It actually aids the process of not thinking hence its danger when used at a time when full concentration is required.
I smoke I drive but never in the same 24 hour period just wish those that over indulge with alcohol at night then jump in cars in the AM would do likewiae.

The potential use of cannabis as medical pain relief is interesting, but what worries me is that the drug as used today is unrefined and contains a lot more than just the useful pain-relieving chemicals. Don't you worry about the increasing evidence that cannabis smoke is even more carcinogenic than tobacco, or that regular cannabis use is increasingly connected with mental illness?
