Question

For those concerned with driving while high is this any different from driving while being intoxicated? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Marijuana	Alcohol
Attentiveness, vigilance, perception of time and speed, and use of acquired knowledge are all affected by marijuana. The tracking, motor coordination, visual functions, and particularly complex tasks that require divided attention are impaired by marijuana.	Alcohol causes high levels of impairment in psychomotor performance and medium-to-high levels of impairment in such tasks as critical flicker fusion and short-term memory. Alcohol impairs pursuit tracking, divided attention, signal detection, hazard perception, reaction time, attention, concentration, and hand-eye coordination. The amount of risk-taking behavior while driving, even at low alcohol doses, and the incidence of road traffic accidents while driving drunk.
Higher is the concentration of marijuana, the greater the driving impairment.	The concentration paid to the main component of a complex skill (steering) and less and less attention paid to secondary tasks (speed, driving skills).
Marijuana and alcohol, when used together, have additive or even multiplicative effects on impairment

In conclusion, the risk from driving under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis is greater than the risk of driving under the influence of either alone, however, the driving after administration of both either single or alone cannot be suggested.
