If you're trying to argue that smoking weed doesn't affect your response time then you are full of shit. I agree with your above statement, but if I had a choice I would probably just drive myself rather than let someone drive who is under the influence of anything.

Honestly, I have never seen any evidence of that, but I wouldn't doubt it. However, if you consider that people who smoke weed generally drive slower and more defensively than your average pissed off commuter-in-a-hurry, then a very good argument could be made that less reaction time is needed.
That being said, no, that's not what I was arguing. My argument was purely anecdotal, and based on personal experience. I've been fucking SCARED in a car with someone who I didn't even really think was drunk, and not even felt a little freaked when in a car with someone who was high as shit on pot. Apples and oranges. Reaction time isn't the end-all be-all of safe driving, bub.
