Arizona’s harsh Driving Under the Influence laws prohibit not just driving under the influence of alcohol, but also driving under the influence of marijuana. You can be charged for Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana in two different ways:
If you drive while having any marijuana or its metabolites in your blood, then you can be charged for Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana. It does not matter that you were not impaired by the marijuana.
It is a defense to this charge that the metabolite found in your blood was an inactive one, specifically carboxy-THC. It is also a defense to this charge that you have a valid Arizona Medical Marijuana Card.
If you drive with marijuana present in your blood and are impaired, even to the slightest degree, then you can be charged with Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana. It is not a defense to this charge that you had a valid Arizona Medical Marijuana Card.
