Another interesting read:

Background on: Marijuana and impaired driving.

Marijuana impairment increases the risk of accidents. Nonetheless, the evidence suggests that acute impairment increases the risk of traffic accidents – though the magnitude of the increased risk is still a matter of study and can vary widely, depending on the study.

One literature review found evidence that 20 to 30 percent of crashes involving marijuana occurred because of the marijuana use. (This9 compares to roughly 85 percent of crashes involving alcohol that occurred because of alcohol use.) The review estimated that the crash risk increased 22 percent while under the influence of marijuana, controlling for concurrent alcohol use.

Another review found that someone driving under the influence of marijuana is 1.65 times more likely to be culpable in a fatal accident.

Claims that driving stoned as a non-issue is both absurd and misleading.
