AAA Warns Against Cannabis-Impaired Driving

AAA is cautioning against impaired driving during holidays, emphasizing the dangers of driving under the influence of cannabis, which many underestimate due to its perceived health benefits. Recent studies by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety reveal that 84.8% of cannabis users drive on the same day they consume the drug, with 53% doing so within an hour of consumption. Despite legalization in many areas, AAA stresses that cannabis impairs driving ability, a sentiment echoed by spokesperson Montrae Waiters. The growing normalization of cannabis use has led to increased instances of impaired driving, posing significant safety risks. In Pakistan, cannabis and other drugs remain a serious issue, exacerbated by societal stigma and a lack of treatment facilities.
