    Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana in Colorado

    Colorado is one of the few states in the nation that has legalized recreational marijuana in some circumstances. In particular, adults 21 years of age or older can legally possess less than one ounce of recreational marijuana, only face an infraction if carrying up to two ounces, and can cultivate up to six plants on their own private property without penalty. Despite these lenient laws on marijuana usage, it is still illegal to drive while under the influence or impaired by marijuana in Colorado.

    Police officers are free to use their own discretion when making DUID arrests; if the officer believes you have recently used marijuana and it is now impairing your ability to drive safely, they can make a legal arrest. At the station, you will be told to take a blood test after a warrant has been created. If you have more than 5 nanograms of THC in your blood, which is essentially any amount of THC that can be detected in a blood test, you can be charged with a DUI.

    If convicted, your penalties will be identical to those found in a DUI case for a driver found to be driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level above 0.08 but below 0.15.

    Transporting Marijuana Legally in Colorado

    Taking recreational marijuana from one location in Colorado to another follows the same rules as possession. If you have more than one ounce of marijuana in your car or vehicle, it is an infraction; more than two, it is a misdemeanor.

    Colorado also applies the same open container laws to marijuana as it does to alcohol, making it illegal for you to transport an open container of marijuana in any place other than the trunk of your vehicle. Medical marijuana with a valid prescription does not provide any legal protection and still must follow these guidelines.
