**Postdoctoral Fellow, School of Public Health**:
**Project Description**:
There is increasing evidence showing an increase in motor vehicle crashes related to young drivers who consume cannabis. While studies show that smoking or vaping cannabis is associated with impaired driving performance, there have been no studies examining the influence of edibles on driving performance. Although smoking or vaping can have near immediate effects, the effects take longer to present after consuming edibles (~1-2 hours) which can last up to 10 hours. Additionally, prior studies have often not defined the type of cannabis tested in research studies and there is a strong likelihood that different cannabis strains produce different impairments related to driving performance. Using a driving simulator, the objectives of the present study are 1) to discern the effects of cannabis types (sativa (mind-boosting, energizing) and indica (relaxing)) on driving performance; 2) to determine at what time driving is most impaired; 3) to examine how long driving ability is impaired after edible consumption; and 4) to examine the association between driver perceptions, their ability to think clearly, and driving performance.
