 Research: Moderate amount of cannabis may improve driving performance

About MarijuanaA recent UK driving simulator study has found that moderate amounts of cannabis improves driving performance. Participants who smoked 0.15mg of cannabis (described as "about half a joint") had better reaction times and concentration levels and drove faster with fewer crashes. However once the participants smoked 0.58mg of cannabis (described as "about two joints") their driving performance dropped compared to the straight drivers.

Several previous research studies have shown that stoned drivers are much safer than drunk drivers, however drivers who have taken both cannabis and alcohol are worst of all.
