Examining the impact of legalization on the prevalence of driving after using cannabis: A comparison of rural and non-rural parts of Canada

CONCLUSIONS: The finding of significantly higher risk of driving after use of cannabis soon after legalization in rural areas suggests a need for more attention to address immediate concerns for public safety. The increased potential for traffic injuries and deaths in other jurisdictions contemplating legalization supports the call for more and better targeted prevention efforts in rural communities that have far too often been overlooked and under-served.PMID:38572920 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2333908
