Marijuana does cause impairment. People should not drive while stoned. While I do not think people should drive impaired on any substance, I will say that I do think that alcohol can cause more impairment than marijuana. I would be less afraid to drive on a road full of drivers who had been smoking pot than one full of drunk drivers. A low dose of either substance is not likely to cause much impairment. A high dose of either will cause impairment, but overall alcohol seems to be cause the most impairment at higher doses relative to the impairment caused by marijuana at high doses. I am speaking from personal experience, so it does not surprise me at all that most research comparing the effects of both drugs with regard to relative impairment reaches the same conclusions.
