One joint vs one beer is an interesting comparison, but I think we're also so normalized to the idea of having a drink or two and still being okay to drive. Look how many bars have parking lots!

Decades of "Reefer Madness" propaganda means if you're smoking the devil's lettuce you're gonna suddenly crash your car into a crowd full of orphans and kittens.

The long term solution is to improve public transportation, bike infrastructure, and pedestrian friendliness so that people can get stoned or drunk or just be our usual dumb jaywalking selves without putting anyone else in danger.

You can get a DUI for operating a bicycle under the influence can’t you?

No worries, and it's always best to refrain from drinking or smoking and driving!
