Absolutely not. Driving impaired by any substance – cannabis, alcohol, or anything else – is never acceptable. That’s why this reform keeps strict impairment laws in place. Research does not show that the mere presence of THC increases crash risk. There is no evidence of increased road trauma caused by THC residue once the impairment window has passed, and no coronial reports linking THC presence alone to causing crashes. For perspective, driving after less than six hours’ sleep or being over 75 years old carries comparable or higher risks.
