Maybe not, but it does make you misspell simple words like "impair".

"Pot does not impare your driving... "

- The following list of side effects from smoking pot was copied from an information web site after doing a quick search on Google using "Cannibis, effects" as the search parameters. Note particularly effect #10.
It's ironic that western societies, which have spent billions trying to control the damage caused by drinking alcohol would be so eager to embrace another chemical habit.


Cannabis - RISKS:
1 When stoned, the user’s eyes become red and the heart beats faster.
2 It can make users paranoid and anxious, depending on their mood and situation.
3 Mixing cannabis with tobacco and smoking it damages the airways and lungs and can lead to users getting hooked on tobacco.
4 Inhaling deeply and holding the smoke in, or sucking on a bong or water pipe, increases the amount of tar and other dangerous chemicals which stick to lung tissue.
5 Smoking cannabis over a long period of time can increase the risk of respiratory disorders, including lung cancer.
6 Plastic bottles, rubber hoses, PVC, aluminum drinks cans or tinfoil, should not be used to smoke cannabis. These all give off toxic fumes when hot.
7 Some infections, such as hepatitis, can be passed on if several people are sharing the same joint.
8 Cannabis affects the short-term memory and ability to concentrate and make judgments.
9 The user may also be affected by cannabis the next day, and it may be more difficult to perform important tasks that require a clear head or sharp reactions.
10 Getting stoned affects coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. It impairs driving skills, so never get into a car driven by someone who is stoned.
11 If cannabis is used with alcohol the risk of becoming ill is increased.
12 Users should not use cannabis around others who may be affected by the smoke, particularly children. Low levels of cannabis have been found in the urine of young children.

Good thing you qualified that with "MOST"!

And I still doubt you are correct.

Some yes, probably too many for comfort, but I really doubt "most".
