The Canadian Automobile Association has released a study that suggests more needs to done to raise awareness of driving while high.

A CAA poll found that over one-fifth of people said that they had either driven after consuming cannabis or got into a car with some who had.

When it came to driving ability while high, 15 percent of respondents said that a driver who had used cannabis was the same or better behind the wheel.

The recent results echo those of a federal poll conducted just before cannabis was legalized. Around that same time, the federal government launched public-awareness campaigns on the dangers of driving while high.
