Fatal Vision® Marijuana/THC – Starter Kit
This introductory kit includes three (3) activities that demonstrate why driving under the influence of recreational marijuana/THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is dangerous.
Modeled Impairments
Loss of short-term memory, executive function, altered visual perception, and slight loss of motor coordination.
Experience
The Marijuana/THC Goggles Starter Kit features introductory activities and materials to demonstrate the impaired perception caused by recreational marijuana/THC usage. Marijuana affects the brain differently than alcohol, and the Fatal Vision® Marijuana/THC Goggles reflect that difference.
How It works
The Fatal Vision Marijuana/THC Goggle impairs 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 goggle feature to model a loss of capacity to make quick and accurate decisions, one of the main recreational marijuana/THC’s impairing effects. For an impaired driver, this loss could lead to a crash.
The starter kit comes with introductory marijuana education and prevention instructional materials and videos to help you use the marijuana goggles with custom-designed activities. These activities shed light on the potentially severe consequences that can result from recreational marijuana/THC use. PATENT NO.: US 10,366,630 B2
