Thats a pretty lame reason by itself, and i dont think theres any truth to that myth besides it being a funny skit on cheech n chong.

EFFECTS OF THC ON DRIVING PERFORMANCE
City Driving Study
The city driving study measured the subjects' ability to operate a vehicle in urban traffic. for reasons mentioned in the respective chapter the THC dose in that study was restricted to 100 ug/kg. For comparative purposes another group of subjects was treated with a modest dose of alcohol, producing a mean BAC of about 0.04g%. Results of the study showed that the modest dose of alcohol, but not THC, produced a significant impairment in driving performance, relative to placebo. Alcohol impaired driving performance but subjects did not perceive it.
THC did not impair driving performance yet the subjects thought it had.
