Your doctor prescribes a new medicine. After a dose, you feel slow and drowsy. You have had no alcohol. Can you be arrested for DUII if you drive?
Correct answer: Yes; Oregon's DUII law covers any substance that impairs your ability to drive
Why
Alcohol is the most common cause of impaired driving, but cannabis and many medicines also slow reaction time and judgment. If a medicine makes you drowsy or slow, do not drive, even with a valid prescription. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about side effects, and find other transportation until you know how a new medicine affects you. Alcohol and cannabis used together can reduce your ability to drive even more.
