The 24-year-old son of former vice President Al Gore has been arrested for drug possession after being stopped for speeding in his hybrid Toyota Prius.

Al Gore III - whose father is a leading advocate of policies to fight global warming -- was driving his environmentally friendly car at about 160 km/h on a freeway south of Los Angeles when he was pulled over by an Orange County sheriff's deputy about 2.15am today.

The deputy smelled marijuana and searched the car, said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.

The search turned up a small amount of marijuana, along with prescription drugs including Valium, Xanax, Vicodin, Adderall and Soma. There were no prescriptions found, he said.

Gore was arrested on suspicion of drug possession and booked into the Inmate Reception Centre in Santa Ana, about 55 km south of Los Angeles, on $US20,000 ($A23,500) bail.

Although he quickly identified himself as the son of the former vice president, Amormino said Gore received no special privileges.

Gore made bail and was released at 2pm, Amormino said. He will receive notice of a court date within 30 days.

The youngest child and only son of the former vice president, Gore has had previous brushes with the law. He was arrested in 2003 for marijuana possession and in 2002 for suspected drunken-driving.

In 1989, aged six, Gore almost died when he was hit by a car, and required extensive surgery and physical therapy.

A spokesman for the elder Gore said he was travelling and could not immediately be reached for comment.

The one-time presidential candidate is one of the organisers of the Live Earth concerts taking place around the world on July 7. The concerts are designed to raise awareness of global warming.
