Of course, this one is a big ol' MYTH.
Researchers at Brown University confirmed that "there are no reliable or practical biochemical or behavioral methods used in real-time with drivers on the road to determine cannabis-induced impairment.” These findings correspond to federal studies by the American Automobile Association (AAA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Now, we are NOT saying you should take a dose of medical cannabis and get behind the wheel—as we've mentioned before, there is a "set and setting" for responsible cannabis use, and operating a vehicle after dosing is irresponsible in the extreme.
But it is a relief to know that cannabinoids (which can remain detectable days or even weeks after consumption) are not a reliable indicator of your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. But again, never forget "set and setting"—only use cannabis when you can do so safely and without disturbing or harming others.
