Alan I. Leshner, Director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse, defines drug addiction as “uncontrollable, compulsive drug seeking and use, even in the face of negative health and social consequences.”

What does that definition mean to you both as a driver responsible for your own actions, and as a driver sharing the road with other cars, pedestrians, and cyclists?

“……….even in the face of negative health and social consequences.”

As a driver responsible for your own actions, it means if you use, don’t drive. You can be criminally prosecuted for any accident or injuries you cause in most jurisdictions.
