"Marijuana does cause motor impairment but it also makes people very cautious. A marijuana smoker is much less likely to drive than someone under the influence of alcohol or a cell phone."

I strongly disagree. Pot does not increase your common sense. It does decrease your peripheral vision. It does decrease reaction time. It will not help you to keep your mind on the road if you are not so inclined.

I believe my life was once saved because the driver was the only one in the van who was not high. His action required good side vision and fast reaction to an event.I will never forget that fact.
