Cannabis and Cars-Addressing the Challenges of the Marijuana Impaired Driver
SESSION INFO
Tuesday, August 30, 2022
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM
Session Type: Workshop
As of Fall, 2021, 18 states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana while an additional 21 states allow for the use of medical marijuana. The prevalence of “legal weed” in our communities has created challenges on our roadways as incidents of marijuana impaired driving continue to increase across the country and new users are exposed to the drug. This interactive presentation will provide the audience up to date information on the scope of our marijuana impaired driving problem, issues surrounding polysubstance use, and the use of assessment tools to determine risk and practical evidence-based sentencing, supervision, and monitoring strategies to address these behaviors.
