Acute cannabis use results in inattention, delayed information processing, impaired coordination, and slowed reaction time. Driving simulator studies and epidemiologic analyses suggest that cannabis use increases motor vehicle crash risk. How much concern should we have regarding cannabis associated motor vehicle collision risks among younger drivers? This article summarizes why young, inexperienced drivers may be at a particularly high risk of crashing after using cannabis. We describe the epidemiology of cannabis use among younger drivers, why combining cannabis with alcohol causes significant impairment and why cannabis edibles may pose a heightened risk to traffic safety. We provide recommendations for clinicians counselling younger drivers about cannabis use and driving.
急性吸食大麻会导致注意力不集中、信息处理延迟、协调能力受损以及反应时间变慢。驾驶模拟器研究和流行病学分析表明,吸食大麻会增加机动车碰撞风险。对于年轻驾驶员中与大麻相关的机动车碰撞风险,我们应该有多担心呢?本文总结了为什么年轻、缺乏经验的驾驶员在吸食大麻后可能特别容易发生撞车事故。我们描述了年轻驾驶员中大麻使用的流行病学情况,为什么大麻与酒精混合使用会导致严重损害,以及为什么大麻食品可能对交通安全构成更高风险。我们为临床医生就大麻使用和驾驶问题为年轻驾驶员提供咨询提供建议。
