Napa, CA DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

First, it sounds like you have a potentially good case to defend. At this time there is no "per se" law for marijuana, unlike alcohol which has a per se law. What that means is, there is no law that says that at a certain level of thc in your system, you are deemed under the influence. For alcohol, there is a .08 BAC per saw law (ie. if it is found that you had a .08 BAC or higher at the time of driving, then you are guilty of VC 23152b). Did they do a blood test to determine any drugs in your system? Even if so, many counties do not test for quantity, only test for presence. Further, if thc is found in your blood, it can be difficult for the prosecutor to establish beyond a reasonable doubt when you actually consumed marijuana, and whether you were actually under the influence at the time of driving. That being said, it is possible to get arrested for suspicion of being under the influence of marijuana, and possible to be convicted of a DUI.
