People who drive under the influence of marijuana double their risk of being in a car crash and one in 10 daily marijuana users become dependent on the drug.

PPS chief underwriter John Kennedy said as access to marijuana increased internationally, the effects of the drug would be a great topic of interest to the insurance industry.

“On one hand, no deaths have been reported due to an acute marijuana poisoning, and no studies have clearly documented an increased mortality from the use of the drug. He said further studies would be necessary to reach a definitive conclusion on the long-term health and mortality impacts of marijuana consumption.

“The key underwriting considerations will include the frequency, purpose, and admission of use, as well as the type of marijuana used, the applicant’s age, history of accidents, risky behaviour, and other substance abuse.”

Insurance companies relying on scientific data collected by a company hell bent on finding ways to drop premiums or increase the likelihood of covering you in case of accidents .. sounds perfectly sane.

Problem I have with drugs of any kind and alcohol are that the intoxicated drivers more often than not end the lives of innocent people, including children.

Yeah the difference is that I hardly drive over 12km an hour on weed, so the worst I'm going to do is annoy other road users unless I crash into a pedestrian in which case they can expect a slight bruise ;-)
