One of the two levels of DUI in Colorado, covering DUI alcohol, DWAI alcohol, DUI with THC, and DWAI with THC.
“So when you're looking at DUIs, there are two levels now in Colorado: there are the misdemeanor DUIs and then there's felony level DUIs.”
“For a misdemeanor DUI, that can be anything from you actually having alcohol or THC, so marijuana, in your system. You can even get a DUI for having prescribed medication. So a lot of people think hey, if I'm taking my prescriptions even if you're taking them the way you're supposed to be, you can't get a DUI. The problem is that's not completely true.”
“So, misdemeanor world you have DUI alcohol, DWAI alcohol, and then you have DUI with THC, that five nanograms, and technically the district attorneys can also file charges for you to have a DWAI for THC if it's under the five nanograms. Now that is a little bit of a stronger case for us because we can combat that a little bit with research that's come out from Boston, Massachusetts and a couple of other places. But those are what you're looking at for misdemeanor levels.”
“So when you're looking at DUIs, there are two levels now in Colorado: there are the misdemeanor DUIs and then there's felony level DUIs.”
