Quick Answers to Common Legal Concerns
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a marijuana DUI charge mean in Kentucky?
A marijuana DUI charge in Kentucky refers to operating a vehicle under the influence of marijuana, where the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle safely is impaired by marijuana use. There is no specific legal limit for marijuana impairment in the state.
How do police determine marijuana impairment for a DUI in Kentucky?
Police officers rely on field sobriety tests, chemical tests (such as blood or urine tests), and their observations to determine marijuana impairment. Since there is no set legal limit, these subjective assessments play a major role in charging someone with a marijuana DUI.
Can I be charged with a marijuana DUI even if I’m under the legal marijuana limit?
Yes, you can still be charged with a marijuana DUI even if your blood test shows that you are within the legal limit for marijuana. Impairment is assessed based on your ability to drive, and even small amounts of marijuana can impair your driving abilities.
What are the legal penalties for a marijuana DUI in Kentucky?
The penalties for a marijuana DUI in Kentucky depend on the number of offenses. Penalties can include jail time, fines, license suspension, mandatory substance abuse education, and more severe consequences for repeat offenses.
Is medical marijuana use a defense for a marijuana DUI charge?
While medical marijuana is legal in Kentucky, you can still be charged with a marijuana DUI if it impairs your ability to drive. Having a medical marijuana card does not provide immunity from DUI charges if you are found to be impaired.
Can a marijuana DUI conviction affect my job or future opportunities?
Yes, a marijuana DUI conviction can have long-lasting consequences, including increased insurance rates, difficulties finding employment, and possible restrictions on professional licenses. It’s important to take these charges seriously and seek legal representation.
