If we are to be completely objective about it, we should be condemning elderly drivers, drivers with low IQ, drivers with poor hand-eye coordination, drivers with poor vision, angry drivers, etc... Truth is, accidents can't be blamed on one thing. While we can attempt to minimize the risk involved, we can never eliminate it. I say all that to say, nobody should be driving in the first place, no matter what, because we are all susceptible to error. But realistically, we know that it really comes down to an acceptable level of risk. And the only way to put one thing above the other when it comes to risk, is to prove it with statistics. So when it comes to what's more risky to drivers, opinions probably aren't the best argument.

Retards and old people can't help the way they are. Not taking drugs before you drive is a perfectly simple and effective way to reduce an unneccesary risk though.

I agree. I wasn't really trying to justify it, but I do think there's a certain level of unused judgment regarding risk reduction, and when someone points out the fact that driving under the influence of a drug is a bad idea, I'd expect them to also point out all the other avoidable bad ideas that many people overlook while on the road.

When you drive a car, you should be driving a car.
I shall not deny that I talk to my fellow passengers or eat an apple or such, but I am always with my mind and eyes on the road.
Apart from that, risking other peoples lives on the road is just well... close to murder when it goes wrong.

Whats the difference between the synth stuff and the original stuff?

Organic qualities, mostly.

And no one is really sure if the synthetic stuff can kill you or not. But it's semi-legal and doesn't show on pee pee tests, so it's very popular amongst working pot-heads, people on probation, military etc.

Some of the bigger headshops, like The Magic Bus in Broad Ripple, might not sell synthetics to avoid any potential legal trouble.. but as far as I know it's still legal to sell here, didn't have any trouble getting it at a different headshop just down the road. I'm sure they're pushing to get it made illegal, though.

What does it smoke like? Cos tbh I think even hash is a bit of a dirty smoke, not my first choice

I heard also that smoking a rollup of mint gives you a high for like a minute. Sort of works I dunno, just made me think of sunday roast and mint sauce. I think it's just a headrush.
