Medical marijuana is legal in Oklahoma, which has led to an increase in consumption across the state. Despite the legality of consuming marijuana for approved medical purposes, many users are unfamiliar with the laws regarding drug consumption and driving. Because of this, many drivers who understand that drinking and driving will lead to a DUI do not realize that they can be charged for driving while high.
Correctional officers facing drug charges
Two former correctional officers were recently arrested for allegedly taking part in drug activities at their place of work. The husband and wife duo are expected to have multiple drug charges filed against them, including charges for trafficking a controlled substance. It is unclear how law enforcement were first made aware of the apparent drug activity.
