Defense for DUI of Marijuana in Los Angeles

People who drive under the influence of marijuana are violating the law in the same respect as those people who violate the law by drinking and driving.  Anytime a person drives after consuming an intoxicating substance—whether it be alcohol or drugs—they are in violation of state DUI laws.  Because marijuana affects a person’s reaction time, level of alertness, and physical control—much like alcohol—it is crime to drive while under influence of marijuana.  People who drive under the influence of marijuana not only put their own lives in danger, but they also risk the lives and safety other people around them.   Law enforcement officers, judges, and prosecutors take DUI of marijuana cases very seriously, and will not hesitate to prosecute an offender to the fullest extent of the law.
