I can't imagine that any reasonable (there will always be hard core nut jobs) supporters of Marijuana would say that driving while high is a good idea or makes anyone a better driver.

However alcohol impairs reaction times in a way that weed does not especially the drunker one is. So you can be cautious all you want while drunk but you still may not have the actual reaction time to be able to avoid some accidents.
Not saying driving on weed is safe at all. After having done a lot of activities in both states it is obvious that alcohol impairs your reaction time in a much more detrimental way. Biggest eye opener for me was playing foosball a game of almost pure reaction. Fairly drunk players were about 10x worse than normal. No noticeable difference while stoned.
