If you want to have a proverbial "get out of jail card," then obtain the state-issued Medical Marijuana card. Absent that, you can be stopped and may find yourself cited.
Thanks for this advice, I'll definitely take a look at that.

As for DUI, that will depend upon the circumstances. One of the exceptions to the observed driving rule is if the officer can articulate a reasonable belief that you had been driving UI and "may cause injury to himself or herself or damage property unless immediately arrested." I'd be quite reluctant to leave a stoned driver alone in a vehicle.
This makes sense from a law and public safety standpoint. Apparently the officer trusted me enough to leave me be. Having never been arrested and being a young, working college student most likely helped a ton here. Actually he noticed my sweatshirt and brought it up to ask me if I really went to college there (red with white letters). Also my politeness (if I do say so myself). He was a good guy.
