Whether it’s referred to as DWI or DUI – driving while under the influence of drugs carries the same prohibitive penalties as driving under the influence of alcohol.

Illicit drug DUIs are some of the most challenging cases to defend. The prosecutor has two possible ways to get a conviction. First, if you are driving with any controlled substance metabolite (e.g., marijuana (without a medical marijuana card), methamphetamine, LSD, heroin, cocaine) in your system, a court could find you guilty of DUI merely due to its presence in your blood.
Second, if there is a controlled substance metabolite found in your blood, and the state can show that you were driving and impaired to the slightest degree, then you could be found guilty of an illicit drug DUI.
