Your Medical Marijuana Card is NOT a Defense to Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Pennsylvania or Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in New Jersey
Recently, a client was surprised to learn that his medical marijuana card didn’t serve as a legal defense to his DUI charge in Pennsylvania. He, like a lot of my clients, believed that driving while impaired, under the influence, or while intoxicated only applied illegal drugs such as crack cocaine, PCP, heroine or some other non proscribed narcotic drug.
