While the cannabis market demonstrates significant economic promise and potential for growth, concerns persist regarding its broader societal impacts, particularly in relation to public safety and health. One of the primary concerns is the correlation between cannabis use and impaired driving. Studies have shown that cannabis can significantly impair motor coordination, reaction times, and decision making, which are critical skills for safe driving. With the increase in cannabis accessibility and consumption following legalization, there is an urgent need for effective measures to mitigate these risks. This includes developing reliable roadside testing for cannabis impairment, public education campaigns to raise awareness about the dangers of driving under the influence, and clear legal frameworks to handle such offenses effectively.
