Cannabis can affect your reaction time, decision-making skills, ability to judge distances, and may increase the chances of causing an accident. Don't get behind the wheel or get in a car with a drug-impaired driver.
Drug-impaired driving is against the law. You could face consequences that may include a fine or criminal charges.
There are many things you can do instead of getting behind the wheel after using cannabis. No matter what you do, don't drive high.
Plan to get home safely, you have options:
Have a designated driver |
Call a friend or loved one |
Arrange a cab or ride-share |
Take public transit |
