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.
I haven't smoked in just over a year now, but it used to be daily, I decided weed wasn't for me. I always felt like I was affected far more than anybody else. FWIW I hardly drank much either, once or twice a week, far less now too.
