Abstract

We report here psychological data from a combined study on the effect of cannabis and alcohol on simulated car-driving and on psychological tests. The car simulator data showed an effect of cannabis and alcohol on brake time and start time, and a much more pronounced effect of cannabis than of alcohol on time and distance estimation after simulated driving. We have also measured the dose-response curve for cannabis1. This report deals with tests of attention and short-term memory, and of subjective and objective ratings of degree and kind of intoxication.
