“Well, that’s what I was about to ask you next, given the fact that California, marijuana is legal for, obviously, personal use. But how easy is that to pick up a DUI? I guess that’s the real easy question. How easy is that to pick up a DUI with legal marijuana use?”
Stuart Kirchick – Criminal Defense Attorney – Santa Clara County, CA
“Yeah, very easy because it has a pretty strong scent, assuming someone hasn’t ingested a gummy. But if the cops do a typical car stop with a traffic code violation, vehicle code violation, not using a blinker or whatever, probable cause to make a stop for a traffic infraction and smells odor of marijuana, you’re going to likely be arrested for DUI, based on marijuana.”
