At Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, we track these changes meticulously to keep you on the front lines of legal knowledge.

Driving laws are clear when it comes to alcohol; however, with marijuana, the legal system is still grappling with how to define and detect impairment. It's crucial to be informed of your rights, the changes in state-specific laws, and the best practices if you're navigating these circumstances.

Finding an objective measure of marijuana impairment poses significant challenges, far more so than with alcohol. Differences in individual tolerance, the various ways cannabis can be consumed, and the lack of immediate testing equipment like breathalyzers contribute to this complexity.

Safety is the cornerstone of both DUI laws and marijuana regulations. At Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, we emphasize the need for driver education. Drivers must be aware of their responsibility to not only adhere to safety standards but also to the legal obligations that come with new aspects of cannabis legalization.

Understanding the connection between marijuana use and driving impairment is not just legal it's a matter of public health and safety. That's why we run awareness campaigns emphasizing responsible consumption practices, focusing on the impact poor choices can have at an individual and community level.
