When Does Marijuana Lead to a DUI Conviction in CO?
Although recreational use of marijuana is now legal in Colorado, DUI is still a crime. You face the same basic criminal penalties for driving under the influence of marijuana as you would for driving under the influence of alcohol. There is no strict legal limit for marijuana at which point you are considered too impaired to drive. You can be charged with DUI of marijuana if you are substantially mentally and/or physically incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle. This offense is usually charged as a misdemeanor.
