Cannabis DUI in Washington: What You Need to Know

Washington states DUI laws for cannabis are complex, with different rules for adults and minors. THC levels of five nanograms per milliliter or higher within two hours of driving can lead to charges for adults, while underage drivers face penalties for any THC present. Cannabis impairment can slow reaction times, distort perception, and hinder coordination, making roads dangerous. Troopers use roadside sobriety tests and drug recognition experts to assess impairment. Legally storing cannabis in a sealed container out of sight and reach is allowed, but smoking while driving is always illegal. Penalties for DUI can include fines up to five thousand dollars, license suspension, and more.
