Remember, while it's cool to party, it's not cool to drive while you do so. Call a cab, Uber or sober friend or family member if you have been drinking or using drugs including some prescription and over the counter medications. Check with your doctor or pharmacist. And while marijuana may be legal to use, it's not legal to drive while using it.
