CBD does NOT impair driving – but cannabis products with THC can affect abilities for up to four hours, study reveals
- Scientists found CBD does not impair driving in a first-of-its kind study
- Participants inhaled cannabis containing different mixes of THC and CBD
- Those who inhaled cannabis mostly with CBD kept control while driving
- Participants who ingested the mixture showed impairment on the road
Cannabis that contains mainly cannabidiol (CBD) has been found, for the first time, not to impair driving, according to a landmark study.
A team from Australia conducted experiments with participants who drove for 62 miles after inhaling cannabis containing different mixes of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and CBD.
Cannabis products containing primary CBD did not impair driving while cannabis containing THC, or a THC and CBD mixture, caused mild impairment measured at 40 minutes later but not after four hours.
Researchers say their study should ‘reassure people using CBD-only products that they are most likely safe to drive, while helping patients using THC-dominant products to understand the duration of impairment.’
