According to the latest National Roadside Survey from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drug use among nighttime weekend drivers has risen by 25 percent since the previous survey in 2007, and driver use of cannabis has spiked by 46% in that same period of time. NHTSA traffic arrest and fatality data indicate that after alcohol, marijuana is the most frequently detected impairing substance among drivers.

Research shows that marijuana can impair drivers in a variety of ways. It can affect psychomotor functions such as attention, reaction time and coordination, but generally it appears to affect automated or routine driving more than tasks requiring conscious effort. Further, numerous laboratory-based studies have demonstrated that marijuana use impairs many aspects of cognitive and physical function that are necessary for safe driving. Marijuana can decrease car handling, can impair performance and attention while increasing reaction times, following distance and lane deviation. Mixing alcohol and marijuana may produce effects greater than either drug on its own.

Marijuana can affect people differently, making it difficult to develop consistent and fair guidelines like how long someone should wait to drive after using the drug. There is no science to show that drivers reliably become impaired at specific levels of marijuana (i.e., active THC) in the body. Depending on the person, drivers with relatively high levels of marijuana in their system might not be impaired, while others with low levels may be unsafe behind the wheel. It is also important to consider that people who use marijuana cannot accurately determine how much marijuana is in their blood or of their brain (where impairment occurs).

Impaired driving is a criminal behavior regardless of whether a drug is prescribed, obtained over-the counter, bought in a retail setting, or considered an illicit substance. Just because a drug is legal does not mean it is safe to use while operating a motor vehicle. If you get behind the wheel while you’re impaired by any substance, you put yourself, your passengers and others on the road at risk. Simply put, if you consume cannabis, don’t drive. If you plan to drive, don’t consume cannabis.

Cannabis is the second most common drug linked to substance-impaired driving. A large body of research demonstrates that cannabis impairs psychomotor and physiological functions critical to driving. The table below outlines what we know about cannabis in comparison to alcohol.
