Scientists Have Worked Out How Long Cannabis Actually Gets You Stoned

The researchers hope their findings may advise on laws for driving while stoned to guide users so as not to put themselves or others at risk. However, the study authors stress that this period may need adjusting under certain conditions, and that people who ingest cannabis orally may remain stoned for as long as eight hours. Presenting their findings in the journal Neuroscience and Behavioral Reviews, the researchers sought to provide evidence that could assist the authorities in devising laws regarding driving after cannabis use. Yet the study authors concede that there appears to be no universal answer to the question of how long to wait before driving Mode of ingestion, for instance, has a significant impact on the drugs effects, and those who orally consume cannabis oils or edibles should expect to remain stoned for considerably longer.
