Man this is total bullshit:

If you're driving with over 5ng/mL of THC in your blood then you get a DUI. Thing is, for daily smokers, your THC may never go BELOW 5ng/mL. Meaning that you are legally DUI every time you get in the car, even if you haven't smoked for 12 hours!!
This is really a blow to medical MJ and MJ in general! Pretty fucked up if you ask me!
There's a lot of debate about how quickly plasma THC levels drop, but from what I've read it's very possible for regular smokers to have high THC levels (>5ng/ML) several hours after smoking. The fact is it is probably highly variable for different individuals.
I would NEVER let a fuckin' cop give me a blood test. How in the fuck would they even know I was high?!?! As long as you don't smell like it then they have no way of establishing a suspicion. It's not like booze where people obviously reak and are obviously impaired!! Shit, I smoke enough that nobody can tell I'm high 15 minutes after I smoke a joint. Once the smell wears off there's no way an officer would be able to tell that I'd been smoking.
This just seems like it's going to cause a whole shitload of problems!
