It's also smarter than inserting your hand in a woodchipper, but that doesn't make it anything other than incredibly stupid.

idk man, I feel pretty damn safe when I drive the 3 blocks from my friends to my house high
Some people can drive reasonably well while high - I'm not one of them. I've probably run 4 red lights in my life - 3 of them were while high. I've driven high maybe 15 times in my life. I just space out for 30 seconds at a time.
Some people can also sight-read complicated piano tracks.
Embedding yourself in a metal projectile that is sharing space with other similar metal projectiles of varying speeds and direction is not a good time to be taking any substances that affect your concentration, legal or otherwise. Sure, you might get away with it 99 times out of 100, but consider the consequences of that other time.
The French agree with you, but their study is based upon fatal crash statistics, and they have no controls set up for their data, so I disregard their assertions as garbage.
Hartford Hospital in Connecticut and the University of Iowa however, have done a study on live subjects, with controls, and they have found that even at elevated doses that demonstrate higher crash risks, marijuana users are still at a risk level lower than those associated with legal concentrations of alcohol.
There is also data that indicates marijuana smokers drive slower under the influence, and that motor skills are not affected by an appreciable amount at small to moderate doses.
I get what you're saying, but it's a matter of degree, not principle.
I'm pretty sure I am incapable of driving the speed limit high. Honestly, this is too beautiful for words

I drive exactly the same stoned as I do sober. I speed a little, but I'm just more cautious about every little thing I see. I smoke every night and drive ~10 miles home stoned every night. I also live out in the middle of the woods.
Holy fucking shit. That strip is perfection. Yes x10000.
As for your[aurik's] comparison to some people sight reading complicated piano *sheet music. I can sight read piano music, and I drive fine while I'm high. Actually, I drive more cautiously while high. Mainly out of paranoia because I live in a no tolerance state (fuck you Indiana...)
