Can you get a DUI for driving high in Arkansas?
I’m doing a presentation for my student government and one of the things we’re talking about is driving while high. What happens if you get pulled over while you’re high in Arkansas?

It’s great that you’re helping to educate your peers about the dangers of high driving! You’ll typically be charged with a
DWI, not a DUI
if you’re caught driving high in Arkansas. These two charges are often functionally the same but carry slightly different legal meanings.DUI stands for *Driving Under the Influence**, meaning you’re operating a vehicle with alcohol or drugs in your system. DWI stands for Driving While Intoxicated, meaning you’re operating a vehicle while impaired due to the alcohol or drugs in your body.
For your first DWI, you could face heavy fines, license suspension, or even jail time of up to one year.
DUIs and DWIs can both raise your
car insurance
rates, too. Thankfully, the Jerry
app is designed to help you combat this problem quickly and easily. Just download the app and answer some quick questions to see the best quotes in a curated list—no matter what charges you have on your record.
