I highly doubt you getting a whiff of 2nd hand marijuana smoke walking down the street would get you so high that you would proceed to drive dangerously, regardless of your experience with the drug, but I guess thats just my opinion.
That is what you said. That was the question I was responding to.

Obviously their is a difference in our lexicon, someone who has had a whiff of pot smoke may not drive dangerous per se, but his/her reaction time may be affected in an emergency situation.

When I think of someone driving dangerously, they swrive all over the road, etc.

With a small amount of exposure to the smoke, could it affect someone's driving to the point where they could be more of a hazard on the road than they would be 100% sober. The answer to that is unequivocally yes.
