trying to pass a law that any THC/related metabolites in your blood means you are impaired. This ignores the fact that those substances can persist in your blood for up to a month after a single use.

And your third conviction on this sort of DUI would mean permanent revocation of your DL or some such draconian nonsense. Even if you have never been close to clinically impaired while driving. It would essentially criminalize all MMJ use by legitimate patients.
