Marijuana-impaired driving continues to be a problem on Colorado roads.
From 2017 to 2018, the Colorado State Patrol (CPS) noted:
• A 25 percent increase in marijuana DUI citations. (Increase in DRE and ARIDE training)
• A 112 percent increase in DUI citations involving both marijuana and alcohol.
• In 2018, more than 20 percent of all DUI citations by CSP involved marijuana.
Why are we doing this?

Overview
• First-of-its-kind “campaign” to understand beliefs,
assumptions, and behaviors on driving high.
Two parts
• Gather Information — Focus groups and surveys
open to the public
• Public engagement — working with the cannabis
industry, government, advocacy groups,
universities and law enforcement
What is the Cannabis Conversation?
Goal 1: Understand the issue and to cooperatively
find solutions to marijuana-impaired driving
Goal 2: Create partnerships, engage the public, and
implement solutions to develop future campaigns
Outcome: Identify and test solutions that encourage
people not to drive after using marijuana

What do Colorado Roadway Users think?
Self-Reported Survey Results:
• Many users consider alcohol to be the main determinant of impaired driving, not cannabis.
• Most users are critical of laws, policies and enforcement about driving under the influence of
cannabis.
• The more often people consumed cannabis, the less dangerous they consider cannabis-
impaired driving to be.
• Trust point of sale providers (budtenders) for information.

Colorado’s HSO Plans to Address the Cultural Change(s) in Roadway Users
• For decades it was the social norm to drive impaired. It took tougher laws, strict enforcement and a social movement by groups like MADD to change the narrative and create a stigma against impaired driving . Such efforts dramatically reduced drunk driving fatalities. (SFST, PBT, Express Consent etc.)
• As the first government to end prohibition of recreational cannabis, the HSO has a unique opportunity to lead and change or even set the social norm.
• The goal is to partner with our public, industry, law enforcement, non profit health and others to set to social norm in Colorado and perhaps a leading path for the country.
