NJ Poison Center Advisory: Drugged Driving Doesn't Just Involve Alcohol
Typically, when people hear the phrase “driving under the influence” or “drugged driving” it’s associated with driving under the influence of alcohol. However, driving under the influence can occur anytime someone uses a substance that may impair their ability to drive, including prescription and nonprescription (also called over-the-counter or OTC) medicines, herbal remedies, illegal/street drugs, and recreational drugs including alcohol and cannabis products.
The message about drugged driving is clear — it’s dangerous for you, your passengers, and others on the road. Law enforcement considers driving while under the influence of legal and illegal substances as dangerous and unsafe as driving under the influence of alcohol. The legal consequences are the same.
