Do I Have to be High in Order to be Guilty of Marijuana DUI?

Yes and no. It is illegal to drive a car if you are impaired from marijuana, but the government has to prove it. There are many defenses to this type of arrest, including the tests that police use, or the driving behavior that occurred. If you have any amount of an active ingredient from marijuana (whether smoked or eaten or ingested in any manner) then you might be guilty even if you are not feeling the effects. The Behan Law Group can explain the defense in greater detail during a consultation by calling 520-220-5047.
