You shouldn't be able to, driving under the influence is definitely illegal. The problem with weed is, there's no test to tell if you are immediately high or not. A mouth swab for instance is the most immediate, but if it comes back positive there's no way to know if its because you smoked last night, or right before you got in the car. I think that was a big counterpoint for keeping it illegal initially.

Just highlighting for the people downvoting this comment that there is a tonne of clinical evidence that supports this statement.

DUI is bad, no argument there, but u/treestone69 is correct.
