Marijuana DUI Attorney in Parker, CO
Helping Those Charged with a DUID in the Denver Metro Area
The legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado, which took place in 2012, has complicated driving rules in the state. While marijuana consumption is legal, operating a vehicle while under the influence of marijuana is not, which leads to a complex situation that law enforcement and citizens must navigate.
According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Colorado has seen increased traffic fatalities since recreational cannabis laws were passed. Furthermore, the Colorado Department of Transportation has warned that the chances of a traffic accident are doubled when driving under the influence of THC, the main psychoactive component of marijuana.
As a result, the penalties for marijuana-related driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) are serious and well-enforced.
