Can you get a DUI for driving high in Tennessee?

I’m doing a presentation about Tennessee traffic laws for one of my classes, and I want to make sure I’m getting all of the terms right. Can you still be charged with a DUI if you’re high instead of drunk?

Yes, you can get a DUI for driving high in
Tennessee
! Driving drunk and driving high are nearly identical charges in the state, although the two substances can affect drivers very differently.
If you’re charged with a Marijuana DUI, the potential consequences include:
  • Fines of at least $350
  • License suspension for one year
If you’re convicted of subsequent DUIs, the consequences increase in severity.
