Study: Medical Cannabis Dosing Doesn’t Negatively Impact Driving Performance in Experienced Patients
“Participants exhibited no significant changes in performance” following cannabis dosing.
Topic: Driving
Researchers concluded, “Vaporized CBD seems to be a safe substance for visual function and vision-dependent tasks such as driving.”
“No individual person, family, or institution benefits from racially biased testing or unnecessary CPS investigations,” the study’s authors concluded.
Investigators concluded, “The hypothesis that more liberal marijuana policies will lead to dangerous driving conditions was not corroborated by our analysis.”
Those under the influence of cannabis “spent more time at speeds significantly below the speed limit.”
Consistent with prior studies, investigators concluded, “The correlation between drug concentration was high for ethanol, … but low for THC.”
Investigators concluded, “No changes in standard deviation of lateral position, maximum speed, standard deviation of speed or reaction time were found at any time point.”
Following legalization, fewer young people engaged in DUI alcohol. Among young people who used cannabis, fewer acknowledged driving under its influence.
