What are the Drug DUI Laws in Arizona

Under Arizona Law (A.R.S. 28-1381(a)(1) and A.R.S. 28-1381 (a)(3)), you can receive a DUI for operating a vehicle under the influence of any intoxicating drug or with any drug (or it’s metabolite) in your system. 

In the past, all the prosecution had to do was prove you had marijuana in your system for the DUI conviction to succeed. Now, they must also prove you were impaired to the slightest degree by active THC in your system. 

These Arizona drug laws are complex and may cause frustration when trying to defend your case. That’s why Charity Clark and our law team can help you make sense of all the laws and regulations surrounding your marijuana DUI charge. We can provide guidance as we prepare for your trial using years of case knowledge and experience.

What are the Penalties for Marijuana DUIs in Arizona

A first-time marijuana DUI is a class 1 felony in Arizona. The penalties you face for a marijuana DUI depend on certain factors of the crime itself, but here are some common ones in Phoenix: 

  • Up to 6 months in jail (10 days is more likely for first time offenders)
  • Up to $2,000 in fines and fees
  • Probation after completing jail time
  • 90 day license suspension 
  • Interlock device inside your vehicle 

A charge of this nature will appear on your criminal record, and may also cause higher insurance premiums moving forward. 

These penalties can create severe barriers to your everyday life. At Charity Clark Law, we know how disruptive a DUI charge can be, so we create a unique defense strategy to fight these accusations.

How We Defend a Marijuana DUI Charge in Arizona

Marijuana DUIs are complex cases that require a precise defense strategy. Charity Clark and our law team take an in-depth look at your specific circumstance and craft a sound argument with every important detail. 

While we build each strategy around the aspects of your case, some techniques we can implement include: 

  • No probable cause for the arrest
  • Possessing prescription marijuana under specific circumstances
  • Weren’t actually driving or in physical control of the vehicle
  • Unreliable field sobriety tests 
  • Lack of evidence of actual impairment
  • Argue the THC found in bloodstream or urine
  • Violation of rights 

Defending a DUI can take various unexpected turns, but Charity Clark can help you navigate each one with ease. Our team is dedicated to fighting for you and answering any questions you may have during this difficult time.
