Drug DUI in San Diego
You can be charged with DUI in California for driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana, prescription medication, or illegal substances. Unlike alcohol, there is no simple legal limit, so these cases often rely on officer observations and drug-recognition evaluations that can be challenged.
Blood testing, the timing of impairment, and the reliability of a drug-recognition expert are all areas Crudo Law examines closely to defend a drug DUI charge.
