Manitoba Public Insurance encourages everyone to find a safe way home if you're going out for a night of smoking legal pot.
Spokesperson for MPI, Brian Smiley, says drivers need to be aware of the risks of getting behind the wheel while high.
“Educating drivers that if they do consume cannabis will affect their driving one way or another. There’s many people that have the misconception that pot and cannabis does not affect their driving, but studies have shown it does. It’s a form of impaired driving and drivers need to educate themselves for not only their own safety but for the safety of their passengers and the safety of other motorists.”
It’s recommended to put any cannabis products in your trunk or as far out of reach of the driver as you can to avoid getting in trouble with the law.
