Although most medications won’t affect your ability to drive, some prescription and nonprescription medicines can have side effects and cause reactions that may make it unsafe to drive, including:
  • sleepiness/drowsiness
  • blurred vision
  • dizziness
  • slowed movement
  • fainting
  • inability to focus or pay attention
  • nausea
  • excitability
Additionally, we know that CBD can cause sleepiness, sedation and lethargy, based on data from the approved prescription CBD drug. Because of these side effects, consumers should use caution if planning on operating a motor vehicle after consuming any CBD products.
