Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan are conducting a study to learn how THC edibles impact driving performance.
Participants will consume 10 milligrams of THC edibles before getting behind the wheel of a driving simulator.
"We're going to be the first to really dive into this topic," Alexander Crizzle, an associate professor who is leading the study, told CTV News.
"Most of the research right now is on inhaled cannabis or smoked cannabis. There hasn't been any studies looking at the effects of edibles."
Participants will take the simulated driving test four times: 1.5 hours, 2.5 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours after consuming the edibles.
"Sometimes if people are taking edibles, they might feel like there's a window of safe time they have to drive," Crizzle said, at the simulation lab.
"We're trying to understand how quickly these edibles hit, how pronounced those effects might be and how long they last."
