A study of pilots under the influence (we sure are glad we weren’t on those planes) showed that marijuana increased both minor AND major errors. The authors studied the effects of marijuana intoxication on the ability of 10 certified airplane pilots to operate a flight simulator.
The researchers found that all 10 pilots showed a significant decrease in measurements of flying performance 30 minutes after smoking active marijuana. For a group of six pilots tested sequentially for six hours, a decrease in flying performance continued for two hours after smoking the active drug. That’s so scary.
