It can take over 5 hours after smoking marijuana to be safe to drive, a new study says

Just days before Canada became the second country in the world to legalize recreational marijuana, a new study found that the drug can impair drivers for up to five hours after their last hit.

The study, which comes from researchers at McGill University in Montreal, found that drivers who smoked cannabis were able to complete simple tasks like braking and maintaining a steady speed on the road.

But when it came to more complex driving maneuvers, the study said, those high on weed were “significantly” more at risk for a crash.

“I think the five hours maybe came as a surprise. We thought maybe the effects would not be as strong. But they were very significant.”

IMO, the 2 Hour window will be heavily debated before a scientific consensus will be reached. Currently, the argument is shaping up to be Zero Tolerance vs 2 Hour window vs 5-6 Hours for marijuana impairment. Throw Edibles into the mix and who knows?
