California Marijuana DUI

Staying informed about the evolving laws can be overwhelming, particularly if you are facing charges and are uncertain about your rights. This is where the expertise of an experienced criminal defense driving under the influence (“DUI”) attorney becomes crucial.

At HJP Legal, attorney Halley J. Peters is committed to vigorously defending her clients against all DUI charges, including those involving marijuana and other drugs. You can trust our firm’s extensive experience and reputation in the Southern California legal community as we fight to safeguard your rights.

California Cannabis/Marijuana/Drug DUI Penalties

If you face marijuana DUI charges, the penalties may include the following:

• Possible jail sentence of up to six months
• Fines up to $4,000
• A driver’s license suspension
• Drug assessment and education
• Probation

These penalties mentioned above apply to first-time offenses only. If it is a subsequent offense, the consequences may be more severe.

Furthermore, in addition to facing Southern California DUI charges, you may also receive a ticket and accumulate negligent driving points on your license if there is an open container of cannabis or if cannabis is being consumed in the vehicle, regardless of who is using it. Similar to having an open container of alcohol in the car, if you are pulled over with cannabis in your vehicle, it will be treated as such under the law.
