The Supreme Court of Ohio has affirmed the conviction of a Lorain County man who injured a state trooper directing traffic while he was driving under the influence of marijuana. The case is the latest in the “Featured Decision” video series.

The 6-1 decision asserts that the injury accident was a foreseeable consequence of the driver operating a motor vehicle with over six times the legal limit of marijuana metabolites in his system. Metabolites result from the breakdown of THC, the active ingredient in cannabis that causes a high. The evidence was sufficient to support his conviction of aggravated vehicular assault, the Court ruled.
