well, you have a DUI arrest - could lose your license for 12months if DUI - if DWAI, no license suspension - if you did a urine test, then there is likely no evidence of intoxication - did you admit to using and say when used?

depending on evidence, this could be a non-DUI plea with a good attorney

medical use of MJ does not allow a person to drive while using

do you have a medical MJ license?

I would be happy to discuss further

Driving under the influence of drugs carries a possible sentence of up to a year in jail, court costs in the area of around $1,100, community service work, and possibly other punishments. These cases are difficult for the government to prosecute so an attorney may be able to help mitigate the damages. Your driving privileges may be affected depending on the outcome. Feel free to call me for a free consultation.
