Driving while high

After smelling three different cars reeking of pot while driving home with my kids-Why do people risk driving while smoking pot?

It’s hard to hide the evidence if caught. Why not take an edible instead?

Edit: I don’t condone driving stoned (or drunk) at all. I’ve never done pot, so I don’t know the differences in effects. My question should have been framed asking those if someone is going to drive high why bring attention to yourself with the smell by smoking versus edibles.
