It’s been proven that it slows reaction time and impairs judgement so how does that mean people drive fine? To be fair, road safety is something I take more seriously than most. You can very easily kill people with a car. Any distraction or intoxicant increases that risk.

I'm pro legalizing weed but I agree that people should take driving stoned just as seriously as driving drunk.

Driving tired is another one we kind of just ignore, too.

I assume you're also against alcohol for this reason?

Alcohol is much more easily enforceable (can tell how much alcohol is in someone’s system) and there is a stigma against driving under the influence of alcohol. Meanwhile, there is a cultural norm of driving under the influence of marijuana.
