Driving High is Risky

​​

• Marijuana changes your coordination and perception. A driver who is high has a harder time staying in the right lane.
• Marijuana slows your reaction time to road hazards like the sudden s​topping of cars ahead, or another driver changing lanes.
• Marijuana can cause hallucinations. A driver who is high might swerve to avoid something that is not even there and cause a crash.
• You could be charged with impaired driving if you have been using marijuana. Specific evidence of direct possession or consumption of the actual drug is not required for a police officer to charge you.
