CAA Atlantic wants the travelling public to be conscious of how cannabis impacts the body and not to drive high.
Gary Howard says with legalization coming this October, they want to make sure everyone knows how cannabis can affect your driving.
He says knowing the facts and gaining an understanding before use can keep everyone safe on and off the roads.
Research conducted by CAA finds a lack of public education around the effects marijuana has on a driver’s ability to safely control their vehicle is a very concerning issue for Canadians.

Thirty-four per cent said a driver under the influence of marijuana is the same or better behind the wheel.
