DUI - MARIJUANA LAW STRUCK DOWN BY CLARK & TOWNE

O.C.G.A. ยง40-6-391 (a)(6) makes it illegal to drive with any amount of an illegal drug in your blood or urine or with any amounts of metabolites of an illegal drug in your blood or urine, as long as that drug is NOT MARIJUANA.  The Georgia Supreme Court in Love v. State, a case argued and won by our firm in 1999, declared this subsection unconstitutional.  All prosecutions for DUI - marijuana must now be brought under subsection (a)(2), which requires the government to prove that the driver was incapable of driving safely due to marijuana use.  Prosecutions for DUI-cocaine or other illegal street drugs are routinely brought under this section.
