CDC guidance: THC and crash risk

01.10.21

Those who cling to the myth that THC’s role in traffic safety is unclear were buoyed by release in 2017 of guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which stated, “…it is unclear whether marijuana use actually increases the risk of car crashes.”

DUID Victim Voices supplied the following analysis to the CDC in December 2020, requesting that the guidance be corrected.  Thankfully, the CDC subsequently released a correction.  The … READ MORE
