The excitement is palpable as the community gears up for an exhilarating game day, with cheers and camaraderie filling the air. While everyone is eagerly anticipating the big match, the South San Francisco Police Department is reminding the public to prioritize safety and responsibility, emphasizing that impairment extends beyond alcohol alone.
In a recent statement, the South San Francisco Police Department underscored the importance of recognizing that substances other than alcohol can impair one’s ability to drive safely. As fans prepare to rally behind their home team, the reminder is clear: marijuana, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs can all impact a person’s capacity to operate a vehicle safely.
With the legalization of marijuana in several states and the prevalence of prescription medications, it’s crucial for individuals to be informed about how certain substances may affect their cognitive and motor skills. The Police Department encourages the community to conduct research and understand the potential impairing effects of substances they might be using.
