More details to this question:
They didn't take my license away or give me a temporary one after released from jail. I've spoken with a few lawyers and everyone says something different. Do I need to call the DMV?

If you are convicted of DUI, your license will be suspended. With a DUI drugs there is no reason for you to get convicted. Lawyer up

You should call the DMV just to be safe, because the DMV wouldn't automatically know whether alcohol was involved or not, and if no hearing is requested you risk losing by default. As for the court, yes your license will be suspended if you are convicted of Marijuana DUI. You should hire a DUI specialist to represent you in court and at the DMV.
