Is a ticket the same thing as a DWI?
Asked in Marysville, CA on January 16, 2026 Last answered on January 30, 2026I was stopped for speeding, and when the officer looked in my jacket, he found a methamphetamine pipe. He then searched me and found 14 grams of crystal meth. He gave me a ticket but let me go. Does this count as a DWI?

No that is illegal drug possession. A DUI/DWI is driving after having ingested drugs or alcohol and being under their influence to the extent that you can not drive safely
