MADD Canada begins drug-impaired driving campaign

Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada began a new awareness campaign yesterday intended to discourage young people from driving while under the influence of illegal drugs such as marijuana. "We're very concerned with the mixed messages in the public about marijuana and other popular drugs," said Karen Dunham, national president of MADD Canada. "Young drivers need to realize the dangers of drug impaired driving, just as this generation of drivers has understood the dangers of alcohol and driving." The campaign will begin this week at Canadian colleges and universities with media releases and on-line materials. In the fall the organization will release new public service announcements focused on drug-impaired driving.
