Don?t Drive High: Recognizing Cannabis as the Next Frontier for Impaired Driving Prevention

Marijuana in car [ [link removed] ]

Among college students who drink alcohol and who drove in the past 30 days, 13.5% reported driving within six hours of drinking.

But among students who use cannabis and who drove in the past 30 days, *nearly one-third reported driving within six hours of cannabis use*.

In this month's?View from the Field, James Wilkinson sounds the alarm on this statistic.?He also initiates a call to action that we must bring driving under the influence of cannabis to the center of prevention discussions and efforts.

"Because cannabis use and driving has not received the same level of attention as drunk driving, and because states are relaxing marijuana and cannabis laws, many students mistakenly believe it is safer.?*It is not.*"
