SEATTLE — Recreational marijuana use has been legal in Washington state for a year, but you don’t have to tell that to law enforcement officers — they already know.
Officer Mike Lewis is a Drug Recognition Expert with the Seattle Police Department. He recently told KIRO 7 Reporter Amy Clancy that more drivers are driving high than ever before. As part of the SPD’s DUI Squad, Lewis looks not only for drunken drivers, but for those under the influence all drugs, including the Evergreen state’s newly-legal “green.”
