Summary
Epidemiological studies suggest that the use of cannabis is associated with an increase in
the risk of motor vehicle collisions. It is also known that younger users may be at increased
risk for motor vehicle collisions. Further, the frequency with which cannabis is used may be
an important variable in determining the effects of cannabis on driving. The purpose of the
present study will be to investigate the effects of cannabis on simulated driving in young as
compared to middle-aged drivers. Half of the participants will be occasional users of
cannabis and half will be frequent users of cannabis.
