Usually I have trouble seeing but my buddy has trouble steering so I drive the car and he tells my when to turn. We're a good drunk driving team😉

[@nokomarie1963]

Um, I think this is great but those drug doses are not normal in 2023, nor on 1978 I'll bet.

[@mexicanspec]

Does anybody here believe MJ is the worst drug? According to this test it is worse than a tranquilizer.

[@sherryhannah9262]

Mexican Spec marijuana is good for you it helps with pain

[@whereswaldo5740]

I always felt marijuana made 6 beers which is too many like 12. Now it’s legalized in many places even for recreation. I’m sure in many minds that also means legal to drive.
