Stoned & Steering: Edwards’ Take on Weed, Driving

In this episode, host Clay Edwards addresses misconceptions about marijuana use and driving through personal anecdotes and listener interactions. Responding to a texter's claim that "pothead geniuses" believe marijuana users "don't get out and drive" and just "sit at the house and chill," Edwards shares a story of a FedEx driver who delivered a package while reeking of marijuana, confirming that users do drive under the influence. He humorously admits to once priding himself on being a "really good high driver" in his youth, though he notes it now causes him anxiety. Listener Cheyenne recounts losing her husband to a drug-impaired driver, emphasizing the dangers and irresponsibility of driving high. Edwards also discusses the strong odor of modern marijuana detectable even from vehicles on the road, advocating against public consumption while supporting reclassification, and ties it to broader debates on drug myths and safety.
