Survey: users of both alcohol, marijuana take more risks behind the wheel

CADILLAC — A recent AAA survey found that respondents who reported using both marijuana and alcohol (not necessarily at the same time) tend to take more risks behind the wheel. According to the research, drivers who consumed marijuana and alcohol within a 30 day period were more likely to engage in risky behavior like speeding, texting, intentionally running red lights, and aggressive driving. Regardless of whether marijuana is legal or prescribed, driving under the influence of the drug is illegal and extremely dangerous,‘ said Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Although some drivers think marijuana makes them a better driver, research shows it can inhibit concentration, slow reaction times, and cloud judgment. That judgement is even more compromised by a marijuana user who also drinks alcohol. It’s important that drivers know the risk that comes with these two drugs and never drive impaired.‘
