Understanding cannabis use and car crashes: Insights from a randomized trial using a driving simulator on THC blood levels and subjective measures of sleepiness and performance.

Journal of safety research December 1, 2025 Bibiana Cardozo, Sarah Hartley, Nicolas Simon et al.

To investigate whether THC inhalation increases driving collisions, and to explore the relationship between car crashes and self-assessed driving ability as measured by Visual Analog Scales (VAS) and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale, 30 male volunteers aged 18-30 years old, with a BMI of 18.5-26.2 Kg/m2, moderate tobacco and caffeine consumption, and at least one year of cannabis use either...

Signaling-specific inhibition of the CB1 receptor for cannabis use disorder: phase 1 and phase 2a randomized trials.

Nature Medicine June 2023 Margaret Haney, Monique Vallée, Sandy Fabre et al.

Cannabis use disorder (CUD) is widespread, and there is no pharmacotherapy to facilitate its treatment. AEF0117, the first of a new pharmacological class, is a signaling-specific inhibitor of the cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1-SSi). AEF0117 selectively inhibits a subset of intracellular effects resulting from Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) binding without modifying behavior per se. In mice and...

Can inhaled cannabis users accurately evaluate impaired driving ability? A randomized controlled trial.

Frontiers in Public Health 2023 Sarah Hartley, Nicolas Simon, Bibiana Cardozo et al.

To study the effect of inhaled cannabis on self-assessed predicted driving ability and its relation to reaction times and driving ability on a driving simulator. 30 healthy male volunteers aged 18-34: 15 chronic (1-2 joints /day) and 15 occasional (1-2 joints/week) consumers. Self-assessed driving confidence (visual analog scale), vigilance (Karolinska), reaction time (mean reciprocal reaction...
