Explanation
Any drug (whether it’s illegal, prescribed, or available over-the-counter) can affect your ability to drive safely. This includes marijuana, cannabis edibles, and medications that contain alcohol, such as certain cough syrups.
In California, it is illegal to drive under the influence of any substance that impairs your ability to operate a vehicle, not just alcohol. Always read medication labels and talk to your doctor or pharmacist about possible side effects before driving.
Even carrying an open container of alcohol or cannabis in the passenger area of your car is illegal. It must be sealed and stored in the trunk or a place not accessible to passengers.
