Chandler Marijuana DUI Lawyers

Most people think of alcohol when the subject of DUI comes up, but you can also be charged with a DUI for driving under the influence of marijuana as well. In Arizona, you can be guilty of DUI if you are impaired to the slightest degree, and that not only applies to alcohol but marijuana and other drugs as well.

It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances:

  1. While under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs, or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree.
  2. If the person has an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more within two hours of driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle and the alcohol concentration results from alcohol consumed either before or while driving or being in actual physical control of the vehicle.
  3. While there is any drug defined in section 13-3401 or its metabolite in the person’s body.
  4. If the vehicle is a commercial motor vehicle that requires a person to obtain a commercial driver’s license as defined in section 28-3001 and the person has an alcohol concentration of 0.04 or more.

Although Prop 207 changed the marijuana laws in Arizona, it is still illegal to operate a motor vehicle if you are under the influence of marijuana. Much like alcohol, if you are convicted for a marijuana DUI, it can have serious repercussions on your life. You could be facing either jail or prison time, stiff fines, and a criminal record. Also, having a valid medical marijuana card will not protect you if you are charged with a marijuana DUI.

With all the changes in the law concerning marijuana, it is important that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney if you have been charged with a marijuana DUI. An experienced attorney may be able to raise possible defenses such as the level of cannabis metabolite in your system was not enough to cause impairment.

Our long successful record includes a jury trial victory despite having 83 lbs of marijuana present and located in the vehicle as well as successful 4th Amendment suppression motions resulting in dismissals of all charges.

As a member of the AOR program, Attourney Rachel Moss helped handle a situation I was involved in and I can’t say enough good things about her and the program itself. She had my back immediately and helped me throughout the entire ordeal. She was very quick to respond to me, answered all my questions and helped me out tremendously. I would totally recommend the AOR program to others.

I just completed the upgrade, and it was easy and quick because I had already watched the video. I watched again most of it to refresh my memory of all the benefits. To have representation before a self-defense incident is comforting therefore not hesitate to protect myself and my family under duress. I know I don't want to hurt or kill anyone with my firearm but to be afraid of the ramifications and die because I'm afraid for my family's existence is counterproductive to having a firearm at all. I recommend this method, as one of the steps in self-defense.
Response from the owner:Hi Casey. Thanks for your kind words! We are honored to represent you. Marc
