This article examines the implications that Canada\u2019s new drug-impaired driving legislation
\nmay have on cannabis users. It illustrates that the implementation of criminal sanctions to enforce
\nnew measures, specifically a \u2018per se\u2019 limit for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), may have unintended
\nconsequences. The article highlights that, based on the current scientific evidence, it is unclear if
\nthe implemented per se limit will reflect impairment in all drivers. Possible consequences of this
\nlaw are then explored. I note that the new legislation potentially prevents individuals who legally
\nconsume cannabis from driving without the risk of criminalization. The implication is that in
\nattempting to legalize cannabis consumption, the Canadian Government has created a framework
\nthat may further criminalize cannabis users. This could erect significant social and legal barriers
\nunder the guise of criminal justice.<\/p>\n
