Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
Regulations concerning driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) are similar to those for driving under the influence of alcohol. If you are facing a DUID charge, you should consider hiring an experienced DUI attorney to handle your case, fight for your freedom, and help you get any treatment you may need.
Prescription Drugs
You may be surprised to learn that you can be arrested for driving while under the influence of a legal prescription drug, if it impairs your mental or physical skills and causes you to drive dangerously or erratically. If you are stopped for DUID, you should request an attorney immediately.
Marijuana
Driving under the influence of marijuana is a punishable offense similar to driving under the influence of alcohol. If you are suspected of this crime, law enforcement officers will ask you to provide a blood sample to test for marijuana. You should cooperate with police and ask to speak to a lawyer.
Other Illegal Drugs
In some states, you can be arrested for DUI if any amount of an illegal drug is found in your body, even if your driving was not impaired. These “zero tolerance” DUI laws can be harshly punished, and you should contact a reputable DUID attorney right away to defend your rights.
