Driving With An Illegal Drug Or Metabolite In Your System A.R.S. 28-1381(A)(3)
If the government can prove you drove a car with an illegal drug or the
metabolite of an illegal drug in your system, that is a violation of
A.R.S. 28-1381(A)(3). Importantly, just like the allegation that you
were driving with a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit,
the government does not need to prove that the drugs or metabolites in
your system actually affected your ability to drive; to convict you,
the government just needs to prove that you had the illegal drug or
metabolite in your system. Some studies show that THC-carboxy, which is
a marijuana metabolite, can stay up to 30 days in the human system.
Thus, the government could potentially convict someone of DUI for
having smoked marijuana a month ago. Contact Vladimir Gagic at his Phoenix or Scottsdale offices today. |
