The Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC) officially began their "Drive high, or get a DUI" campaign, reports KXLY.com. The WTSC is beginning its campaign by airing three different television ads that use humor in depicting the dangers of driving under the influence of marijuana.

The gist of the three ads will be that if you are high, you won't necessarily be as good at an activity as you think you are -- and this will be evident to everyone but yourself. For example, you won't be able to play basketball or grill on a barbecue while high as you might dribble forever or forget to use propane in the grill. The audience will then be reminded that you won't be able to drive while high as well.

Beyond funny commercials, Washington State Troopers are also being trained on looking out for the signs of a driver under the influence of marijuana. The timing of the campaign coincides with the start of recreational marijuana sales in Washington. Authorities are preparing for the possible increase in driving while high with the potential increased accessibility to the drug.
