A panel of international experts on drug-impaired driving met in Seattle during August 2000 to review developments in the field of drugs and human performance over the last 10 years; to identify the specific effects that both illicit and prescription drugs have on driving; and to develop guidance for others when dealing with drug-impaired driving problems. Delegates represented the fields of psychopharmacology, behavioral psychology, drug chemistry, forensic toxicology, medicine, and law enforcement experts trained in the recognition of drug effects on drivers in the field. These Fact Sheets represent the conclusions of the Panel and include the state of current scientific knowledge in the area of drugs and human performance for the drugs selected for evaluation. Sixteen drugs were selected for review and include over-the-counter medications, prescription drugs, and illicit and/or abused drugs. The selected drugs are cannabis/marijuana, carisoprodol, cocaine, dextromethorphan, diazepam, diphenhydramine, gamma-hydroxybutyrate, ketamine, lysergic acid diethylamide, methadone, methamphetamine/amphetamine, methylenedioxymethamphetmaine, morphine/heroin, phencyclidine, toluene, and zolpidem. |
