You could start with Canadian Senate Special Committee on Illegal Drugs from 2002. There's a chapter on driving high on marijuana. The transportation safety boards of the UK, US and Australia also have studies which show the same thing, the US study dating back to 1992 (naturally, it was suppressed for almost 8 years.) as well as various other independent trials and surveys

You are the one that brought up "body of evidence" it is up to you to prove your statement....not me trying to find what they hell you are talking about.
You will find evidence either way....and any common sense will tell you that if you are under the influence of most any drug...you will be impaired. Each drug impaired people at a different rate.
"While the effects of low doses of marijuana and alcohol were minimal, moderate doses of marijuana and alcohol combined were found to impair driving performance in city traffic situations. "

"In statistical terms, both THC doses alone, and alcohol alone, significantly impaired the subjects' Road Tracking and Car Following performances"
"The magnitudes of impairment observed after these doses of THC alone were not especially large in historical comparison to those of other drugs and alcohol present in BACs above 0.08 g/dl. However, they do imply a loss of driving ability that could be serious in exceptional traffic situations"
"Both THC doses increased headway variability, and the highest, lateral position variability during car following. Both caused the subjects to ignore navigational information. The high dose caused the subjects to hit roadway obstacles more often and to react more slowly in the subsidiary task than the placebo."
