Understanding Cannabis-Impaired Driving Charges

Cannabis DUI investigations may involve allegations relating to impairment caused by cannabis or other drugs. Unlike alcohol-related cases, these investigations may involve different forms of evidence and roadside procedures.

Cases may involve:

  • police observations
  • roadside evaluations
  • drug recognition procedures
  • blood or bodily fluid testing
  • statements made during the investigation
  • driving behaviour evidence

Drug-impaired driving cases are often highly technical and may involve legal issues related to roadside procedures, police conduct, disclosure of evidence, and Charter rights protections.

Because every case depends on its own facts and surrounding circumstances, careful review of the evidence may become important in understanding possible defence strategies.
