Canada was the second country to legalize cannabis at the federal level, putting us in the unique position of being able to study retail cannabis in the lab. In this ecologically valid study, participants smoked their usual preferred cannabis in the lab prior to driving a simulator and undergoing several cognitive and subjective assessments. This study resulted in 1-2 publications as well as a number of conference presentations and was the impetus for a systematic review. In this study we also engaged a panel of people with lived and living experience to advise on the study design and knowledge mobilization. We learned from these panel members that they believed that our study population of adults of 65-79 years of age would likely demonstrate tolerance to the effects of cannabis. This belief was the motivation for a number of further studies.
