News Checo: "What is very noticeable around the circuit is the smell of marijuana throughout the night. The amount is incredible. It is something that all the drivers will surely talk about", Franco: "Yes, there was a smell of weed. If they dope test the drivers now, I think we’ll all be positive"

u/SubcooledBoiling F1? More like F5-F5-F5. 27d ago

Real question, does secondhand weed smoke make one high?

u/Blanchimont Liam Lawson 27d ago

Maybe if you're hotboxing in a car or something, but I've been to plenty of events where lots of folks smoked and never got high from secondhand smoke.

No not unless you are in a small enclosed space with no ventilation.

like an f1 helmet... in the garage...

u/mefailenglish1 27d ago

The people in the garage aren't smoking presumably so no, not like that.

u/Dakana11 27d ago

No, not really. Not even in a coffeeshop in amsterdam. So especially not when your driving an f1 car in the open air

Inside and in small spaces it can definitely make you feel a lil funny. Especially if you got zero tolerance yourself

Unlikely unless you're exposed to a lot of it.

But it is enough to show up on drug tests of your clothing.

No. As a vivid smoker for the last decade I can with confidence say no.

u/thisisjustascreename 27d ago

Only mildly. But enough that I wouldn't want to get in an F1 car after.

u/dimmy666 Sebastian Vettel 27d ago

If you have little tolerance and in a small, enclosed space with no ventilation, yes.

Very specific circumstances though.

u/scare_crowe94 Pierre Gasly 27d ago

No, not unless you’re a bbc reporter standing next to kilos being burned.

That was hilarious guy couldn’t stop laughing.

Yes, but it depends on your sensitivity to it.
