SEATTLE – Stoned drivers in Washington state are most likely to get in crashes between the hours of 4 and 5 p.m.

They do so most often on Saturdays, and more drivers in Vancouver get into crashes while high on weed than any other city in our state.

Those are the key findings of a recent study conducted by Seattle personal injury law firm Davis Law Group, which analyzed the last four years of marijuana-involved collisions as reported by the Washington State Patrol.

There were 392 total marijuana-involved driving incidents reported in that time period, which resulted in 37 fatalities. 22 were listed as Serious Injury collisions, 110 Minor Injury crashes, and 215 collisions that did not result in any injuries. Eight were recorded as “unknown injury.”

Among major roads in the state, I-5 led the pack with the most collisions involving marijuana at 57. I-90 had 11 crashes and I-82 through Yakima and Tri-Cities had 10.

The study says according to a Gallup poll, 70% of people think that driving while impaired by marijuana is “not much of a problem” or only a “somewhat serious problem,” whereas just 29% said it was a very serious problem.

Under Washington state’s law, motorists with detectable levels of THC in the blood above 5 ng/ml (nanograms per milliliter) are guilty of driving under the influence.
