Can you get a DUI for driving high in Alabama?
Would I be charged with a DUI if I got caught driving with weed in my system in Alabama? I tried weed for the first time on a trip to Colorado, but now I’m paranoid about getting in trouble when I go home.

You could get a DUI if you’re caught driving while high in
Alabama
. However, it’s very unlikely that you’ll be pulled over or drug tested unless you’re driving erratically.However, proving that you have marijuana in your system is relatively difficult for law enforcement since it requires blood or urine testing.
If an officer doesn’t see poor driving behavior, smell weed smoke, see evidence of weed use (such as open packages, red eyes, or a joint), or hear you talking about smoking, the odds are low that you’ll be charged with a DUI just for having weed in your system.
While you should be safe from a DUI charge, your
car insurance
could skyrocket from a DUI-related incident in the future. To get ahead of any violations, check out the Jerry
