Recently CAA did a study that would show that half a million Canadians which is roughly 1/5 of 18-24-year-olds say they have driven high or with a high driver.

Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan details this latest trend.

"Young Canadians know that when they have been drinking alcohol best not to drive. They have made arrangements to get home safely but when it came time for cannabis edibles they admitted that they were driving high home or driving with someone else who had taken cannabis edibles."

While drivers seem to make other arrangments when drinking alcohol, many do not do the same with cannabis or edibles and Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan provides some insight into why.CAA has created a soft campaign entitled "Do anything but drive" which focuses on edibles and doing anything but driving if you have taken some.

"So the dangers of driving we understand that now because the intake of alcohol is usually quite noticeable. When it comes to smoking cannabis or doing edibles the effects could be delayed. It depends on the amount taken, So many other factors included so the person taking it may feel it right away but it can last in your body for five hours or longer."

Niemczyk points out that it is a tricky situation when dealing with cannabis as you can not be sure how your body will react.

Cannabis can affect your judgment, decision making, and reaction time all of which are going to delay you as a driver to make the right decisions.
