Summary
This research responds to NHTSA's request with a proposal to increase our understanding of
smoked cannabis' (CNB's) acute effects on driving-relevant cognition and simulated driving
performance, the persistence of these deficits over the hours after use, and the influence of
prior experience with CNB on these effects. This extension study will aim to further
investigate marijuana impaired behavior, using a similar design to our previous NHTSA Examine
the Feasibility of a Standardized Field Test for Marijuana Impairment and the prior NIDA
Neuroscience of Marijuana-Impaired Driving award, that used similar techniques and measures
to quantify marijuana impaired automobile driving. We will be utilizing tasks and assessments
that were shown to be strong indicators for cognitive and driving impairment in our NHTSA
study.
