In my opinion I don’t think that’s the right solution. I think cannabis is closer to coffee.

Define “a lot of weed”. Because weed hasn’t impaired me since high school, and I’ve met a lot of everyday users who feel the exact same. “Decreased reaction time” is absolutely a popular misconception IMHO, and that’s a symptom of simple tiredness too -I’d argue pot is far from the #1 cause of it. Being a stimulant to some extent. I take mine with a ridiculous caffeine dependency though too so I could be a little biased.

Dude, just stop driving high. We live in a time where you can have everything delivered to your door, including someone showing up at your door to drive you somewhere. People who drive drunk also insist they are badasses that are not impaired.

This. Would I be impaired driving? Likely not. Still won’t do it, because I’m not just risking myself. That would be a risk for everyone.

Decreased reaction time is absolutely not a myth. The level of impairment is related to the amount consumed (just like alcohol), but a decrease in reaction time is a very real effect of cannabis. In case of an emergency on the road that could be a major issue. Please do not drive high.
