Healthcare Technologies to Address Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of Marijuana

Abstract

In recent years, the United States has confronted an escalating public health and safety challenge brought about by the proliferation of driving under the influence (DUI) of marijuana. This predicament has arisen due to the legalization of marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes across several states, engendering a substantial rise in the presence of marijuana-impaired drivers on the nation's roadways. This scholarly work explores the contemporary landscape of marijuana DUI legislation, the pervasiveness of marijuana-impaired driving incidents, and the consequential health and safety hazards. The analysis underscores the exigency for pioneering healthcare technologies and strategic interventions to enhance the detection and deterrence of marijuana-impaired driving. This chapter posits that such healthcare technological advancements, combined with comprehensive strategies, promise to ameliorate the burgeoning menace of cannabis-related DUI and its impact on public health and safety in the United States by exploring current literature.
