Cannabis and driving: Background to inform a harm reduction approach

The thesis provides insights into cannabis and driving in Australia from the viewpoint of both users and health professionals. In particular, findings informed the feasibility of a Harm Reduction approach for cannabis and driving. Globally, attitudes towards recreational and medicinal use of cannabis are becoming increasingly tolerant. It is expected that the prevalence of cannabis use will rise, along with the associated harms such as drug driving. Harm Reduction is a policy which offers a non-judgemental approach to the issue. Key aspects of this approach include offering education and other resources to limit the resultant harm without aiming for eradication.
