More states have passed laws to legalize marijuana and you may be unsure of the safety of marijuana use and driving. No level of marijuana use is acceptable for young drivers, even in states where it is legal. It is illegal and unsafe for teens to drive high, just like it is illegal and unsafe to drink and drive.
