Existing laws regarding DUI's and DWI's still apply. If you do it, you'll get punished. I don't know if casual MJ use makes someone a "pothead" any more than a social drinker is an "alcoholic". And personally, I've only once driven stoned... and that was over 15 years ago... and was unavoidable at the time.
Pot is also not alcohol. You could compare ten people who are stoned with ten drunk people... putting them through a driver's test on a closed course. The drunks won't be able to do it. The stoners will.
And if you compared the stoners with average sober drivers, I suspect reaction time (and overall control of the faculties) would still be within the norm.
Marijuana is different than alcohol. It affects the body in different ways. For people familiar with its affects, pot generally does not cause the kind of physical impairment as alcohol.
But as I said, standards exist for prosecuting DUI's/DWI's. So it's a non-issue... except for pot-shamers looking to stand up on their soap box and preach about thing they know absolutely nothing about. But how would this be any different from any other subject that gets discussed on these forums?
Also, calling everyone who smokes weed a "substance abuser"? Well onodera, go learn what the word "abuse" means... before promptly going to fuck yourself.
Dumbasses will always be dumbasses. Sadly, we can't change that.

the official name is "Katedrala Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije i svetih Stjepana i Ladislava"... those last two are Hungarians no less, had to be rebuilt after an earthquake so is in current shape since 1906.
