Can you get a DUI for driving high in Utah?

I’m kind of confused about Utah’s driving laws because I thought that DUIs were for drunk driving only. Can you get a DUI for any kind of drug or just for alcohol?

Yes, you can still get a DUI for driving high in
Utah
. While the term DUI is often associated with drunk driving, it can be applied to other forms of mind-altering substances, too.
If you’re caught with any measurable amount of marijuana in your system, you can be charged with a DUI. This sometimes means that you’ll be charged with a DUI even if the effects of the drug have worn off. If this happens, a good traffic lawyer can help you out.
