Future Challenges/Impaired Driving
State Position/DATA
• Q: What about DUIDs? Are more peoplesmoking and driving because of legalization?
• 1) Here’s what we know: Colorado State Patrol statistics show that, throughNovember 2014, 611 of a total of 5,076 (12%) of impaired-driving citationswere issued for marijuana-only citations.
• This will form the baseline for future measurements, as this was the first
year that marijuana-related citations were compiled separately from allother DUI/DUID citations. That means we can’t compare these numbers tothose of previous years.
• Additionally, these data only reflect citations issued by CSP, not by other lawenforcement agencies throughout the state.

Driving Under Influence
Note: Citation type is classified according to the trooper’s impressions of the reason for impairment. Total Marijuanacitations includemarijuana alone, marijuana plus alcohol, and marijuana plus other drugs.

Current Environment/DUI
C.R.S. 42-4-1301
Driving under the influence/ impaired:
Misdemeanor for a person under the influence (substantially incapable) or impaired (slightest
degree) of alcohol or one or more drugs, or a combination of both alcohol and one or more
drugs to drive a motor vehicle.
Challenges:
• DUI statute includes all impairing substances: Alcohol, Cannabis, Narcotics, Toxic Vapors etc.
•
No incentive for more investigation once an impairment (Alcohol) is established• DUID?
• Data? Pre Marijuana Legalization, Colorado State Patrol Data Efforts
• Poly drug use in drivers (Alcohol-Cannabis?) 4ng THC, .04 BAC?
-
8/18/2019 CDOT's Perspective On Ending Marijuana Prohibition in Colorado
25/57
Current Environment/Preliminary Testing
Preliminary Testing:
• Lawful contact with a person who has been driving a vehicle, suspects person was driving
under the influence or while impaired by alcohol.
• Challenges:
• Preliminary Testing at roadside is limited to alcohol testing by statute.
• Technology exists, statute prohibited
-
8/18/2019 CDOT's Perspective On Ending Marijuana Prohibition in Colorado
26/57
Current Environment/Express Consent
Express Consent (Drugs):
• Probable cause to believe a person has been driving a motor vehicle under the
influence/impaired by drugs the person has given their express consent to submit to a test of
their blood to determine the drug content.
Challenges:
• Drivers can refuse
• 31% of Department of Revenue Express Consent hearings in 2014 were refusal based (7,300)
• Refusing drivers can reinstate after 2 months of no driving and 2 years ignition interlock
• Consenting drivers can be revoked for exceeding Alcohol level (.08 BAC) not for exceeding
THC level (.5ng)

Current Environment/Peace Officer Training
Peace Officer Training:
Peace Officer’s receive 24hrs of SFST and DUI Enforcement training in basic academy training.
Peace Officer Training Administered by CDOT-Highway Safety Office:
• SFST Updates
• ARIDE
•
DRE-NHTSA
2014 Funds from Colorado Chiefs-Colorado Department of Law Marijuana Taxes $510,000

Roadsides and MJ
• The Challenge:
– None of the original validation studiesinvolved marijuana.
– 1980s studies for validation of alcoholimpairment at .100
• How do we address it?
– New validation studies? – Green labs?

Colorado Impaired Driving MJ Summary
• One statute for DUI (alcohol/drugs)
• Preliminary testing devices exist but, cannot be used under current statute
• Arrestee can refuse chemical testing (+30%)
• All drivers in fatalities not tested (+40%)
• Law Enforcement:
Academy training is 24hrs specific to DUI alcohol involved
SFST’s were validated in 1980’s for impairment at .100 Blood Alcohol Concentration
CDOT’s goal of 300 Drug Recognition Experts would be less than 2% of Colorado Law
Enforcement Population
• Marijuana user community beliefs to marijuana and driving:
Driving under the influence of marijuana is safer than alcohol
Are less to get a DUI for being under the influence of marijuana
Don’t believe marijuana impairs driving

• Nearly a quarter of marijuana users have driven a motor vehicle
after consuming
• Those who drove within 2 hours of consuming marijuana did so,on average, 17 times a month
• One third of respondents agreed that it’s safer to drive under theinfluence of marijuana than alcohol
• If used marijuana in past year, half as likely to think a personcould get a DUI an hour after consuming as those who had never
used

NHTSA Drug and Alcohol Crash Risk Study
• Largest such study conducted to assess the comparative risk of drunk and drugged driving.
• 20 months in Virginia Beach, Va.
• Drivers were tested for a wide range of drugs, but marijuana was the only drug found in large
enough numbers for statistically significant findings.
• Drivers at alcohol level of 0.08 percent, were about four times (400%) more likely to crash
than sober drivers.
• Marijuana users were about 25 percent more likely to be involved in a crash than drivers with
no evidence of marijuana use.
• Other factors – such as age and gender – appear to account for the increased crash risk
among marijuana users.• Ongoing research will refine our understanding of when marijuana use by drivers increases the
risk of crashing.

Drive High, Get A DUI Creative
Concept Research told us that our targetaudience would not respond well to
finger-pointing or scare tactics, sowe decided to use humor toeducate. The approach took aneutral stance; not condoning or judging.
The hyper-focus exhibited by thecharacters in our spots is ametaphor for impairment whendriving high.
In a 30-second TV spot you can
only have one message and need tokeep it simple: Drive High, Get aDUI.https://www.codot.gov/safety/alcohol-and-impaired-driving/druggeddriving

4/20 & The Cannabis Cup
The 5th Annual Cannabis Cup in Denverattracted 37,000 marijuana enthusiasts
from around the world during the

In an effort to reach our audience in a
creative way, we made custom labels

about marijuana laws and attached
them to thousands of bags of Cheetosand Goldfish.
Overall responses from attendees were
extremely positive. People immediately
noticed the label on the front and
shared pictures of it via social media.
