Ketamine DUI is treated similarly to other forms of DUID or DUI cases in court. Ketamine is a prescription medicine, but it’s often used casually or recreationally as a club drug. If you’re caught under the influence while driving, and without a prescription, a conviction under California Vehicle Code 23152 is imminent. Even with a prescription, defendants can still be convicted due to the impairment caused by Ketamine while driving.

Ketamine DUI is usually filed as a misdemeanor, and those found guilty can face:

  • A maximum of six months in jail
  • Monetary fines of a minimum of $390
  • Probation of 3-5 years
  • Driver’s license suspension for up to six months
  • California DUI school for a minimum of three months

Felony Charges apply for:

  • 4th time Ketamine DUI offenders
  • Defendants with a prior felony DUI offense

Quick Facts On Ketamine

  • Aliases for Ketamine include Vitamin K, K or Special K
  • It is a controlled substance
  • The drug was established in 1962, and is used medically as a anesthetic
  • Ketamine was often used for soldiers’ treatment during the Vietnam War
  • The drug has psychedelic effects on adults, which produce a dazed state of mind
  • It’s a popular date rape drug

There are several other drugs that can result in a DUI, including Codeine, Heroin, Crystal Meth, and Ambien. Those on prescription medications are especially susceptible and rarely know that they are not following the law.

The following is a fictional story of a Ketamine DUI arrest that could be used as an example:

Rachel and her friends are at the beach and decide to take Ketamine. They were planning to be there for several hours, but two hours after Rachel took her Ketamine, her father called her and told her to come home immediately as there has been an emergency. Rachel gets in her car and tries to drive 15 miles to her home, but is quickly pulled over for driving under the influence. The police officer does not get a reading on his breathalyzer, but he notes several signs of intoxication. He arrests her for DUI and later draws blood to be sent to a lab and analyzed.

    Mr. Collins is highly recommended. He really takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. He went above and beyond on helping me out with an issue that was never my fault.
    Erik
    "Glad I had Randy to guide me through it."
    I had the unfortunate experience of being too drunk one night in DTF which led to a Drunk in Public charge. I was able to hire Randy after looking online for a good lawyer. I ended up paying about $3,500 for his services and he got the case dismissed. It was an easy process. It was my first time getting in trouble with the law, and I am glad I had Randy and Chris there to guide me through.
    Juan
    "They are such a great team to work with."
    I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

    "In life you need a good mechanic, a good Doctor, and a Super Lawyer."

    There’s no words to describe Mr. Collins, not just as an attorney but a Super and Great Human Being. He has been an “Angel” and “Life Saver” for one of my family members.

    By Profession, I’m a Radio and TV Host, and I’ve interviewed and talked to quite a few in this Profession, and trust me when I say, that I’m so impressed with Mr. Collins and in today’s modern times it’s hard to find someone that works so hard, cares, and makes things happen!!!

    In life you need a good mechanic, a good Doctor, and a Super Lawyer. Trust him, believe in him and you become one of the “Winners” by hitting “Jackpot” with your legal needs:)
