The increasing acceptance and legalization of recreational cannabis have brought forth unique challenges in traffic safety and law enforcement. To address these concerns, a pivotal event is scheduled for those keen on understanding and navigating the intricacies of this evolving landscape. The 2023 Michigan Impaired Driving Summit, organized by AAA Michigan and the State of Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning, aims to foster a constructive dialogue surrounding these issues.
The summit is set to take place on Wednesday, November 8, from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm EST. The venue chosen for this engaging discussion is the Crowne Plaza Lansing West, an IHG Hotel, located at 925 South Creyts Road, Lansing, MI 48917.

From 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, the summit will delve into a dynamic, full-day agenda. The organizers have invited national impaired driving experts to join AAA and the State of Michigan's Office of Highway Safety Planning in a comprehensive, statewide conversation. The dialogue will focus on the challenges and nuances of traffic safety and law enforcement, especially in light of the recreational use of cannabis in Michigan.
It's important to note that this event is designed for in-person participation only, with no provision for virtual access.
