Re: Prescription drugs
The offense is the operation of a motor vehicle upon the streets or highways while under the influence of an intoxicating beverage or altering drug [legal OR illegal] to the extent that one is rendered incapable of operating the motor vehicle safely.
If the operation is adversely affected by the drug it makes absolutely no difference that it is a prescribed medication.
