Understanding Drugged Driving DUI Charges In Georgia

Unlike alcohol-related DUIs, drug-related cases involve different testing methods and require legal insight specific to substance-related impairments. These cases are complex and small mistakes in how law enforcement handles them can drastically affect outcomes. 

E.J. Boswell Law Office has over 20 years of legal experience handling criminal defense cases across Georgia. Based in Greensboro, I, attorney E.J. Boswell, have built strong relationships in Greene County and have earned a reputation for being a relentless advocate for my clients. 

What Is A Drugged Driving DUI In Georgia?

You can be charged with a DUI if any substance, legal or illegal, impairs your ability to drive in Georgia. This includes: 

  • Illegal drugs like marijuana, methamphetamine or cocaine 
  • Prescription medications such as painkillers or anxiety drugs 
  • Over-the-counter medications that may cause drowsiness or slowed reaction times 

Law enforcement uses a mix of field sobriety tests, chemical analysis (blood or urine) and officer observations to determine impairment. 

DUI Defense Process Overview

After being charged, expect the following: 

  • Arrest and booking 
  • Court appearance and bail hearing 
  • Evidence review and plea negotiations 
  • Trial or sentencing 

As your attorney, I can challenge: 

  • The basis for the traffic stop 
  • The accuracy of drug tests 
  • The relevance of prescribed medications 

Immediate steps to take if arrested for drugged driving: 

  • Remain silent 
  • Ask to speak with an attorney. 
  • Preserve all medical documentation. 
  • Avoid discussing the case on social media 

You should never speak with police or prosecutors without a lawyer present.
