As far as statistics go, as I pointed out earlier, many more pot smokers are going to slip through the cracks than alcohol users.
You guys can say what you want. I'm not about to defend someone who is smoking pot behind the wheel. I think that is stupid. But I think it is more stupid to drink and drive.
Archangel I agree with you that there are too many of both on the road and that defensive driving is a must. However it's not accurate to say that they are equally as dangerous. I know a lot of people that smoke pot and a lot of people that drink. Luckily most of them aren't dumb enough to take the wheel while doing so. But I can't even count on both hands the amount of people I know personally who died as a result of alcohol related accidents.
