"I don't care if people smoke in their homes, but tell me how you are going to stop people from driving stoned and killing me."
In addition to the fact that marijuana doesn't actually significantly increase driving risk, the overall driving fatalities may actually decrease if people switch to smoking instead of drinking or using benzos. Driving fatalities have actually fallen more in medical marijuana states than across the rest of the country:
That being said there is some uncertainty because driving after mixing alcohol with marijuana is significantly more dangerous than driving after consuming either alone, but so far all the data seems to suggest that if anything legalizing marijuana will actually save thousands of lives per year.
Just go with "You'll get an effing DUI if you do" and you'll pay the normal alcohol tax on being an asshole and lose your license and if you hurt someone you'll be in mega bonus lawsuit land. Stop with this BS "MJ is safer than alkehol", who cares, if you're disabled, you're disabled, DONT....DRIVE. Also, drive stoned for me and prove it doesn't do anything. My friends couldn't pull it off with college aged reactions, you must be superman if you can.
