You can get a Marijuana DUI for driving high in
New Jersey
, even though the state recently decriminalized marijuana use.
Marijuana is treated just like any other mind-altering drug when it comes to driving under the influence. This means that driving high can have consequences including:
  • Mandatory license suspension
  • Jail time
  • Substantial fines
