Dude, (figured any philosophical argument should begin with 'dude') part of your argument is that the paranoia makes you more careful?
Two things.
1. Driving in a scared state of mind is dangerous. Doing anything scared is usually a bad idea.
2. Too much caution is bad too. Merging at a busy highway? Too much caution is a bad thing there. Could cause as many accidents as not being careful enough.
Weed slows your reactions down and your thinking. I'll give you that it isn't as dangerous as drinking, but you're a fool if you think any altered state is good for driving. You sound like the drunks from yesteryear who say 'relax, I drive better after a couple'. They used being relaxed and cautious as an excuse to drive better too.
I've got no problem with people taking drugs. Consenting adults should be able to put what they want in their own bodies. But if this is the information out there, shoot, shut it down and send the cops to tail your vehicle 24/7!
Ridiculous.
