Description:
The project’s primary objective is to determine the effects of a range of doses of smoked cannabis on simulated driving performance among a sample of volunteers in the 19-25 year old age group. It also aims to determine if sex differences exist in dosing and driving impairment in this group. A broader goal of the study is to inform the development of Canadian policy on cannabis and driving, including future per se levels, and to inform educational material intended for use in public safety discourse.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The project will generate essential data to better understand the relationship between various doses of smoked cannabis and the degree of impairment among a sample of Canadians. This knowledge will help the department to design efficient and effective prevention and enforcement policies, programs and messages to address and deter drug-impaired driving.
