So, drugged driving is a DWI offense in Arkansas. A conviction can carry severe penalties such as jail time, fines and license suspensions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drugged Driving Charges
There are many questions we get about drugged driving charges. Below are answers to some common ones:
How is impairment proven in a drugged driving case?
Prosecutors may use various types of evidence to try to prove drug-impaired driving, including:
- Drug test results (such as blood or urine tests)
- Officer observations
- Objects found in a person’s car during a search
- Eyewitness testimony
There may be grounds to contest the accuracy of such evidence or the legality of how it was obtained. Our lawyer can help explore whether such defense avenues are available in your case.
Can I refuse a drug test if arrested for drugged driving?
While you could refuse a drug test, doing so has consequences. This is due to Arkansas’s implied consent law. Under it, such a refusal triggers an automatic license suspension, with the length depending on whether you have prior offenses on your record.
Is a marijuana DWI less severe than other drugged driving offenses?
No, not in Arkansas. The state does not differentiate by the type of controlled substance involved when it comes to the severity of DWI charges and drugged driving penalties. So, marijuana-related accusations are, generally speaking, just as serious as other DWI drug allegations.
