Driving Under the Influence of Drugs

We Protect The Legal Rights Of Motorists

In New Jersey and New York, a driver can be arrested if an officer believes that he or she is driving under the influence of drugs. For drug-related DUI charges, it is important to note that:

  • Some drugs can stay in your system for weeks, long after they have ceased to have any impact on functioning.
  • There is not a clearly defined relationship between the presence of certain drugs in a person’s body and that person’s impairment with regard to the operation of a motor vehicle.
  • A driver can face separate drug possession charges stemming from a traffic stop.
  • Many arrests are made because an officer claims to smell marijuana in a vehicle — or based on other observations that may be highly subjective.
  • The presence of many drugs and drug metabolites in a person’s blood or urine, even in supposedly high levels, is not illegal in itself.
