  1. Understanding Virginia Marijuana DUI Charges – How Do They Prove It?

  2. The state of Virginia and all local government officials take DUI cases very seriously. When most people think of DUI charges, they think of a person driving under the influence of alcohol. However, a person can also get a DUI if they are accused of operating while impaired by narcotics.

  3. There has been some confusion about DUI charges in Virginia after the decriminalization of marijuana took place. It is still illegal to possess, distribute, or consume marijuana in Virginia. Anybody who is pulled over by the police and suspected of driving under the influence of marijuana could be charged with DUI.

  4. Unlike alcohol-based DUI charges, there is no breathalyzer test that can be used to prove a person’s level of intoxication. In these cases, a blood test is going to be required to establish that the person arrested was impaired by THC (the intoxicant inside marijuana) at the time of their arrest. In order to do so, prosecutors will use testimony from the officer who made the arrest about their observations at the time of the traffic stop as well as evidence from any field sobriety tests administered.

  5. Marijuana DUI penalties are the same penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or any other drugs in Virginia. A person facing marijuana DUI charges, for a first offense, can face up to 12 months of a license suspension as well as a mandatory requirement to attend Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program (VASAP) classes.
