Hah, I'm not particularly proud of it, but I drove around stoned pretty much all the time in high school. In fact, I was stoned pretty much all the time in high school. So much so that I felt normal when I was high.
Surprisingly, I was a much safer, more congnizant driver when I was high for obvious reasons. I never went more than 5mph over the limit, always used my turn signals, etc. It relaxed me and I was often MORE focused on possible dangers, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that my judgement wasn't occasionally impaired as well.
Again, I'm by no means condoning getting high and operating any motor vehicle at all, because I certainly don't do it anymore now that I'm somewhat out of the impetuousness of my youth. This is all coming from the same person who took his SATs stoned too =p
