The driving-related attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of cannabis users in the Australian Capital Territory following decriminalisation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In January 2020, the government of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) decriminalised the possession and cultivation of cannabis for personal use. This study explored the driving-related attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of ACT residents who are legally cultivating and consuming cannabis.

Methods

A two-part cross-sectional study was conducted. Part-1: Cannabis users residing in the ACT were invited to complete an online survey. Part-2: Survey respondents who reported 'currently growing' cannabis were invited to submit a sample of their home-grown cannabis for phytocannabinoid analysis. Data from Parts 1 and 2 were used to estimate participants' usual Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) intakes.

Results

N = 385 cannabis users completed all or part
