Drugs can affect your driving by causing reduced ability to judge distance and speed, distorted perception of time, place and space, reduced coordination and concentration and blurred vision.
Just remember you can be pulled over by Queensland police officers for a random roadside saliva test to detect any presence of illegal drugs.
