Police Officer: โHow high are you?โ
Pothead: โNo, officer, itโs โhi, how are youโ?โ
Medical marijuana users: Do you ever just smoke a joint, and get really high? Like, so high that youโre in a daze, and very spacey? You have a thought and then forget it before you can even speak it out? You look at the time, and you canโt believe that only 5 minutes have passed? Youโre so carefree, you forget about all your worries? And then. . . You decide to drive for some munchies.
Youโre in the car, and you forget where youโre going until you see the sign for McDonaldโs and your brain reminds you how โhungryโ you are. You start speeding towards McDonaldโs, only to spot Taco Bell next to you, and by the time you look forward again, youโre swerving, and a cop is behind you with his lights on.
If that cop canโt already tell youโre high by your squinty, bloodshot eyes, he will do a sobriety test on you which will decide whether you are eligible for a DUI. Your blood will be drawn and tested to see if you exceed the 5-nanogram limit of THC which determines whether you should be driving or not.
A marijuana DUI will result in:
- Jail time
- License suspension (both your Driverโs License and your license to purchase marijuana)
- Fines and court expenses
- Mandatory drug and alcohol course
To ensure the safety of you and the other drivers around you, please resist the urge to drive while stoned. The effects of inhaled/smoked marijuana wear off within 2-3 hours, The effects of an edible can last as long as 8 hours!! Each of these stats, will change for each person, please know your personal limits.
