On my commute to work I regularly pass a teenage lad riding a bmx having a last joint before going to work.

Its about time more employers did on site drug testing.
It must be the same lad i see ,next to the Witham by Lincs FM.[see my previous]

I did try a puff once, at Uni. It gave me a headache and then I threw up. I don't smoke, so maybe that was why. It wasn't an experiment that I had a mind to repeat.
I don't smoke, either, so at Uni I tried dissolving some in Ribena. Worked as well as you might think...

all of the main contractors group members do. if you fail you are removed from site and not allowed back - sadly some people think that sharing the removal from site for safety violations is a breach of human rights so we cant share details with other MCG members. I wouldnt want to work with somebody who doesnt give a toss about my safety and welfare.

Network rail and Crosrrail do testing at induction and if you fail on any then thats it - no Start . Zero tolerance on drugs and 13mg for alcohol.

watch out for the poppy seeds though ! http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp

Not that we should turn this into a 'how to take drugs' thread, but THC is fat soluble rather than water soluble. You need to cook up the bud in something with fat in it (e.g. butter) and then use that. Putting it in a drink won't work, as you found out, which is a shame really as who wouldn't want cannabis teabags?!

I can smell skunk when a car passes me, same as when the driver is smoking or wearing a strong perfume. I work for a perfume manufacturer so have a good nose. It's amazing how often you smell it coming from cars, especially on warm summer evenings.

Last week I passed a chavvy car stopped in the middle of the country and I'm pretty sure the driver was snorting coke; his female passenger looked to have just taken a snort because she was behaving very wierdly and messing with her nostrils. It worries me that people are driving around stoned; does anybody know if it affects your judgement as badly as alcohol does?

I have slowed down and let them pass me again in traffic and then tried to keep in the smoke trail! Really seriously I have. I love the smell of it. Of course even the passenger smoking it is a risk to everyone's safety.

Back in the day I puffed one as passenger and boy that five minute journey seemed like 30 minutes I remember turning to someone and asking them had we missed a green light or two on the traffic lights as it seemed like we had been there for ages.

If I am late in the evening I cycle past two ladies and crikey they must have doused themselves in what smells like Fabreeze, I hate the stuff anyway but who douses themselves in it?!

I think it must be some sort of powder, it seems we have a couple of old ladies at work that do that as well, can tell when they've been in a room because of the Febreeze smell. But that may be covering up something else.

Fabric conditioners contain perfumes that are full of sticky molecules that linger on cloth, especially on synthetic textiles, which have the ability to hold odours. Some value-added brands like Comfort and Lenor even contain liquid perfume and micro-encapsulated perfume where the perfume oil is spray-dried in resin beads, which break when you agitate the cloth releasing fresh perfume over time. It really is eau de toilette for the clothes and in marketing terms the fabric conditioner perfumes are usually influenced a fair bit by eau de toilette trends and even use some of the same raw materials.

On a cool damp evening your nose will be at its most sensitive and in clean fresh air, strong synthetic molecules will impact your sense of smell like a hammer.

probably out cycling
I don't smoke anymore and it was over 20 years ago now, but I had a spliff before taking my driving test to relax me a bit and passed, so they obviously did'nt detect any eratic driving from me.

Also many years ago when I was foolish and reckless I drove back from a party once on LSD at 4am, down deserted country lanes in Wales in a snow blizzard, despite having seemingly heightened senses and awareness that was much harder! It was a 10 mile journey that seemed like the Millenium Falcon in hyperspace. It was'nt big or clever and I'm not proud of it, but just goes to show what goes on out on the roads. I doubt the Police would even consider anyone stupid enough to do this, and if there is a test for it, other than looking out for the eyes being out on stalks and the driver being transfixed by the lovely flashing blue lights.
