Can you get a DUI for driving high in Montana?
I know that weed is legal in Montana now, and that makes me wonder what happens if you get caught driving while high. Do you get a DUI or is there a different charge?

Yes, you can get a DUI if you’re caught driving high in
Montana
. DUIs can apply to *any mind-altering substances—not just alcohol—so driving under the influence of marijuana has the same consequences as drunk driving.However, one main difference between drunk driving and high driving is that high driving is harder to detect. While drunk people tend to give themselves away with slurred words, the scent of alcohol, or impaired coordination, you may be asked to take a drug test if there isn’t adequate evidence at the scene.
While you’re learning more about high driving, it’s a good idea to learn how to save on your
car insurance
—especially if you’ve added a DUI charge to your driving record. Check out the Jerry
app, where you can choose a new policy out of customized quotes from over 50 top insurance companies. With or without a DUI, the average user saves $887 per year!
