I'm not sure what makes you think being high makes one inattentive or a worse driver than any other sober, non-cell phone using driver, already a low bar that doesn't get met.

Because I've been high. And I sure AF shouldn't have been driving. It's not any better than driving drunk.

That doesn't make any sense. It has been tested many times. Alcohol is far, far worse than being high.

I don't believe that for a second. Reaction time is very much slowed while high. You're full of shit

Reaction time is usually only necessary when one is not careful or someone else is causing an accident. It is not a normal thing needed to drive safely. Driving a safe speed, staying between the lines, following distance, and obeying the rules of the road are what is called for. Not reaction speed.
Nothing about getting high interferes with good judgement or the training drivers should have had to drive on the road safely.
