Genuinely curious - could heavy marijuana use cause confusion between landing gear and fuel cutoff? Or some other drugs? (Wondering if they screen pilots for alcohol before they board an aircraft.)

They don't screen every time but there are spot checks. A pilot with heavy use will certainly get caught

The prelim report states these pilots were indeed breathalyzed before takeoff.
