Can you get a DUI for driving high in Georgia?
I don’t get how driving high is caught or punished by the police. What happens if you get caught driving while high in Georgia?

You can get a Marijuana DUI for driving high in
Georgia
. This charge, which is more commonly referred to as drugged driving, can be invoked for more than a month after the last time you used marijuana. Since marijuana remains in your system for approximately 30 days, you’ll still test positive.Your first offense will be charged as a misdemeanor, and typically includes consequences such as a fine of up to $1,000 and at least 24 hours in jail. You may also be required to enroll in a
risk reduction program
, perform community service, and/or be placed on probation.Charged like DUIs will increase your insurance rates, too. Check out the

quotes in minutes—regardless of your record. Even without a spotless driving record, the average user saves $887 per year!
