As marijuana becomes more widely accepted across the US, it's crucial to remember that driving while high is illegal and dangerous. The NST law firm of Nahon, Saharovich, and Trotz, known for its expertise in personal injuries, has created a comprehensive guide addressing the risks associated with driving under the influence of marijuana.

The guide emphasizes how marijuana affects both physical and cognitive functions, leading to slower reaction times, impaired judgment, and drowsiness — all of which are significant hazards when behind the wheel.

The guide also delves into the complex issue of determining marijuana intoxication. Unlike alcohol, where blood alcohol content can be easily measured, marijuana's effects vary greatly depending on the strain and method of consumption. This makes it harder to predict how long users should wait before driving, especially with THC lingering in the system for days or even weeks.

NST’s guide sheds light on this important issue, offering insights into state laws, the latest testing methods, and real-world implications of driving while impaired by marijuana. Whether you're a casual user or someone considering marijuana for medical purposes, this guide provides essential information to help keep you safe on the road.
