High Doses Of CBD Don’t Affect Driving, New Study ShowsPosted by On


Researchers of the University of Sydney, Australia, found that high doses of CBD don’t impair driving.

Published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology on May 30, the study says that oral CBD treatment, even if taken at a high dosage, doesn’t “appear to induce feelings of intoxication and is unlikely to impair cognitive function or driving performance.”

Researchers analyzed the simulated driving performance of 17 participants who undertook driving tasks after consuming a placebo and three different dosages of CBD in oil: 15mg, 300mg, and 1,500 mg.

Participants had to take two tests. In the first one, they had to try to maintain a safe distance between themselves and a lead vehicle. The second implied driving along highways and rural roads.

Participants completed the task between 45-75 minutes after taking their assigned treatment. They repeated the same driving simulations with a time interval between 3.5 and four hours. This was necessary to cover the range of plasma CBD concentrations at different times. They repeated the tests four times, under placebo and each of the three different dosages of CBD treatments.

The researchers considered participants’ driving ability and measured how they controlled the simulated car, how much they weaved or drifted, as well as their cognitive function, subjective experiences, and the CBD concentrations in their plasma.

They concluded that no dose of CBD induced…
