Last time this conversation propped up, I decided to do some research (aka reading actual papers and not the 3 line executive conclusion written by DEA or DEA adjacent agencies). If I remember correctly, when controlling for gender and age, driving high had a marginal impact (and in some cases actually decreased incidents of accidents).
The problem is, determining if a driver is “high” is extremely crude. If you used weed at any point in a week, it’s very likely that if you’re tested for weed it’s gonna show positive which inflates all sorts of statistics.
Anyway the funny conclusion was driving while male was significantly more dangerous for the driver and society than driving while high.
