When steps were taken to legalize cannabis in Canada, one of the most persistent concerns raised by critics was the potential increase in drug-impaired driving incidents. However, the risk never seemed to manifest.

So does legalization actually cause an increase in the number of drug-impaired driving incidents?
Recent research suggests it does not, and it sheds light on the complexities of the issue and reveals a more nuanced reality.

(2024) concluded that CBD use alone is unlikely to significantly impair a person in their normal activities. This finding is crucial for those who rely on CBD for medical reasons but are concerned about its potential impact on driving.
However, another study by Manning et al. (2024) raised questions about the effects of a medicinal cannabis with dominant CBD on driving-related cognitive functions.
