Nearly half of drivers killed in crashes had THC in their blood...

More Marijuana Users Are Crash Dummies
High-on-pot drivers are contributing to more highway accident deaths.
Oct. 8, 2025
How much social and public-health damage will Americans suffer before doing a U-turn on marijuana promotion? A new study finds that more than 40% of drivers who died in car accidents in one U.S. county over the last six years had elevated levels of the drug in their blood.
Researchers from Wright State University analyzed driver autopsy results from car crashes in Montgomery County, Ohio, between January 2019 and September 2024. More than four in 10 tested positive for pot’s psychoactive ingredient THC, with an average level of 30.7 nanograms. That’s more than six times the level most states use to define impairment.
Breathalyzers won’t detect recent marijuana use, which makes it hard for police to nab people who are driving while high. Today’s marijuana is five times more potent than the weed that Boomers smoked when they were younger, so it takes less to become impaired.
Auto fatalities have increased over the last decade even as cars have become safer and alcohol consumption has fallen. Could marijuana be contributing to more reckless driving? It’s a fair question. Nearly a quarter of 18- to 25-year-olds used marijuana in the last month, according to a federal survey. As did 15% of those 26 or older.
The Ohio study, which is being presented this week at an American College of Surgeons conference, ought to prompt the Trump Administration to slam the brakes on a mooted plan to move marijuana to a less risky level on the federal drug schedule. Such a move would cultivate the spurious belief that marijuana isn’t all that harmful despite reams of evidence to the contrary.
Marijuana can damage the heart, lungs, immune system and brain. A study this spring in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that marijuana users under age 50 who were free of cardiovascular disease were six times as likely to suffer a heart attack compared to non-users and were at four-fold increased risk of stroke.
Americans were told that legalizing marijuana would reduce the illegal market, but that hasn’t happened. California officials last month said they destroyed more than 20,000 illegal cannabis plants at operations run by transnational criminal organizations. They also found firearms and hazardous pesticides that contaminate the environment.
“When criminals steal or destroy the natural resources that support California’s extraordinary biodiversity, we are committed to stopping them,” said a state wildlife official. Wouldn’t it be nice if progressives warned pot users about doing damage to themselves? What the country needs is a group called Mothers Against Drugged Drivers.
