Feds Lean Into Anti Impaired Cannabis Ads With National Holiday Around the Corner

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is rolling out a fresh approach to its public education efforts aimed at reducing marijuana-impaired driving. Unlike past government-backed campaigns that used fear-based tactics and negative stereotypes about cannabis consumers, the NHTSA is shifting its strategy to embrace cannabis culture in its messaging.

Earlier this year, NHTSA launched the “If You Feel Different, You Drive Different” campaign, which premiered during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about the risks of driving under the influence of marijuana, focusing on how impairment can affect driving performance, no matter how experienced a person is.

As part of the new direction, NHTSA is planning additional public service announcements (PSAs) for major 2025 dates like 4/20, the Fourth of July, and Halloween. These ads feature eye-catching visuals and messages tailored to cannabis consumers, while still promoting safety. One PSA for 4/20—an unofficial marijuana holiday—encourages cannabis enthusiasts to either arrange for a sober driver or “better yet,” use a delivery service.

“The message is simple: If you’re impaired, don’t drive,” an NHTSA spokesperson said in a recent statement. “Whether it’s 4/20 or any other day, we want people to make safe decisions. We’re asking consumers to consider how their actions affect everyone on the road, not just themselves.”

NHTSA’s Fourth of July ad takes a historical approach, mimicking the Declaration of Independence with the message, “We the people want safer roads.” Meanwhile, a Halloween-themed graphic warns against getting “tangled up driving high” with an image of a marijuana leaf woven into a spider’s web.

The move away from past stigmatizing tactics reflects growing public acceptance of marijuana use, particularly in states where the drug is legal. As cannabis culture becomes more mainstream, NHTSA’s focus on safe driving aligns with its broader goal of educating consumers without reinforcing outdated stereotypes.

With additional ads appearing during the holiday season, including one featuring a cannabis-themed Christmas tree, NHTSA is hoping to strike a balance between acknowledging the popularity of marijuana and reinforcing responsible use.
