Can you get a DUI for driving high in Connecticut?

Sometimes I drive home before I’ve fully sobered up and I get paranoid that I’ll get pulled over and arrested. Will I be charged with a DUI if I get caught driving with weed in my system in Connecticut?

Yes, you can get a DUI for driving high in
Connecticut
.
Punishments for this kind of charge can include:
  • Up to six months in jail
  • $500 to $1,000 in fines
  • License suspension for 45 days
In short, if you ever want to leave a party and you are intoxicated, have a sober friend drive you home, take a taxi, or call a ridesharing service. While weed is gaining acceptance in the US, driving while impaired puts you and those around you in danger.
