Can you get a DUI for driving high in Missouri?

My mom asked me to go to the store hours after I used marijuana, but now I’m super nervous. If I get caught driving while I’m high, will I get a DUI in Missouri?

Yes, you can be charged with a DUI for driving high in
Missouri
. Since it can be difficult to tell when someone is impaired due to marijuana use, however, most marijuana-related charges are DWIs.
While DUIs imply only the usage of alcohol or drugs, DWIs imply impairment. Therefore, you can be charged with a DWI if you are visibly impaired by whatever substances you have taken. These charges are typically more serious than DUIs and carry substantial consequences.
Traffic tickets and DWIs can increase your
car insurance
rates. Fortunately, the
