There is no credible evidence whatsoever, that intermittent, casual passive smoking can impair a driver’s performance.

 

I don’t smoke myself but have driven many thousands of miles with someone blazing in either the passenger seat or in the back and have never noticed any impairment, even when driving at night after a long day.

Wouldn't recognise it to be fair. What are the concerns ? Does  it cause people to act anti socially ? Genuine question

Not as much as alcohol, but the smell is quite pungent which some don't like.

 

Theres been some attempts to link stronger strains to mental health issues by the media and some politicians, but the science is pretty wishy-washy and it generally ignores the fact that places where it is fully legal aren't total madhouses.

Why not?

You don't call for things to be banned because there's no "not".  You need a very clear and specific reason to make behaviour illegal.

They shouldn't smoke it anywhere that tobacco shouldn't be smoked...  Which is anywhere it might annoy someone else IMO, but legally is inside any publicly accessible building or enclosure.

Edit - there's no evidence that being close to someone smoking will impair driving.

Lol I think you've smoked some drugs if you really believe that

Perhaps he just innocently walked past a stoner and accidentally inhaled a lung full of the good stuff.
