wait how the hell are mods/members of a forum determining a person's BAC?
What a weird fuckin thread.
What a weird fuckin thread.
May Have Been Roofied? Please Help. [UP: Not Roofied; Knowingly Consumed Edibles] (READ STAFF POST)

Regardless of what your own experiences, it's unnecessary. OP knows what he did was wrong. Calling them a piece of shit for it, after they have posted saying they know that what they did was wrong, is pointless. It doesn't achieve anything.
The OP says the worst of the high- the point where he posted this thread- kicked in an hour after he had already driven home.
We are also not stopping anyone from criticizing the OP either (nor is the OP trying to deflect blame and spare his feelings, as he admits he was wrong) as most people have posted admonishment and education through this thread unscathed. You are free to tell OP it was a stupid thing to do.
I recently got fucked up badly because I got arrogant with my usage of edibles as I'd been using them for a while. Didn't factor in the other substances I subsequently imbibed and ended up having a real bad time.
Always have a plan that includes letting your friends know what you're up to (my mistake), and always have a plan to get back home safely.

He was so high he thought he had been roofied but okay.
Weird thread. I mean I'm glad to see overly hostile posts finally getting shut down but come on. Should just close it.

Yes, therefore OP got lucky. What if during the drive that stuff kicked in fully? That's the thing, a person who's on drugs isn't in the best position to determine if they should drive. I know plenty of people that were messed up but saying "Nah, man I'm good."
Agreed completely. The insults were 100% uncalled for. I just pray the mod team keeps this up long term and don't slip back into old habits. It really was getting bad.
My wife has PTSD from the incident, any time we have to hit the brakes I can hear her gasp and her breathing shorten. Needless to say, the lives of anyone who drives under the influence aren't worth a shit to me anymore.
I'm all for mods working to decrease the level of hostility as long as it's applied across the board. The amount of posters I've seen slide for telling others to fuck off or other pithy shit is galling and really points to which way the wind blows.
Hell, not even GAF condoned that level of hostility until it started circling the toilet drain.
It's okay, after a thorough investigation the Mods have concluded that he didn't pose a serious risk.
I agree. I don't agree with the OP's decisions at all, but I think with the way things turned out and his own admittance of fault that the level of hostility that begun to brew is unwarranted. But we wanted to make a distinction between those level of attacks and the ability for members to criticize what was obvious stupidity.
We're trying our best here.
but maybe, just maybe, if you have no hope at all and no one else to call, you can make a thread and take your chances with the misanthropes of the internet instead of just asking a random man with scars on his face and two hooks for hands for help.
BAC is not the only measurement of being impaired.
Being high on edibles while driving IS an undeniable threat to others and WILL get you a DWI or DUI if caught.
Cerium This is a troubling post as it makes it appear that Era condones driving while impaired, so long as alcohol isn't the cause. The board can (and should) moderate unnecessary hostility, but as someone who has lost family to impaired drivers, spreading the sort of information in this staff post from any position of authority is negligent at best.
Who knows what adventures may await if chances are taken with the Hooked Man?
I've had two friends killed by people driving under the influence, sorry if someone gets their feelings hurt while being called out for engaging in selfish/dangerous behavior
Wow lol
How can I apply to be a mod? They seem to let anyone be one these days.
Y'all should not be in the business of making thirdhand declarations of a user's sobriety or threat to drivers. Full stop. Totally inappropriate and as someone who has been affected by behavior like op's I'm shocked and kinda pissed that anyone would think that is okay as an official communication from the staff.
People have drank and drive before and made it home okay. Doesn't make it okay at all.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
The staff just determined driving on edibles that had the OP thinking he had been roofied is ok?
This is absolute garbage post. I've had friends die because of people driving under the influence. Wow.
The OP literally was concerned someone roofied him the drugs affected him so much but you've determined he was legal to drive in the US because the Mike's hard lemonade may have worn off?
Yeah, what do people expect when someone knowingly drives impaired? That others are going to be really chill and go, "You know, that's a bad idea. You shouldn't do that." Impaired driving has affected countless people for decades. People are going to lash out at them.
As long as you are just a little high or buzzed, you are okay to drive per the TOS.
Unreal moderation. Unreal.
He said the worst of it was an hour after he had driven home. Clearly that could have happened WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, as he was under the effects of it and had no idea what would kick in. This thread's mere existence is proof he wasn't in a good state of mind.
I had a friend fucking die to a drunk driver. I'm sure they were a-ok as well!!!!!!!!
Cool!!! Don't want to be too harsh to someone's feelings now
The fact that someone thinks it's alright to have a staff communication on something like this is so fucked up I don't even know what to say. What in the absolute hell.

You can call out OPs behaviour without the entirety of your post being "fuck you OP you piece of shit"
"We believe without any empirical evidence or ability to collect any whatsoever that someone who consumed both alcohol and THC wasn't a danger on the road."
FOH man. OP's behavior is the height of irresponsibility.
