Key Points

The aim is to investigate how cannabis use frequency affects perceptions of driving safety and related behaviors.
Surveyed individuals on cannabis usage and driving perceptions.
Analyzed driving behavior risk levels associated with different cannabis use frequencies.
Frequent cannabis users tend to underestimate their impairment while driving.
Engagement in riskier driving behaviors increases with higher cannabis use frequency.

Implication

Research reveals frequent cannabis users underestimate impairment and engage in risky driving, suggesting urgent need for broader studies.

Abstract

More frequent cannabis users appear to underestimate impairment and engage in riskier driving behaviors. Research in more representative samples is needed given that this sample was majority female, White, non-Hispanic, and college-attending.
