Does smoking pot have any negative or adverse effects on riding/racing
dirt-bikes? Does it inhibit motor skills and create a danger to other
riders if someone has recently smoked pot?

Any comments, suggestions, bad jokes, etc. appreciated...

Back a few years ago I would partake of a little smoke occasionally (OK alot
but who's counting). When I rode I could ride like a pro. I lost all fear
and could fly. Until the day I got a little too wild and started trick
jumping. Landed a no footer or two, got a little whippage going on. Then I
decided to try a nac-nac (this was when JMG was doing them). Foot hangs on
the seat and I land one footed messing up my knee and shoulder. My opinion
is don't smoke pot!!! It about killed me on a motorcycle and almost killed
me with an asthma attack. I haven't smoked pot in 2 1/2 years now and never
regret quiting. I still partake of the Lord's good brew but never before or
during riding

If you can ride with your brain 10 seconds behind your ass, smoke'm if you
got'em. Years ago I was at a party with a girl fiend, a kid was high and I
was asked to talk to him, he was perfectly able to carry on a conversation
if I waited 10 seconds for his mind to work.

I don't care who smokes what, as long as they stay away from roads,
machinery, guns and knives.

Smoking pot and riding motocross are fine as long as you are doing allot
of doubles and triples on a ported CR500 and not wearing a helmet. I
usually find riding stoned most enjoyable when wearing shorts and sandals.
Party on dude.

I think it depends on the person.

Guys I ride with have a "rider's meeting" out in the woods every time
we go. Personally, I can't function without chemicals in my brain.

Well, never got on anything motorized, but we used to bake up at night
and then hit the mountain bike trails through the backwoods, Amazing
thinking back that none of us cracked our skulls, but I guess a
combination of knowing the paths by heart, some ample starlight, and
GPS (Ganja powered senses) kept us safe... So, actually I guess I
provided you with absolutely no help.

Yep. Just as drinking alcohol or taking prescription drugs would dull you
senses.

Not much question about this one, even from some of the people in the group
who might have had a bong hit or two in the past.

Oh no..... drugs do NOT effect your riding ability. This is just urban
legend. I usually drop some acid and open up 4th gear in tight trails.

Err. I'm not sure about riding, but when i smoked the stuff, i did fairly well
in school. I just didn't smoke-out before i got to school, and carried a 3.0
throughout freshman year, and my sophmore year. Whatever you do on your own
time is fine with me, but don't ride high, cause you put all of us on the track
in danger.

Yeah it inhibits motor skills for sure, and generally fucks your mind
around too. I wouldn't "operate heavy machinery" after smoking if you
know what i mean ;)

I think if you are a "pot person" then you are helped by it. If your
body doesn't get along with THC very well (like me) then I think you
would end up talking to some trees somewhere and wondering where the
hell that little bunny with the top hat went...
Several of my buddies raced downhill mountain bikes (one expert, one
intermediate, and one novice) and they "fired up" a bowl or two before
races sometimes and were *very* focused. When I rode with them
sometimes they were *too* focused and you could sit there for a 1/2
hour or more with a flat before they realized you were missing.
Anyway, if it works for Emig, then it must be good!!! ;-)
Don't believe the Government's hype..

What I recall from studies years ago is that THC didn't affect reaction
time that much. It does affect attention span. They monitored the eye
movements of drivers. Clean drivers were always scanning the road and
mirrors. Stoned drivers tended to scan much less.

Interesting question. I will share some experiences later (involving my
broken leg).

It's just a little posession ticket, like a traffic fine man. Chill.

Otherwise I don't give a shit.

Wow. Nice crosspost! :) Judging by pot's effects on driving, I'd guess you
could ride a motorbike stoned too. You'd just ride very very slowly.

No offense but you can't say that you necessarily did this BECAUSE of pot, shit,
people wipe out when they're sober all the time. I think you're just trying to
vent your frustrations and blame your mistakes on marijuana simply b/c society
has made people think it's all right to do so.

Good for you, I've been smoking for almost 4 years and I never regret starting

Drinking is a LOT more dangerous than marijuana, and I'm not talking about just
when it comes to riding dirt bikes.

I study herbs a bit and the good things that I found out about
Cannabis are these ( when used in moderation of course)
1. It is good for glaucoma patients or anyone that has an
occular pressure in their eyes that is approaching glaucoma levels. In other
words , it lowers damaging pressure to eye tissues and the optic nerve.
2. It is good for cancer patients in that it helps with pain
reduction and to regain appetite. The same goes for annorexics.
3. In moderation it also increases.........(SUPRISE!)
endurance.
4. In moderation it lowers bloodpressure
5. In moderation it actually opens up the bronchial passages


All things were put on this Earth for a reason, the problem comes
with abuse of these things. The people who think that Pot in of itself is
bad do not know what the heck they are talking about. It is the people that
give it a bad name by abusing it. Pot is great if you don't abuse it. Follow
the father of medicine Hippocrates and you'll live long. He said "PAN METRON
ARISTON" ( Ancient Greek) which means "everything in moderation" which he
includes the things we call "bad" also to balance things out.

I prefer to down a couple of ludes with a quart of Scotch and then shoot a

makes me hallucinate.

No, you're wrong. I'm not going to go to name-calling on you though you
deserve it.

I'm glad that there are*some* people with enough sense to look after *other*
people's safety -- rather than have a stoned nitwit out practice racing with
the pee-wees on a track with other people who are fully capable of being even
less intelligent without any help.

You can get stoned and ride in the woods where you only hurt yourself.

Nobody has a right to put other people in jeopardy over selfish, clueless,
careless thoughtlessness.

I don't care what you do if you don't hurt anybody. And I've had my share from
way back.

grand poohba " to keep some 9 yr old kid from getting high ,then god danm it so

That's the only way to ride! Around here the kids call that combo
"Concrete Prostate" and it's awesome. I usually drink about a gallon
or 2 of GHB and smoke about 27 or 30 crack rocks in a big gravity-bong
style crack pipe before I hop on my bike. The susbstances kinda
cancel each other out, so that's why you kinda have to do a lot or
else you won't feel anything. Also you have to SuperGlue your hands

Thank you elrond! I don't care how safe you think weed is, it should
be common sense that you shouldn't do something like ride dirt-bikes
while in another state of consiousness. I mean, you're not only a
danger to yourself, you're a danger to other riders. That's really
not cool!

Just smoke after you ride, or at least ride by yourself if you insist
on being high.

Jesus....I almost managed to stay out of this. Is *illegal* the operative
word here ? Are you assuming the lawgivers are the ultimate knowledge and
authority ? If so where are you at on *legal* drugs such as tobaco, alcohol,
ritalin, valuim. prozak. estrogen....

NOT a pot smoker BUT not because it's illegal.

P.S. Not to start a flame war, but if a 9 y.o. kid WANTS to get high he WILL get
high.

And how does this relate to smoking dope and putting yourself and other's at

And Clinton's motto, too. IMO, that's at the core of a lot of what's wrong with
today's world. The "If I didn't get caught, it's okay" attitude is modeled for
us by all level of goverenment and business "leaders". How do we expect kids to
take responsibility for their actions when we have a president who lies and

So what are you doing? Is it then okay when you taken out by some drunk driver
on the way home from the track? He was sure questioning authority in the same
'thinking' way.

Smoke pot where it won't hurt anyone else. After you put the bike away at home,
for example. It's not your RIGHT to put others in danger.

Back in 20's and 30's when the politicos thought people shouldn't be
drinking alcohol, they passed a constitutional amendment that said you could
no longer do so. The country ended up with armed gangs, drive-by shootings
and a lucrative underground black market that engaged in an arms race with
the authorities. They ultimately decided that you can't control what people
do with their own bodies and passed another amendment that nullified the
previous amendment and chalked it up to a big mistake.

With today's new prohibition, we have all the same ingredients without the
constitutional amendment. Why? What is fundamentally different today than
what occured back in the 20s? Just curious what kind of rationale you can
present ...

I can snort all the pollen I want before I ride and it doesn't affect me at
all. I have a friend with allergies that gets watery eyes etc. when he
snorts pollen. He is a danger to me and other riders when he does pollen.
Should pollen be outlawed? Then the only place I'll be able to get it is
from a pollen dealer/gang member! Then I would have to give up pollen
because I don't want to get caught in the crossfire of a pollen gang turf
war.

Everyone reacts differently. What works for you may not work for me.

I've ridden with college kids that smoke before a ride. By some logic here,
that means I (having not smoked) should be able to leave them in my dust.
Odd thing is, they still kick my a**! Do I think I could keep up if I smoked
also? No. Life just isn't fair! (-:

Hey, outlaw pollen and we'll all be outlaws! (Hey man, I can fix you up
with some Claritin-D :-)

While we're discussing laws, there are a bunch of laws I want changed.
I'm going to write to all of my elected officials and demand major
revisions to the laws of physics. It's discriminatory that lesser
riders like myself should always be at the back of the pack. I demand
that slow-white-male minorities like myself be given special exemptions
from the laws of physics. It's my constitutional right to rail around
snotty off-camber corners pulling at least 4 g's. I want to be able to
sail over triple jumps on an XR600. If my bike should fall over, I want
my body to be exempt from gravity.

That's the man's sig file...it goes with everything he posts....and i
bet he couldn't really care about smoking and riding a dirt bike...b/c
i'm pretty sure he doesn't have one...and furthermore...while i don't
know much about dirt biking i'm pretty sure you don't ride on crowded
streets...if your out in the backwoods by yourself there is no one to
injure except yourself and maybe some innocent saplings.

Some of the same reasons that a drunk driver is putting people at risk. Slower
reaction time and impaired judgement among others. Sure, most of the time it
works out okay but it increases the risk.

For one thing, there have been numerous studies done in different
countries that all come to the same conclusion...driving a motor
vehicle while under the influence of marijuana is not a hinderance to
one's performance...there haven't been any dirt-bike studies though,
to my knowledge.

You have to lick a *lot* of toads before you find one that tastes just

But the tongue exercise is good for a lot of other things....

One of my fondest memories is sitting at the base of the water tank at

And you know what's even funnier? People who ridicule and ignore facts just
because they don't know what they're talking about. Several studies have
concluded that marijuana doesn't affect real-life driving performance. And
as far as riding a dirtbike stoned, it's fine with me as long as all the
other riders agree to it. We should have the right to do with our bodies as

Jessus man, 100% my fault, wrong capitalization.

I just wanted to distinguish 'a person who rides off road' from an
MXer. It's ashame, that there's no term similar to 'crosser' (kind for
german) or MXer for off road riding. Perhaps dirter or dirtride (no,
that's a trademark, i guess)?

No intention of accusing you, whatsoever.

The key word here is "alcohol". Marijuana, unlike most believe, does not
cause that sort of intoxication. The biggest risk for a person driving
stoned is that he'll doze off. I've driven stoned too many times to
count, and it's not a big deal at all...unlike driving drunk. Won't do
that.

Anyway, the point is...did any of your friends get into an accident
after smoking ONLY marijuana?

Okay, first of all no one can bust someone for smokin' except a cop. Next
the BUST I was referring to is physical; not a metaphor for arrest. I don't
recall where you got the "being an asshole" but okay you still can't bust
anyone for that. My point is that if you go looking for trouble you will
find it. If you mind your own business you will be less likely to become a

This thread isn't about ALCOHOL use anyway. If you think the effects of pot
and alcohol are at all comparable, then you are ignorant. You might as well
say caffeine use while riding will kill you. I wouldn't advocate driving or
riding in any condition other than stone sober, but your statement
"...won't be burdening the rest of us with your pot smoking offspring"
shows your true colors.

Actually there is such a thing as a "Citizen's Arrest" You just have to be

And, resisting a citizen's arrest is the same as resisting an officer.
A citizen can arrest anyone for breaking the law.

I don't like Bill either, but that's b/c of his idiocy and bullshit policies, where

Well, when I get a dirt bike, I doubt that I'll personally ride high, but for right
now it's up to the jurisdiction of the person riding. I'm not saying it's a good
idea, I'm just saying that people know how they act high and if they are used to
operating motor vehicles (and can do a good job of it like most people I know) then I
shouldn't have a problem with it. It's no dangerous than those that ride under the
influence of caffeine or other perscription drugs or such.

> It's not your RIGHT to put others in danger.

I know, and I wouldn't do it. The thing is, most of the people I know drive better
high b/c you're more cautious and aware of what's going on around you (not everyone)
so if they can drive better high then they are actually risking lives by driving
sober : )
