No that is not true. Marijuana does not make you a better driver. The side effects of smoking it are usually calmness, & being mellow. I have never heard of it making you a better driver you can drive normal if your not stoned off your ***. If your really stoned well then I wouldnt recommend driving period. Then again depending on your immune system and how it reacts to it maybe different then how others have.

One older English study suggested that dope makes you a 'better driver' (defined as fewer accidents), however the same study points out that what is really happening is that a mildly buzzed driver tends to drive more slowly and with more paranoia.
The same study also noted that they also tend to get pulled over because they show the same 'super careful' tendencies that drunken drivers often show.

Yes it is true. If you smoke pot you'll be smarter than someone on crack and you will drive better than a paraplegic.

Well, only if you smoke enough, then it is true. Also, having a few stiff drinks really helps your situation even greater.

It's absolutely true. Here's an idea: why don't you go to the Religion & Sprituality board and ask this same question and see what responses you get then! :-D

Actually it slows down your reaction time to things like people slamming on there breaks. But it can also make you more aware of these things cause it makes you drive slower, and pay attention more if you are high.

Yeah, both pot and alcohol do the same thing that's why cops are always trying to get people to drink and drive more. Dumb@ss.

That definitely sounds like something a "dealer" would tell you. Sounds like good false advertising.
