Myth or Fact?

Marijuana helps me drive better...

MYTH!

Marijuana affects alertness, concentration, perception, coordination and reaction time, many of the skills required for driving and other tasks. These effects can last up to four hours after smoking marijuana. 

Remember to think it through and make a choice. Get the facts before you act!

Just remember that the choice is YOURS.
