In the context of what people have said here they are the same.

Luck has nothing to do with victimless crime. I can safely navigate running red lights and be as safe as smoking weed.

Increases stoners increases amount of stoned drivers on the road. Increasing risk to all drivers.

Smoking anything increases risk of disease. Inhaling any burning substance increases risk both to mental and physical health. Increasing demand on medical systems already stretched thin. Who says a pot head doesn't kick someone out of prompt medical care by taking up a bed or service.

But again increasing risk doesn't create any victims. We've said no victimless crime should exist. Unless they should exist and that risk to public is a viable reason to create a law.
