I’m one of those for legalization, even though I’ve not touched it since 1977 and think it is dumb to do so. But I consider it a LOT safer than alcohol. If we were really serious we would make alcohol illegal. But we don’t for obvious reasons.
Fact is, driving under the influence of anything that affects your brain is bad. Dope is just one of those things. And, truth be told, it is nowhere near as bad as alcohol regarding driving. At the end of the day, however, we need to hold responsible the person that actually does it.
For some perspective, there is actually some quite useful information in this finny video.

You are wrong. Pot, especially today, is far more damaging than alcohol. Nevertheless, whether it’s alcohol or other drugs, criminalization of drugs (for adults) creates far more problems than their use. What matters is public intoxication (of any kind) and receipt of transfer payments of any kind by people using drugs. The “War on Drugs” needs to end, and resources need to be put into dealing severely with anyone who drives under the influence or who is intoxicated (by anything) in public. BTW, I’ve never used any illegal drug, and I do not drink alcohol and never have.
