Americans view driving under the influence of marijuana as one of the issues they’re “least concerned” about when compared to other dangerous behaviors such as operating a vehicle while distracted by cellphones, speeding or getting behind the wheel after drinking alcohol, according to a new Pew Research Center poll.
The survey, which looked at public opinion on traffic concerns, found a majority of Americans (82 percent) still regard driving while high on cannabis to be either a major problem (37 percent) or minor problem (45 percent) in their area.
