Virginia DMV Targets High Driving | Washington DC News

Virginia’s DMV launches its first-ever anti-cannabis-impaired driving campaign with the catchy slogan “Relaxxxxx, Don’t Drive High,” targeting users who rely on cannabis for chill vibes — reminding them that if they’re feeling relaxed, they shouldn’t be behind the wheel. Running statewide from August 10 to September 7, the campaign uses TV, radio, billboards, and even airplane banners over concert venues to hammer home the message: cannabis impairs reaction time, lane control, and decision-making — putting lives at risk. Despite cannabis being legal for adults 21+, driving high remains illegal, with over 200 drugged-driving deaths in Virginia in 2025, half tied to cannabis. The DMV urges folks to plan ahead, call a sober ride, or intervene if they see someone impaired — and always buckle up.
