Once probable cause is established, officers will move fast to secure evidence. For example, an officer could perform a blood draw and/or search the vehicle for evidence to seize pursuant to an inventory search. While investigating, at least one of the officers should be specially-trained as a Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). The State relies on the testimony of these officers to render opinions about the effect of marijuana on the suspect’s ability to drive.
Penalties for driving under the influence of marijuana are similar to those for alcohol, and may include up to 93 days in jail, a $500 fine, license suspension, and points on your driving record.
