Can you get a DUI for driving high in Alaska?
I got pulled over while I was high on weed and I’m worried that I’ll get a DUI. I know weed is legal, but can you still get a DUI for it in Alaska?

Unfortunately, it’s entirely possible that you’ll get charged with a DUI for driving high in
Alaska
. While weed is legal recreationally, it’s still a crime to drive high. If the officer involved has proof that you were high, you might need to visit a traffic court.
Proof can come in the form of the following:
- A positive drug test
- Evidence in your car, like open containers or paraphernalia
- Confirmation from you—verbally or through your actions
It’s uncommon for police to issue DUI charges after the fact, but it’s not impossible. To find out if you have a DUI charge, you’ll need to contact your local traffic court for more details.
A DUI charge—or any other type of traffic ticket—can affect your
car insurance
rates, too. Fortunately, the Jerry
app can make sure that you’re still getting the best deal for the coverage you need in a matter of minutes. Download the app to find savings no matter what your driving record looks like!
