Somewhat related, but a recent Senate hearing cited the lack of a national standard regarding cannabis impaired driving. They voted to investigate further. Results may be counter-intuitive ;)
Interesting there is so little research into the actual *effects* on humans. You get better data from Leafly reviews!
- gumby 5y agoBecause the DEA and the "War" on Drugs opposed any research. Just as congress prohibited the government from maintaining statistics on gun violence almost 20 years ago. If you don't like what might be learned, don't let anyone look. (I don't like smoking pot, or really any mind altering substances, but other peoples' use is none of my business and I think it is worth a study).

I imagine that this will always be true, because what you want to know about the effects is inherently qualitative and subjective, and that kind of research gets relatively little attention and funding.
- mabbo 5y agoMany years ago, before we legalized it generally, an acquaintance of my father fought a fun court case related to this. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/pot-smoking-motorist-not-guilty-of-impaired-driving-1.404980 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/pot-smoking-motorist-not-guil... From everything I've read about him, the guy was a hell of a character and maybe some of his misfortune was self-inflicted, but he did fight some important court cases around marijuana laws.
