Minnesota Department of Public Safety reminds people about cannabis driving laws 

With the legalization of cannabis products happening on August 1, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety wants to remind drivers that driving high is still a DWI. 

MN State Patrol Chief Col. Matt Langersaid that “just like with alcohol, anyone opting to consume cannabis needs to plan a safe and sober ride.” 

The MDPS reminds drivers that its illegal for drivers or passengers to open any cannabis packaging and use marijuana or consume other cannabis products while driving. Having an unsealed container of marijuana, and driving while impaired by cannabis products are also illegal.

Violating any of those rules can lead to you being charged with a DWI among other traffic offenses.
