Even if it didn't affect driving, it's still not a battle that the pro-legalization side should be fighting.

I think we are complacent because we drive so much, but it is actually one of the more dangerous things we do throughout our daily lives. Not just for us, but the people around us. There has to be a high level of caution exercised. Aside from just their own driving, but how would a high person react in an emergency situation? That is a difficult thing for a study to simulate.

I know from my own experience, I wouldn't trust myself driving under the influence and I know people that think they can drive high, but really they suck at it. When people are high, they tend to think everything they are doing is awesome.
