New research confirms medicinal cannabis product CBD does not impair people’s ability to drive even at high doses.
New research has confirmed taking even very high levels of cannabidiol , a medicinal product derived from cannabis, has no impact on people’s ability to drive.
“We assessed a few different aspects of cognitive function, and when people reported subjectively how they felt, they didn’t report any signs or symptoms of intoxication,” she said. Participants undertook simulated driving exercises between 45-75 minutes after taking their assigned treatment, and then again at between 3.5 and four hours after.
Police also conduct roadside drug tests which include tests for cannabis, although those tests specifically test for THC rather than CBD.
