Impairment for a marijuana DUI in Mississippi is generally described as a driver’s mental or physical faculties being noticeably affected by recent marijuana use, to the extent that safe operation of a vehicle is impaired. Law enforcement relies on officer observations, performance on field sobriety tasks, and sometimes chemical testing to support allegations of impairment. The analysis looks at coordination, behavior, speech, and other signs at the time of the stop to determine whether impairment may have been present and whether those signs are consistent with intoxication rather than other factors. Because marijuana affects individuals differently and metabolites may be present long after psychoactive effects subside, courts often consider the totality of circumstances rather than a single numeric threshold. The timing of testing, officer notes, video evidence, and medical or prescription history can all affect whether observable signs actually indicate impairment. Gathering a complete factual record helps evaluate whether impairment was meaningfully established in your Hollandale case and what defenses may be appropriate.
