Conclusion: Chronic marijuana users had slower reaction times, deviated less in speed, and had difficulty matching a lead vehicle’s speed compared to nonusers. The effects on SDS and modulus were present at cutoffs of 2 and 5 ng/mL.
Cannabis smoking increases lane weaving and impaired cognitive function. Critical-tracking tests, reaction times, divided-attention tasks, and lane-position variability all show cannabis-induced impairment. Despite purported tolerance in frequent smokers, complex tasks still show impairment.

Mentioned in the OP but here's the link to the report..An Alan Smithee Nation wrote:Hell yes, it is covered by UK laws. I'm not sure how anyone thinks they are safe to drive after smoking weed, other than being young and stupid.
An interesting finding from this research is that after smoking marijuana, subjects in most of the simulator and instrumented vehicle studies on marijuana and driving typically drive slower, follow other cars at greater distances, and take fewer risks than when sober (Stein, et al., 1983; Smiley, et al., 1981; Smiley, et al., 1986; Casswell, 1977; Robbe and O'Hanlon, 1993). These effects appear to suggest that the drivers are attempting to compensate for the subjective effects of using marijuana. In contrast, subjects dosed with alcohol typically drive faster, follow at closer distances, and take greater risks.
I'm not sure it's too different from 'driving when old'.

I'm old and a old stoner, I disagree.

Yes it is. Over 10,000 cases were sent to court in England and Wales in 2018.
