued stuff
@@YapuNator it is i saw this years ago
People on their phones, even just talking on them, are WAY worse at driving. Distracted driving... You should test that. Maybe you have, I didn't bother to look. 😆
Legalize cannabis federally now. What's legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians. Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more harmful, dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple!
Very well done documentary
All about profit. They don't care what u r on. We are just cogs in a corrupt system. Have to go through that entire process over a "suspicion". Unconstitutional indeed.
3 bong rips is absurd mate 😂😂
Absurd in what way? I do that daily? Do I gotta slow down?
@@colinmcintyre1769 Do you take a driving test one minute later?
A drunk person will blow through a stop sign
A high person will wait for it to turn green
Been smoking weed for decades. Gotten medals, lead hundreds and was a distinguished graduate from every school. Never smoked before work or in my car. There are times when distractions are deadly. Smoking in your car is an invitation for disaster. Search and seizures, potential arrest and record. Just not worth it. Smoke anywhere else.
The greatest challenge of this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you are right, but not knowing enough about the subject to know you are wrong…
This ride alone got an innocent man arrested and terrorized. Good job Vice. And the pd.
This officer would probably have arrested him anyway based on the numbers
Stuck in another state for two years for pulling over because I was dizzy, for safety. I was sober. I had a weed pen in my car though. They’ve ruined everything I’ve worked for.
@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 I hadn’t eaten or had my meds and was trying to get home to take them. I’m disabled and sometimes get dizzy anyways but usually not while sitting.
@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 I was driving myself to the hospital because of chest pains. I found out later I do have a heart condition. The first thing I asked for was an ambulance and was ignored. I’m a medical patient and it’s legal recreationally; legal to have in the car if not in use but not suggested obviously. It was in an overnight bag I had in case I had to stay at a hospital. Lucky to be alive after the night in jail and being released with no phone, food or medication; a lady found me half dead by the train tracks days later. I do have other permanent medical conditions also but none visible. Like I said, lucky to be alive. No one cares about our rights until we’re dead.
@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 I think my last reply was deleted. So, in short, yes I have a later diagnosed heart condition and permanent physical conditions that aren’t visible. The pen was in my overnight bag for the hospital, not in use. It’s legal recreationally but I legit need it medically and took a long break before driving. Just no good to have anything in your car if not sealed from a dispensary, even then it’s still circumstantial evidence.
yea this was bullshit, i could do this in reverse while smoking a blunt with 5 people in the car with music blasting and blowinmg shotguns to the passenger. like come on
I really like this show. I hope vice brings it back
That driving test was something else!!
I learned to drive after i started smoking, i made a living as a driver for several years while smoking all day; no accidents in all those years. Soon as i stopped smoking, i had my first driving accident.
Maybe i was just lucky, but i dont consider myself to be. Im not saying im skilled either. But having smoked does not gaurantee equal levels of impairment to all people.
Tolerance is the biggest factor here. Give someone without tolerance weed and they cannot drive safely
the real question i have after watching this is it less safe than a majority of bad drivers and is bad driving a crime i understand the test didnt go as good as it shouldve but there are sober people who are far worse than this
I live in Washington 😢 hopefully I don't run into that cop!!
Thank you for the interesting and informative video
I’m an rideshare driver with +5K trips, I was under THC in all of them as I’m a frequent smoker.
I’m all 5 stars, never crashed, in my life, and get compliments about my drive all the time.
But I don’t look or act like a pothead. I have clients over years and they never noticed anything.
I also don’t bring anything to my car.
I believe so many sober driver would have done way worse in this test.
We do need more study.
Blood test over suspicion of intoxication is pretty wild.
You guys have become one of the most disgustingly awful channels on youtube, not only did u get the worst interviewer possible you get the most overly confident officer that loves to feel powerful over everyone
If its not Taji im not watching
this needs to be done i hope you did it good
Being high affects how you drive, would be more accurate to say how you feel driving and it never impairs your self judgement or critical thinking, unlike alcohol which makes you believe you drive good or even better than you really are, besides added impaired time reaction.
So driving drunk is much more dangerous as it pushes you to be more reckless driver, while being high makes you be more cautious driver.
where is result of guys blood test? he was impared?
Impaired
Bullshit.. and false.. you take a non smoker and get him high and say that is the norm. I call bs.
that guy smokes alot he's been in numerous weed videos
He literally said he was a regular weed smoker. Probably doesn't normally have that much before driving though.
Yeah, same for alcohol. Get non alcoholics to test and set standards. Then, all the alcoholics that drink and drive regularly start getting DUI’s FOR NO REASON AT ALL! 🤔
@@jeremyelliott9831 lmao... different substances all together. If you look at the EFFECTS of the different substances one removes self control and the other does not. Compare apples to apples n you make more sense.
@@Shalantu69
Yes, it’s the self control that is the issue. Definitely not the mental and physical response that affects controlling the vehicle and decision making. 🤔
There is absolutely no reason to drive high, and lots not to. You sound like the old news videos of drunks when they discussing the same issue with alcohol.
A guy I know drives for a living (4+ hours a day) and smokes from the time we wakes up to the time he goes to sleep (at least 3.5 grams a day) and has never been at fault in an accident in almost 5 years
3.5 gs a day is actually insane
@souls3073 no it's not
@@davezahayko9973 Absolutely is.... Daily smoker for years and 3.5 lasts me just over a week.
As a person with ADHD and ASD and dyslexic (I mix up left and right when asked) I would fail these tests, but i do have really good balance especially when i used to smoke. Asking me what time it is, I will never know the answer to that. The limit on the blood levels feels extremely low and controversial given that bodyfat and frequency of use play a role in your body's natural resting THC level compared to a person's high THC level. I remember when I first tried pot this was my experience- I would turn my head and my brain knew I did but it was if i could see my brains frame rate and I saw each frame play by and no way i would have been able to function but my mom didn't catch me even tho she came home early and I thought she would be able to tell. Back when I used pot regularly, i no longer got that feeling and i was functional and i went to family events, school (I graduated with two degrees and got better grades when i was smoking) and work (back in fast food and retail and was promoted) but I still never drove out of fear I would hurt someone. This video explains why the scientific method exists, sample size matters and variation.
been smoking 10+ years and i NEED to smoke before I go anywhere to deal with all the horrible ass drivers here in vegas lol
