All Purpose Room

Join Deputy Lora with the El Paso County Sherrif's Department for fatal vision course that teaches participants how marijuana impacts perception and ability to perform daily activities. the fatal vision marijuana goggles simulate effects of maijuana intoxication and there will be discussion topics such as impaired driving and underage use.

Marijuana affects the brain differently than alcohol, and the Fatal Vision® Marijuana 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 Marijuana 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 marijuana/THC use.

Black goggles with green lenses titled "marijuana fatal vision®"
