Summary
Cannabis is one of the widely used psychoactive substances in the world. With increasing
legalization, the prevalence of driving under the influence of cannabis will undoubtedly
rise. At present, roadside detection of cannabis intoxication is largely dependent on drug
recognition experts who rely on changes in eye movements when impaired. In this regard, use
of eye trackers can help to detect impairment in drivers. The purpose of the present study is
to determine the feasibility of the use of eye trackers in detecting impairment in
participants who smoked a cannabis cigarette.
