Fatal Vision® THC Program Kit

Fatal Vision® THC – Program Kit

Incorporate the five (5) activities included in this kit to deliver an interactive experience that emphasizes the impact of the cognitive impairments associated with driving under recreational THC’s influence.

Modeled Impairments
Loss of short-term memory, executive function, altered visual perception, and slight loss of motor coordination

Experience
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) affects the brain differently than alcohol, and the Fatal Vision® THC Goggles reflect that difference. The Fatal Vision Alcohol goggle distorts vision making it difficult for a participant to walk a straight line and accomplish other activities requiring coordination. The Fatal Vision THC goggle impairs a participant’s visual perception and reaction time. This lack of perception diminishes the necessary visual information a participant needs to complete specially designed activities thereby modeling the impaired perception caused by recreational THC use.   

How It works

The Fatal Vision THC Goggles Program Kit includes activities and goggles designed to showcase some of the dangerous consequences of THC usage: including the loss of ability to make quick and accurate decisions. These goggles work by distorting a person‘s ability to perceive color (NOTE: someone under the influence of marijuana DOES NOT lose their ability to distinguish between colors). We use this feature of the goggle to model some of recreational THC’s impairing effects – such as a decrease in reaction time and visual perception. For an impaired driver, these impairment effects could lead to a crash.  

The program kit includes five activities to use with the THC goggles as well as instructional materials and videos. The activities give participants an understanding of the potentially severe consequences that can result from recreational THC use.  PATENT NO.: US 10,366,630 B2
