Getting home safely on St. Patrick’s Day isn’t

Getting home safely on St. Patrick’s Day isn’t luck. All you have to do is make a plan *before* you head out. If you’ll be drinking or using marijuana this St. Patrick’s Day, don’t leave home without a plan to get home safely. Pick a DD, get an Uber, take the bus…just don’t get behind the wheel if you’re intoxicated.

Marijuana can really mess with your sense of time.

Marijuana can really mess with your sense of time. You’re sitting there and all of a sudden you have no idea how you got there. Which is why driving after using marijuana just doesn’t make any sense. Especially when it’s so easy to just order an Uber or hop on a bus.

Sampled by everyone from Jay-Z to Lil Wayne and inspiring future stars like Beyoncé, Madonna, and Sade, Nina Simone is one of the most influential Black musicians in history. Warm and soulful, yet intense and raw, Nina Simone’s voice is a miracle, as you can hear on songs like I Put a Spell on You and Mississippi Goddam.

Friends don’t lie. Especially about how they’re getting home at the end of the night. Before drinking alcohol or using marijuana, make sure everyone in your group has a plan to get home safely, whether it’s splitting on Uber or hopping on public transit.

Gone far too soon, Jimi Hendrix became one of the best guitarists of all time in a career that lasted just five years. His live rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock ’69 is legendary, but he was also a pioneer in the studio, creating techniques that would define psychedelic rock and chart a new course for the blues.

Leslie is right. Galentine’s Day is the best day of the year. If you’re going out to celebrate, be sure everyone has a plan to get home safely. And if someone is volunteering to be DD, buy dinner for her! She deserves it!

Are we going out tonight? That’s an easy decisio

Are we going out tonight? That’s an easy decision. Here’s another: deciding how to get home safely before heading out. Uber, Lyft, designated driver, bus, campus shuttle…it’s easy to find a way.

At tea time, everybody agrees that the problem is…drunk drivers. There’s no bigger anti-hero than someone who gets behind the wheel after drinking alcohol or smoking weed. Make a plan to get home safely before going out, and you won’t be the problem during your midnights.

Myth: There’s no association between marijuana use and an increased risk of car crashes.

Fact: Research has found that being under the influence of marijuana may double your risk of getting into a car accident. And here’s another sobering statistic: cannabis-involved car crashes are more likely to involve the deaths of passengers. Making a plan to get home safely not only protects you…it protects your friends too.

Santa gets all the credit this time of year, but we think the Designated Driver deserves some love too. A friend who’s going to make sure you get home safely AND save you the cost of a rideshare? That’s a hero in our eyes. So let’s celebrate the designated drivers this season, like a gift card to their favorite pizza joint or picking up their meal next time you’re out.

Marijuana can slow reaction time, impair judgment of time and distance, and decrease coordination, which makes crashes more likely to occur. And while misjudging the distance to the top of a Christmas tree is hilarious, misjudging the road while driving can be deadly.
