Does smoking weed affect your driving?

I love smoking weed and I try not to drive while I’m doing it. However, I’m nervous about driving on weed to pick up a friend. My friends says to play it cool, but does weed smoking when you’re driving actually affect you?

Smoking weed affects your driving in many ways. Not only are you primed for a
DUI
, but you also put others at risk.
When you smoke weed, your driving is affected by:
  • Lack of good judgment
  • Poor reactions
  • Driving with emotion rather than reason
  • Distracted driving
  • Blurred vision
If you’re going to smoke weed where it’s legal, your best bet is to get a ride from a sober friend or get a rideshare service.
