Going back on the timeline of humanity, man has almost always sought to alter his mind with substances. His impulse to do so has not always been tampered by an awareness of the risks to human life as technology brought us the automobile and the airplane.

THC and fatal crashes

• A recent study presented at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress found that over 40% of drivers who died in fatal crashes in Montgomery County, Ohio, between 2019 and 2024 tested positive for active THC.
• The same study noted that the average THC level in these deceased drivers was 30.7 ng/mL, which is far above the 2–5 ng/mL legal limit in states that have one. This indicates recent use, not residual.
