Pot causes changes to perception but experienced users can effectively understand and compensate for those changes. The research in general shows that there is no clear determination for the number of accidents that are caused by marijuana because there is no clear way to determine when someone is stoned. Experienced users can take quite large doses and still function normally on controlled tests. The only reliable way to tell if an experienced user is stoned is to ask them.

I would believe that there are far more alcohol-related car accidents than marijuana-related incidents of the same nature, as the number of people who consume alcohol is far greater than the number of marijuana users.
