What about the many classes of Rx drugs that are far more impairing than pot?
People drive high on pills all the time. Especially truckers, etc who can fail a drug test, simply show an Rx and be on their way.
They *might* only get caught after an accident if cops decide to draw blood. At least for pot there is smell, bloodshot eyes and a swab test.
IMO, pot is the least of our worries on the road. Alcohol, pills, phones and senile old people are far worse.

When I’m driving to town to pick up my pension checque and Memantine (for my Alzheimer’s), I like to wash down some Vicodin and beenies with Jim Beam. Then I grab my iPhone (carefully, so as not to stir up my rheumatism) and tweet about it. Sometimes, I see a hippy going by toking on pot. That riles me up so much, I take another pull on the Beam, and tweet about that too.
What were we talking about?
Reason doesn't work against emotion.
