They are the three "Consequence Strains" in a campaign by R.I.D.E Checks — an organization that works with police services to promote road safety — aimed at illuminating the consequences of driving stoned. "We kind of want to get the message out there in their language," said Lorne Simon, founder of R.I.D.E Checks. R.I.D.E Checks is launching the new campaign at Humber College Lake Shore Campus in collaboration with the Ontario Provincial Police and various municipal police services. So far in 2017, the Toronto Police Service says 1,048 people have been arrested for alcohol impairment and 56 have been arrested for drug impairment. There were 1,108 arrests for alcohol impairment and 77 arrests for drug impairment.
