Booming sales of legalised cannabis in Canada has led to booming numbers of car crashes and associated ED visits. In 2018, Canada became one of the first countries in the world to nationally legalise recreational cannabis. But the experiment isn’t going so well according to new research.
The research published in the Journal of American Medical Association found that after legalisation and commercialisation of cannabis, there was an
increase of 223% in rates of cannabis-involved traffic injury ED visits compared to the pre-legalisation period.
