People who get anxious and paranoid are just not going to use the drug again. But it's not like there are mean drunks.

So, for example, we've done experiments where we've challenged people with either alcohol or acutely or cannabis acutely in the lab and have them drive on a driving simulator. People who are mildly drunk with a blood alcohol concentration of about 0.1 will speed up on corners and drive really fast and ignore warnings, whereas people who are intoxicated on cannabis will weave more

be aware that they're intoxicated and drive a bit more slowly. So they're still involved more in crashes, but not nearly as much as alcohol and for very different reasons. Because different drugs have different psychological effects on people, as you intuited.
