An announcement from the White House that would make marijuana more widely available reportedly could come “as soon as this month,” but before the Trump administration does anything, it should review the latest study on fatal car crashes and marijuana use from Wright State University. 

Over five years, researchers at Wright State University in central Ohio examined the autopsies of every fatal car crash victim in Montgomery County. They found that 42% of the dead had THC, the main psychoactive compound found in marijuana, in their blood, with the average level of THC far past impairment limits. The coroner in Montgomery County typically draws blood for testing within hours of the crash.
