An interesting new paper comparing fatal crash risks among differing level of blood alcohol, cannabis and other drugs.

 

Romano, E., Torres-Saavedra, P., Voas, R. B., & Lacey, J. H. (2014). Drugs and alcohol: Their relative crash risk. Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, 75(1), 56-64.

 

Abstract concludes: “The lower contribution of drugs other than alcohol to crash risk relative to that of alcohol suggests caution in focusing too much on drugged driving, potentially diverting scarce resources from curbing drunk driving”
