Cannabis Gummies Harm Driving Performance Hours After Use, Study Says Authored by Naveen Athrappully via The Epoch Times, The use of commercially available cannabis edibles impairs people's driving ability, even after several hours of consumption, a study has found. Published in the JAMA Network Open journal on Aug. 31, the peer-reviewed study looked at simulated driving performance after the consumption of cannabis edibles. Conducted in a Canadian hospital, the study analyzed data of 40 people aged 19-45 years.
