Summary

This study looks at how using vaporized cannabis and drinking alcohol together affects thinking, coordination, and driving skills. About 90 healthy adults will take part in sessions where they receive different doses of cannabis (THC) and alcohol or placebos. Researchers will measure impairment using cognitive tests, field sobriety tests, and a driving simulator to better understand the risks of combining these substances.

What this could lead to

If successful, this study could provide clearer data on how cannabis and alcohol together impair driving and cognitive skills, potentially informing safety laws and public health advice.
