Drivers smoking cannabis

[gareth h]

I had a spin down to Poole bike night last night, passed two vans with open windows in which the drivers were obviously smoking dope, the second was really going for it, doing 80 ish, decided to bide my time before passing him as was a bit unsure of reactions.
I haven't ridden for a couple of years, is this fairly normal?

Are you sure you didn't inhale some of the herb and it was the same van?

If you see a black Juke that whiffs a bit, give us a wave

[Dakkon]

I smell it regularly passing traffic commuting in and out of London

[Plug Life]

I prefer laughing gas.

I smell it quite frequently coming from usually builders vans. fking stinks.

However the worst/funniest I ever encountered was when I was in the car on the M62. For those that know the road you will appreciate how bad the smell must have been to have covered this distance.

It was a very quiet motorway, scorching day, First smelled the weed at junction 22 (top of Saddleworth going eastbound). The smell got stronger and stronger - it was comical. We eventually caught up with the culprit at the top of the hill after Scammonden dam - not sure but that must be six or seven miles. It was an old Merc with smoke pouring out of the drivers window being driven by a huge black bloke smoking the most enormous spliff in Christendom, he looked like Presuming Ed. He was doing about 40 miles an hour and must have been absolutely off his face given the potency of the stuff left literally miles in his wake.

I too have noticed this, that said now I've quit smoking I can smell a fag through the nasal duct like a shark in water with a trace of menstrual blood. I literally was almost wanting to go lick the fingers of a guy sat at the lights smoking the other day as I smelt the lovely fags waft into my helmet.

Smell it regularly on my commute through town morning and evening.

Must be some stellar weed to make you buy a juke

I live in South East Essex, everything smells of weed

[555 Paul]

Smell it all the time around where I live when I'm cycling or riding, it's normally from vans of small hatchbacks. The Police around here are doing quite a lot of drug testing now so hopefully the message gets out.

Everyday riding into London.
Scaffolding lorries and plumbers seem to be top of the list.

I think decorators are the worst offenders, seemingly puffing away all day at work & during the commute...

I worry if you'd even be able to get a plasterer if you stopped skunk. I thought they ran off the stuff?

Caught them having a puff in their car on lunch break at my site in the past. Painters generally are the most laid back on site. I find it quite therapeutic myself (painting, not skunk ). Perhaps it goes hand in hand.

I also smell it quite often.

When I was commuting into London it was pretty much every day. I never understood how anyone can find a joint appealing at 6.30am on the M1.

It takes the edge off the day.

There will be loads of weed vapers that you can't smell as well.

If you factor in those in a permanent delusion, those on prescription medication and/or pissed, then you may the only sober one on the roads.

This is the one that gets me. There are some very, very heavy drugs out there that no one blinks about driving on.
