How to Score Marijuana

Marijuana is the most widely consumed illicit drug in the United States. Obtaining marijuana from a friend or a friend of a friend is the traditional way of scoring pot. Someone somewhere will know someone who deals. If not, make new friends.

Medical Marijuana

Some states have approved medical marijuana legislation. In these states a person can obtain a medical card and procure medicinal marijuana from a marijuana dispensary or collective. Be aware that possessing a medical marijuana card is in violation of federal law, as federal law trumps state law. However there is practically zero interest by the feds for use that does not constitute a substantial commercial endeavor.
It is fairly turnstile to obtain a medical marijuana card. Look for ads in alternative publications by physicians that do medical evaluations for marijuana. Ailments that are treatable by marijuana include: cancer, HIV-AIDS, glaucoma, headaches, depression, sleeping disorders, nausea and chronic pain. To obtain this card, make an appointment with a doctor, explain the ailment and receive a basic examination. This is a routine procedure for ailments treatable by medical marijuana. Be sincere in demeanor. A doctor will write out a Physician’s Statement and Recommendation letter on the spot. Medical evaluations expire after twelve months and need renewal after one year. With the physician statement in hand, visit a local marijuana dispensary. Referrals are available from the facility where the medical marijuana card came from. Alternatively, search the Internet for marijuana dispensaries. The dispensary will verify the physician statement before granting anyone access to the dispensary. Once verified, it is just a matter of selecting the medicine needed to treat the ailment.

Crash in Bed, Not on the Road

Most people are aware of the hazards of drunk driving. But driv­ing while sleepy can be just as dangerous. Indeed, crashes due to sleepy drivers are as deadly as those due to drivers impaired by alcohol. People do not have to be asleep at the wheel to be in danger. Both alcohol and a lack of sleep hamper the ability to react quickly to a suddenly braking car, a sharp curve in the road or other situations that require rapid responses. Just a delay of a few seconds of reaction time can be a life-or-death matter when driving. When sleep deprived people undergo a test using a driving simulator, these people perform as badly or worse than people who are drunk. The com­bination of alcohol and lack of sleep can be especially dangerous.
Of course, driving is also hazardous if people fall asleep at the wheel, which happens surprisingly often. One-quarter of the drivers surveyed in New York State reported having fallen asleep at the wheel at some time. Often, people briefly nod off at the wheel without being aware of it. These people just cannot recall what happened over the previous few seconds or longer. In addition, people who lack sleep are more apt to take risks and make poor judg­ments, which can also boost chances of getting in a car crash.
Here are some potentially life-saving tips for avoiding drowsy driving:
Be well rested before hitting the road. After multiple nights in a row of having fewer than seven to eight hours of sleep, the reaction time of the body slows. Restoring that reaction time to normal often takes more than one night of good sleep because a sleep debt accumulates after each night of lost sleep. It may take several nights of sleeping good to repay that sleep debt and ensure that the body is ready for driving on a long road trip.
Avoid driving between midnight and 7 AM. Unless the body is accustomed to being awake then, this period is when people are naturally the most tired.
Do not drive alone. A companion who can keep the driver engaged in conversation might help keep the person awake while driving.
Schedule frequent breaks on long road trips. If the driver is feeling sleepy, pull off the road and take a nap for 15 to 20 minutes.
Do not drink alcohol. Having one beer while being sleep deprived affects the body as much as two or three beers when the body is at its best.
Do not depend on caffeine. Although drinking a cola or a cup of coffee might help keep the body awake for a short time, it will not help overcome excessive sleepiness or relieve a sleep debt.
Opening a window or turning up the radio while driving will not help the driver stay awake while driving. Be aware of these warning signs that a person is too sleepy to drive safely: trouble keeping the eyes focused; continual yawning; and being unable to recall driving the last few miles. Remember, if the body is short on sleep, stay out of the driver's seat!
