In Washington state, driving under the influence of cannabis is serious. A blood THC level of five nanograms or more within two hours of driving creates a presumption of impairment for adults over twenty-one. Underage drivers face stricter rules with any detectable THC leading to charges. Law enforcement uses roadside sobriety tests and drug recognition experts to spot impairment, looking beyond blood levels to real-world behavior. The smell of weed alone wont get you pulled over, but actively smoking while driving is always illegal. Cannabis can be stored in your vehicle if its in the original sealed container, kept out of reach and view. Penalties for a cannabis DUI include fines up to five thousand dollars, license suspension, and more. Stay safe by waiting until youre clear-headed before driving.
