As April 20th approaches, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) is reinforcing its message: Don’t drive high.
After three years of research and feedback from industry employees, CDOT is sharing updated safety recommendations to prevent cannabis-impaired driving. Guidelines include:
- Wait at least six hours after smoking 35mg of THC before driving.
- Wait eight hours after consuming up to 18mg of THC in edibles or drinks.
- Avoid driving entirely if unsure of impairment levels.
CDOT reminds Coloradans that cannabis DUIs carry the same penalties as alcohol-related DUIs, including fines, court costs, and potential jail time.
If you’re unsure whether you’re safe to drive, don’t risk it—find a sober ride instead.
