A 30-year-old uses cannabis at a friend's home. He feels relaxed but "fine" and wants to drive home. Which statement about New York law is correct?
Correct answer: He can be charged with a crime if cannabis impairs his ability to drive
Why
New York has separate offenses for driving while impaired by a drug (DWAI-Drug) and for driving while impaired by the combined influence of alcohol and drugs (DWAI-Combination). A first offense of either one is a misdemeanor, with penalties similar to those for DWI. Drugs, including cannabis, can harm your reflexes, judgment, vision and alertness. Do not smoke, vape or eat cannabis products before you drive.
