Driving Whilst Under the Influence of Cannabis.
I have supplied a few links below of interesting articles, relating to the effects of 'driving' whilst under the influence of Cannabis.
There are 2 articles from 2000 and another 2 from 2005. What is interesting is the tone of the articles go from being quite sympathetic in 2000 and stating that it is safer (maybe much) than being under the influence of alcohol, whilst the 2005 links paint a different picture!
The (2nd) December 2005 article is particular damning. This states that even a low amount of cannabis can make a person on average 89% more likely to have an accident, whilst high levels triple the chances of this!!
It just shows how there is a need for further information and that blase attitudes regarding the drug, can be very dangerous!
This echos the recent information regarding Skunk, i,e, the drug taken as a whole can be a lot more harmful than many are lead to believe!
