Researchers searched various databases for studies published until January 24, 2020, identifying seven studies meeting the criteria. These studies involved a total of 808 individuals who heavily used dagga and 5308 individuals who did not. The analysis revealed a significant association between frequent or dependent dagga use during youth and a decrease in IQ. On average, this decline amounted to approximately 2 IQ points.
The risk of being in a crash was higher for people who used dagga compared to those who didn’t. Even after considering other factors like how much dagga was in their system and how often they used it, the risk still went up. Overall, these findings suggest that using dagga while driving makes it more likely for someone to get into a car accident.
In summary, the study shows that using dagga before driving raises the risk of being in a car accident, especially a serious one. This information could help in campaigns against driving under the influence of dagga, in creating regulations to prevent people from using drugs before driving, and in raising public awareness.
