I am from California and i have noticed that marijuana is much more present at the track than it ever has been. i have also even seen cocaine but not nearly as often. Many local pros and pros who have actually made a name for themselves, and many other riders no matter the skill level get stoned in between practice motos and even races. Legally talking can they be arrested for driving under the influence (dui)? I have been worried many times that a guy who is high off his ass is going to make the right decision on the track when i am going by him or he is going by me.

As for your question, you can get a DUI on a lawn mower, however, when you purchase a dirt bike, it says it is for closed course riding. A track is a closed course so I would think no traffic laws should apply.
I was gonna blitz the whoops instead I got high.,,,,,,
hey hey cause I got high cause I got high cause I got high.
Sent you a pm.

I am a big fan of bud, just not before or during the races... But ya, I see/smell more of it being used today than I have since the 70s....
What people need to worry about is all the riders getting strung out on pain killers, if they don't care about that, they definitely wont care about pot.
I guess you'd prefer someone on opiates or other prescription pills which have much more harmful side effects and damaging effects to reaction time, sensitivity, motor and cognitive function.
Have you forgotten about this guy, who wore #338, one of the most talented riders in history? Who was also a champion.
The most dangerous thing you can do is think behind the times. Hold values and views that are no longer applicable or realistic to current standards and understandings. Information is ever evolving, as should be our knowledge and opinions generated from it.
It's 2016.
I've never been a user, but something that has alwsys baffled me is how its ok to be a dtunk but pot use is so horrible.
I'm fine with researching it for medicinal use having said that.
