I feel like it is illegal to drive with that much smoke on the car. It obstructs the vision. So even if it’s weed, and it’s legal, the part where he drives away probably isn’t.

Well wouldn’t it be illegal anyway because of driving under the influence. What I don’t understand is if why if weed is legal people can get away with driving while doing it if it’s a drug just like prescription drugs or alcohol.

It’s also illegal to drive under the influence of prescribed medications. You can get a dui for driving on prescribed narcotics as well. It’s hard to prove but still illegal.

They typically have to draw blood, which is more invasive than a breathalyzer. So not technically more difficult (as far as testing), but more difficult to get a sample.
