Can you get a DUI for driving high in Minnesota?

Drunk driving seems way more dangerous to me than driving high, but I could see the two charges being the same thing in Minnesota. Is driving high treated like a DUI?

Yes, both driving drunk and high are viewed under a similar legal lens. You can get charged with a DUI for driving high in
Minnesota
, just like you can be charged with a DUI for driving while drunk or under the influence of certain substances.
This is how DUIs work in most states. While driving high and driving drunk come with slightly different risks, the two offenses are treated in the same way for legal matters.
