When marijuana was legalized for recreational use and retail sales in Nevada, it was illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the effects of controlled substances, including marijuana. It is still illegal to drive while under the influence of marijuana.  Furthermore, it is illegal to smoke marijuana or consume edibles while driving. If law enforcement officers catch you, you can face serious DUI charges. First-time offenders could spend between two days and six months in jail or have to complete between 48 to 96 hours of community service.  Additionally, their driver’s license will be suspended for six months. They could also face fines ranging from $400 to $1,000, plus court costs. Should a driver get involved in a car collision, the consequences are more severe, especially when they cause injuries to others. Not only will they be charged with a criminal offense, but they may also face a car accident injury lawsuit in civil court.
