I am really excited for this. Once going home with my family via Uber in SFO we realized on the freeway that our driver was high and driving at 80-85 mph.

It was a really scary experience and I couldn’t do much about it in the moment.

Does it matter? Can't think of a single substance that's safe for driving a car.
