Ah, thanks Cathy, I stand corrected.

I mean, even aside from my own opinions about it, it's at least safe to say that there is a debate about whether being stoned impairs your driving, and so why risk it? If there's even the tiniest chance that you might be wrong, then you are risking people's lives, which is really not "worth it." If it turns out that somehow the debate is settled and I'm certainly wrong, then it shouldn't have been any skin off of your back to not drive stoned, because really, how often are you in a situation where you just can't possibly get around driving stoned anyway?

Eh. I'm pretty certain you're not going to be convinced until you've actually tried to do something stoned. Because seriously, it doesn't affect your mobility at all. If anything it makes you hypersensitive to tiny motions, and it really does seem to have a time-slowing effect, because damned if it didn't feel like an hour driving the mile and a half home from where we lit up.
Jimmy the Squid:
Whenever I get stoned my extremities feel really heavy and sluggish. My head also suddenly seems to increase in width and weight. Basically what I am saying is that if you got into a car being driven by me while stoned you would probably die. This is helped by the fact that I don't know how to drive but my point remains valid!

One might make the point that a person who is stoned isn't in the best state to make such a judgement.
Also, why is Firefox thinking "judgement" is misspelled?

I'm intrigued by the graph in RedLion's post. Does it mean that a little over 30% of Democrats believe every Wednesday that marijuana is ok?
Maybe I'm not very observant, or maybe the weed that people I know smoke is less strong than in other places, or maybe they just don't smoke very much, but the few people who I know get stoned regularly never seem very different when they've had a joint. Their eyes are a bit more sluggish and they smell of cannabis but I can't see any visible difference in their behaviour. Having said that, I wouldn't get in a car with them (I wouldn't anyway, but that's not the point).
I will probably end up being DD in lots of situations in the future, because I'm one of those dull people who doesn't drink, smoke, take drugs or do anything like that. I do go to parties though. Also I love driving, but it might be a bit less fun when there are several drunk people trying to distract me.
It might not be a good idea to mix other drugs into this conversation but in terms of behaviour alteration (rather than health implications or illegality), is cocaine or cannabis worse? I know it's more illegal, but I've always assumed that's to do with the expense and therefore other criminal behaviour caused by it, and the health damage. Wrong?
