DWI: DRUGS
Driving While Intoxicated is one
of the most prosecuted crimes in the State of Texas. Most people think that you can only be
charged with DWI if you have been drinking alcohol. Well, those people are wrong. You can actually be charged with DWI if you
are intoxicated on literally any substance, including, marijuana, ecstasy,
mushrooms, mescaline, Adderall, cocaine, LSD, meth, amphetamines, caffeine, tree
bark (yes, tree bark a.k.a. DMT), Molly, MDMA, ephedrine, mescaline, Ritalin,
acid, and many, many more.
But wait, how can I be arrested
for DWI if I don’t have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or higher? A person can be convicted of DWI if he has a
BAC of over .08, he has experienced the normal loss or his mental faculties, or
he has experienced the normal loss of his physical facilities.
At the moment, most officers do
not have the knowledge, experience, and skill to determine whether someone is
intoxicated on a drug, which is why if the police determine something has you intoxicated
and they have ruled out alcohol, but they cannot determine exactly what messed
you up, you will be arrested and taken to jail to meet with a drug recognition “expert,”
or “DREs,” and have your blood drawn.
The good news is that these drug recognition “experts” are not really
experts. They went to a two week class,
and believe they are qualified to be doctors. At best, drug recognition “experts” are drug
recognition “evaluators,” “eye witnesses,” “estimators,” and paper pushers. These people are not doctors, and if I have
anything to do with it, the judge will not allow the DREs to be called experts
at your trial.
Think about this. What happens when people smoke
marijuana? They are cautious. Many actually become safer drivers. What happens people take Adderall, or other “study
drugs?” The get focus of a puma and
reaction speeds of a cheetah. Science
has even showed that the use of amphetamines improves driving abilities.
At the end of the day, DWI’s are
serious business that can seriously affect your life. You need a Texas Drug DWI Trial Lawyer that
focuses his practice on drug crimes and drug DWIs. Trust me, the cost of hiring
the wrong DWI drug lawyer will way outweigh the cost of hiring the right DWI
drug lawyer.
