Can you get a DUI for driving high in Colorado?
Since weed is legal in Colorado, it’s probably a lot harder to tell if someone is driving high. Is the charge for driving drunk the same as the charge for driving high?

Yes, you can get a DUI if you’re caught driving high in
Colorado
. In the state, being high is determined by testing the THC concentration in your blood. If you have more than five nanograms of delta-9 THC per milliliter of whole blood, you can be prosecuted for a DUI.However, you’re right that it’s often harder for law enforcement to tell when someone is driving high versus driving while drunk. If you’re caught with an open container of a marijuana product, however, you can be charged with a traffic offense.
Any type of traffic offense can raise your
car insurance
premiums, so it’s best to avoid illegal activity. If you do get charged, the Jerry
app can help you find a new policy that can keep your rates affordable. The average Jerry user saves $887 per year!
