BilgePump Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I dunno about driving but I definitely walk better on autopilot, quite often I'm like "oh I'm at work" having neglected to pay attention to the subsequent 45 minute walk along murderous country lanes.

PHatDriver Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Yo! Nice to hear you here. You've only been growing one year more than me! I have time to catch up tho. Welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHatDriver Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I drive on auto most of the time. Thought everyone does the same, especially on motorways, same old boring journeys and the like. Autopilot to me ain't like zoning out or anything. Driving happens on it's own, like waking, riding a bike etc, just muscle memory and your conscious has time to just wonder off, thinking of other stuff (growing wacky), until you get closer to your destination. Then ya don't remember how you got where you are. Bit of a defence mechanism against boredom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Phatdriver said it is muscle memory. I think it's workable for experienced riders riding for years. Maybe you would like to ride on a empty car park first?

I think it depends. If you take dozzy strain for example blueberry probably you crash while sleeping. But if you do Maui Wowie probably you get high and high score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHatDriver Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) I think a lot of the problem is people who don't partake have a lot of misinformation about people who do and they think we are part of the dark side or something and we should be locked away somewhere. I have an old friend, we used to smoke together through the 80's to about 5 years ago and one day, outta the blue, he lost the plot, went to rehab and they convinced him of some strange shit. Now he believes in god and no one should be doing anything like smoking, drinking and the like. He's now a born again non smoker and a nightmare with it. We are still sort of friends but he's changed something rotten! Not nice to be around and lighting a PHatOne up in front of him just ain't worth the hassle. It's a real crime what they did to him, or should I say - what HE let them convince him of. Fucking shame. He did end up out there though. He's even more out there now! But I think if you are taking some sort of test, or even down to just hanging around with people who don't, ya should be able to use some common sense. Smoke after, not before. If ya can't control yaself like that, I don't think this is for you. Must have some sort of restraint over yaself. I used to smoke at work every day and I'd be recked for 30 mins/an hour then I would do more work in a day than everyone else did in a week! I know hardcore smokers who put me to shame but they will only smoke after 6pm. They never smoke during the day. That works for them. I never asked but just supposed once they start they can't stop but sleep seem to reset them for the next day. We are all different, are we not - rhetorical question. Much Love, Doctor PHat... PHatDriver <- PHD. Ya notice that? Just a happy accident Edited June 4, 2023 by PHatDriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same problem but I understand them. People tend to fear something they don't know. I won't blame them, what we need to do is explaining. Showing them this could be good. Same as nuclear fission, we can make nuclear bomb but could also generate power for us ! The point is how do we use it. Everyone is different. Some are hardcore some are not. Some are smoker some are not. I respect your friends' choice n agree to disagree. Cheers mate 18chill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticriver Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I wasn't saying it to brag or anything - just pointing out that theres no way I could do those things while alcohol intoxicated the Field Sobriety Test is a fairer assessment, of whether someone can drive, but what do I know mystic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
