Performance in a complex driving simulator under four marihuana dose levels was examined. Car control and tracking appeared to be uninfluenced, but significant dose-related impairment was found on a visual recognition task simulating the search-and-recognition aspects of driving. An additional study of sensory signal detection supported the view that the perceptual deficit induced by marihuana involves a decrease in discrimination sensitivity.
