Can you get a DUI for driving high in Maryland?

I got pulled over last week and the officer said I smelled like weed. He was right! I had just smoked, and now I’m super scared that something is going to happen to me. Will I get a DUI for driving high in Maryland?

Unfortunately, you can get a DUI for driving high in
Maryland
if the police officer can prove that the drugs in your system were impairing your ability to operate a vehicle safely.
However, proving that you were impaired by a substance can be difficult—particularly if the officer declined to search your car for more evidence. If you want to know for sure about any charges being brought against you, you can contact your local courthouse for more information.
In the future, remember that buzzed driving is impaired driving. Keep yourself and others safe by staying home or using a rideshare service the next time you need to go somewhere at a time your driving skills may be altered.
If you do get charged with a DUI, you’ll most likely see a pretty significant increase in your insurance rates. To combat spiking payments, look to the
