Drink driving isn't legal, LOL, the fact that alcohol is legal doesn't mean that drinking while driving is legal. The fact that people drink and drive shows that there is a general disregard for the law anyway, so no matter what happens people will always take drugs and do dangerous, stupid things.
I know that sounds defeatist, but it's true. There's not much point legalising drugs that render you unable to operate a car or other such stuff, because it'll only make it that bit easier for people to drive while under the influence of that particular drug.
Cannabis however, has in most tests been show to either make no difference at all, or to make drivers more cautious. There has not yet been one single car accident where cannabis has been found to be the sole cause - in every single case of a car crash where cannabis was found in the blood of those involved, alcohol was also present, usually in much higher quantity.
