An estimated 156,000 drivers in Ontario have admitted to having recently driven high on a cannabis edible, according to a survey conducted by the Canadian Automobile Association of South Central Ontario (CAA SCO).
The survey said there over the past few years there has been a 10 percent increase in the number of cannabis-impaired drivers who admitted to having consumed an edible before driving, rising from 16 percent in 2019 to 26 percent in 2022. With roughly 10 million Ontario drivers, that figure translates to about 156,000 drivers who have driven high on edibles in the past three months, CAA says.
