I'm wondering if any one else has noticed the smell of rx much more frequently wafting out of cars.
When I'm riding, I can smell everything.
And this smell seems to be on the rise.
Are more people actually driving around while getting high?
I find this very disturbing.

I wouldn't doubt it

I live in the pot capital, British Columbia. Here if I don't smell pot, I think I'm in another country. Yes it's alarming, when traveling at 60+ mph, and you can smell it...

I haven't noticed this myself, but then, I live in Utah where it's still 1955.

That said, people getting high while operating vehicles is nothing new, my stoner buddies in high school called it 'space cruising'. I can't think of any recent changes in pot legislation that would account for a rise in vehicular use, that is, all the people who are likely doing it now were likely doing it a year ago too.

Haven't noticed, but most of my riding is either on rural roads or interstates. I don't ride very much in suburban or urban areas. I suspect however that you're right, Flipper.

Now I wonder which makes you more "impaired", driving while stoned or while texting?

At least the stoned dudes are (debatably) still looking at the road.

I think I would like that.

Yes, it is more frequent. Not enough enforcement.
