DUI is the operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Marijuana is considered a drug under Colorado law. The legal limit is 5 nanograms. Defending DUI Marijuana cases requires some specialized knowledge. There are several key differences between a DUI involving alcohol and a DUI involving THC. The testing is different. For example, a blood test is the only option in DUID cases. The blood test will first determine if there is THC in the system. A second test will be conducted to determine if active THC metabolites are present in the defendant's blood. The same standard field sobriety tests used in alcohol cases are also used in marijuana cases. However, the findings should not be the same. One component of the SFST is a horizontal gaze nystagmus test. This test should result in no findings if the police only suspect THC. Finally, THC DUI cases impact a defendant's driving privileges differently. If you have questions concerning a DUI Defense case involving THC, find out more by visiting the link below.
