TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Driving impairment following vaporization of cannabis JO - JAMA journal of the American Medical Association A1 - Downey, Luke A. A1 - Hayley, Amie C. SP - e1225 EP - e1225 VL - 325 IS - 12 N2 - To the Editor We read with interest the recent findings reported by Dr Arkell and colleagues1 concerning the effect of vaporized Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)-dominant and THC/cannabidiol (CBD)-equivalent cannabis on on-road driving performance. Impairment noted in both the THC-dominant cannabis and THC/CBD-equivalent cannabis was within the expected range, evident up to 4 hours after the dose and accompanied by a reduction in confidence to drive in both THC groups. Arkell et al2 recently reported that more than one-third of Australian patients who use analogous medicinal cannabis products admit to having driven a vehicle within 3 hours of consuming cannabis while citing a low perception of risk.
