It depends. One of my Fortnite buddies says he sometimes hits a bit of the reefer action before he gets on. He said the results are varied when I asked him about this ("wouldn't that fuck with your reaction time, tho?" Yes, I literally asked him that. 
), he said sometimes it impairs his reaction time, but others, it makes him feel "in the zone" and he balls when we're playing in parties together.
I'm also friends with someone who smokes cigarettes and have played in several Trio/Squad matches with her (granted, I literally friended her just a few days ago and have considerably less playing time with her, but the point remains). Guess which one coughs and hacks like crazy and sounds like they (occasionally) have trouble breathing on the mic?

This professor (who I remind you is a renowned multi-award-winning intellectual) gives a little insight as to why:
It might also be that making the far safer drug illegal makes them too much money (cops have literally gone on record saying this) and/or Big Tobacco has such a strong stranglehold on the federal government with all the money they're raking in that they're "weeding out" legalized marijuana (no pun intended), which is why they continue to list it as a Schedule 1 drug with no medical use whatsoever (less than cocaine and meth even, which is, of course, a load of bullshit if I've ever seen one) despite all evidence of its medicinal breakthroughs. That's another speculation.
Recently, the HHS recommended it be relisted as a Schedule III drug, but I have a sick feeling the DEA won't comply and continue to stick their fingers in their ears at any and all pro-cannabis findings. They've ignored all evidence of it being a medicinal drug that's not addictive up to this point (which is why weed is listed as a Schedule I drug and Cocaine a Schedule II on the DEA Controlled Substances list, which is baffling in and of itself), why stop now? That's also speculative.
But he's not wrong when he says tobacco is much deadlier than reefer and they're not even comparable as far as which one takes the bigger toll on your body (lungs?). That's not speculative at all. Tobacco actually kills people, weed has never killed anyone. In fact, research says it's almost impossible to OD on it.
