What is drugged driving?

In 2020, drugs were present in 44% of the fatally injured drivers with a known test result, more frequently than alcohol was present.
According to FARS Data, Cannabinoid use in fatally injured drivers has steadily increased from 2016 to the present as legalization has begun.
After alcohol, marijuana is the drug most often found in the blood of drivers involved in crashes.
Drug-impaired driving is more complex than alcohol-impaired driving for many reasons.
In 2021, alcohol and other drug prevalence among seriously and fatally injured drivers at the five trauma center study sites found:
- More than 31% had measurable alcohol in their systems
- over 28% tested positive for the presence of cannabinoids and,
- over 13% tested positive for opioids.

What are the effects of drugged driving?

Alprazolam(Xanax XR, Niravam), is an anti-anxiety medication in the benzodiazepine family, the same family that includes diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), lorazepam (Ativan), flurazepam (Dalmane), and others. These medications are downers and can cause confusion, blurry vision, and vertigo. Not good effects to get behind the wheel.
Amphetamine and dextroamphetamine (Adderall) are used for treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. Amphetamines stimulate the brain by increasing the level of neurotransmitters, dopamine, and norepinephrine, in the brain. While it may boost your ego, Adderall can increase your heart rate and puts drivers at risk for having a seizure or stroke.
The effects of MDMA (Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, commonly known as ecstasy (E) can be confusion, severe anxiety, and decreased motor skills. Taking any drug can impair your driving skills, putting you and others more at risk for a car crash.
OxyContin(oxycodone) is an opioid pain medication. Painkillers are one of the most commonly abused drugs by teens, after tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana. Opioids are highly addictive and can cause nausea, confusion, and breathing problems behind the wheel.
Not only will driving under the influence of marijuana earn you a DUI, but it will significantly impair judgment, motor coordination, and reaction time – perfect conditions for causing a crash.
