Nevada Supreme Court Rejects Right To Drive High
CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The Nevada Supreme Court has rejected
an appeal by a California woman who claims the state’s marijuana
law is unconstitutional because it interferes with her right to
travel.
The Las Vegas Sun reported Tuesday that the Supreme Court ruled
against Shira Monet Garfinkel.
She was contesting her conviction for driving in northern Nevada
with marijuana in her blood.
The court said driving isn’t a constitutional right, and that
Garfinkel cannot operate her vehicle with marijuana in her blood or
urine.
Garfinkel argued she is a legal user of marijuana under
California law, and should be allowed to travel in Nevada while
high.
Nevada allows medical marijuana users to carry limited amounts
of the drug.
