You can rationalize it all you want, it is still a dumbass move.

OP
OP
I don't drink and drive. I hadn't drunk in 2 hours by the time I drove. I obviously won't drive on an edible again. That was reckless and stupid, I agree.
I didn't assume it would take an hour for it to kick in. And again, I didn't even eat half of one.
I wouldn't endorse it and never have and agree with you, I'm just saying driving a short distance right after an edible is a huge difference than driving drunk or driving after smoking.
You drank, took an edible and then drove. Great stuff man, you got knocked on your ass and didn't have the faculties (read: decency or common sense) to order an Uber. Glad you weren't roofied but Jesus fucking Christ, you could have gotten yourself or someone else killed. Be better.
So uh..you've been high as fuck on edibles, most likely. Especially if you never had them before. They take quite some time to kick in, especially if you already had something to eat before that. Also varies on your weight and other things.
Don't ever drive again when taking edibles. That's just irresponsible as fuck.

Fuck you for driving high, OP. You're a piece of shit.
Let me get this straight. Depending on what you drink, 2 hours isn't even close to enough time to be able to drive again. What kind of fucked up logic is this. "Oh yeah I drank 4 shots but it was 2 hours ago so now I'm fine". Like..what.
It also doesn't matter how much of an edible you eat when you don't even know how much is in each brownie.
Edibles are a whole different game than smoking for sure. I learned that first hand myself. Glad to hear you're okay though.
They could definitely get a free ride in the back of a police car for driving under the influence.
When you eat marijuana, it takes longer to affect you than it would if you smoked it and often can make you very tired. Thank you for updating this, as I was quite worried for you when you started this thread last night.
you ate two pieces of edibles? should have ate one and waited like an hour lmao
you played yourself-- congrats.

No it's not safe.
You pointed it out yourself - You pull over after the high hits. That means you were driving under the influence.
No, OP had drinks 2 hours prior and edibles half an hour before. Definitely not sober.
Had some drinks, took an edible after having drinks and what sounds like the first time and drove home. Yea real good decisions there...
Nothing wrong with drinking or weed or edibles, but the timeline of events wasn't the best idea. At least you are ok and didn't hurt anyone driving home.

You're right I messed up my wording.
Again like I don't condone it and I've never done it, I was just trying to defend OP but nah they fucked up lol
Of Mike's Hard Lemonade. That's nothing. Far be it from me to minimize the danger involved, but in the moment I don't believe the OP knew it was a bad idea.
Unless OP is a big dude, it would take about 4 hours to metabolize.
My buddy got roofied at a club when I was in college and my drunk buddies and I thought he was dying (he passed out). Called an ambulance and he was fine the next day.
"I haven't been drinking for 2 hours when I drove home" isn't being sober. It's bullshit. Is there some magical universe where you're sober after not drinking for 2 hours? Takes at least 4 to be actually sober again.
well if the timeline is correct, he first drove home and THEN, later freaked out from edibles when they finally kicked in.
and that's when the thread began.
I think we all assumed he was at a bar at the time of thread.
the timeline is this:
ingested drinks, ingested edible, started driving
absolutely irresponsible. OP is trash.
You were fucked up enough to think you were roofied but fine to drive?
Sure Jan.
If OP had 2 Mike's, 2 hours before driving, and they're at least 130 lbs, they'd be under the legal limit and safe to drive. Negligible alcohol content.
I hope the lesson you take away from this is to never, ever drive under the influence again. It doesn't matter how sober you *think* you are if you ingested a mind altering substance minutes before. You're lucky you didn't hurt anyone.
After two hours the two Mike's alone (not counting the edibles) would make this person guilty of drunk driving in Sweden.
this is where i throw my arms up and turn around and let you get it out of your system
according to the internet it should take at least...*checks google* 4 hours.
You ate two edibles, waited half an hour, and then drove home...good god.
And you think you have some sort of medical emergency and you post here, what is wrong with you?

Two drinks, especially something like Mike's isn't even enough to get someone buzzed, let alone alone make them blow over the legal limit.
Still shouldn't consume edibles and drive though.

Always amazed when people just eat an edible sight unseen, not knowing how strong it could be. Especially if they aren't at home.
This is an interesting point, though.
The legal limit in the U.S. is four times higher than in Sweden. So either U.S. legislation is to lax, or Swedish legislation is too strict. Scientifically speaking, they can't both be right. We can statistically determine at which point driving becomes unsafe due to blood alcohol.
The US law is definitely too lax but it seems like the Sweden law is a bit too strict if 2 hours after drinking two Mike's hards for a normal weight person is enough to get a DUI.
Honestly your friends could've done a better job guiding you through an edible trip if it was your first time. Download Uber / DoorDash for food. If I'm gonna be getting high anywhere else but home I plan on staying planted at their house for the good amount of the day until I probably crash on the couch.
