California Vehicle Code 23152(a) VC criminalizes driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. Proving that you're DUI alcohol is definitely the easiest for the prosecution. Proving that you're DUI drugs (DUID) becomes more difficult. Proving that you're DUI marijuana or "dope driving" is perhaps the most challenging. The primary ingredient in marijuana (also commonly referred to as pot, bud, weed, grass, dope, ganja, and Mary Jane) is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or "THC".
