According to this study, stoned people were not any less accurate at performing tasks than sober people... they just took longer at doing it. Hence the reason you don't drive stoned, you might know which way to swerve to avoid that kid, you'll just do it when he's under that back wheels.
Of course the validity of the study leaves me wondering since the subjects were performing the "Gambling Task". Yep, they played poker just as well as they did before. Somehow I think a more reproducible test is in order, poker introduces enough randomness into the study to make it invalid in my opinion. Since everyone has different strategies, how can you judge if they are still making the "correct" moves.
