In Colorado, a person can be charged with a DUID if they are found to be operating a motor vehicle while impaired by drugs to the slightest degree. This includes prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, marijuana, and illicit substances. The critical factor is whether the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle is significantly affected, regardless of whether the substance is legally obtained or prescribed.
