I believe the problem he's referring to is not simply making it a crime to smoke and drive, but rather the difficulty in determining if someone is actually stoned since there is not currently a BAC test equivalent.

If there's no way to determine if someone is driving stoned, then what's the point of prohibiting it?

Further, reckless driving is illegal, even if someone has no intoxicants in their system.
