In my view, the war-on-drugs has influenced the way that the risks of THC-positive driving have been researched and reported. With the help of my colleague Prof Nick Burns, I have reviewed the epidemiological and psychological literatures on the risks of THC-positive driving. We conclude that the risks are lower than most people would assume.
