I can only speak for Italy on this point -they do have laws in place against drink driving -probably still not severe enough but it is illegal to drive in an inebriated state -so YES alcohol is Legal but driving under the influence is not, you have to face the consequences.
Presumaby in a hypothetcal world where Cannabis was also legal it would have to be illegal to drive while under it's effects. The problem in this case is that for regular users it's impossible to tell when they've consumed it as it stays in their body for so long -for them to de-tox can take anywhere up to two months -this with a urine test, for it to be completely expelled they have to then have a further five months without use for it not to be picked up with a test on their hair. Therefore -the answer would be -OK you
can smoke dope but you
can't drive as there's no way of knowing when you used it.
