The most comprehensive study to date has now been released.

Read this link Washington Post

And the conclusion by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as detailed in the study:



The key point worth emphasizing is that the blood test is meaningless as it does not indicate to what degree if any the driver was impaired. It is absolutely certain that someone actively stoned is not a safe driver but some other mechanism of determining impairment needs to be used.
It's probabley more of an offence to have it on your person than ingested .
