Older Brothers Second Wife(NOT MY Sis In Law, BY Choice) is a MJ Smoker, states makes her COPD Better, yeah right. She and he moved to CO from CA as could no longer afford CA, and her daughter moved to Denver area to become a teacher. Well that star spangled happy hour snort cost her driver's license for a period of time, was stopped by a patrolman for speeding no less, when opened window to hand license and insurance patrolman noted the aroma emanating asked her if she had recently been doing a doobie she righteously told him she did NOT smoke it while driving she had enjoyed her med MJ at her last stop. DUI came forth.

Idiot went to attorneys to fight it, NO WAY Jose(Jeanne)!!!, so she went to court to note is a Legal For Consumption Script for her, Judge stated she can use at home but under CO Restrictions MOST NOT DRIVE for 12-24 hours after. She had to do Rehab and be tested WEEKLY, Failed for FIVE Weeks(Thought could sneak a joint on occasion) so finally managed three straight tests Clean, got a LEARNERS Permit back, would have to have a Licensed Driver with her at all times when she was behind the wheel for SIX Months, (NOT Random} Screen every four weeks and would return her license. So far she passed, if arrested or ticketed AGAIN for this License is BYE BYE.

Sad part is if she had a good enough lawyer never would have lost license at all. Know of a girl who had 3 DUI's at one time, probably more by now never lost her license for even a day. Parents have tons of money and got the best lawyer and got her out of it for a fine every single time. Lawyer was $10k the first time, $20k the second, not sure after that it wasn't cheap. Meanwhile people who can't afford a good one lose it for like a year and need a lockout in their vehicle for awhile after that, it's so dumb.

Lawyer needs enough pay to grease the right palms. Lots of ways to pay other than hand over cash also.

I quit drinking 32 years ago, thankfully before having any troubles like that. When I said I protected it, that was about speeding tickets too.

UPDATE…..
the RMV called today to let me know that I’ve been reinstated!!! They said I would have had a 1 year suspension from the day I got the OUI. They just had to go in to the system and change it. Thank you all for your advice!! It’s been amazing having the opportunity to be apart of this community with you all.
