Legal Limit for Driving While High
Unlike alcohol, there is no “legal limit” of marijuana concentration that a driver can have in their blood system. Experts are still trying to determine to what extent marijuana impairs a person’s driving abilities. So far, researchers have discovered that marijuana affects individuals differently; therefore, it is difficult to create a legal driving limit that applies to all drivers.
Although there isn’t a set legal limit for driving while under the influence of marijuana or other drugs, it is important to understand that it can result in serious consequences.
