SHERIDAN, WYOMING – November 28, 2025 – As cannabis edibles become more popular across Canada, new research from the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) and British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) is sending a clear message to drivers in BC: if you’re consuming edibles, you need to plan a safe ride home.
