Reply to comment by Low-Public-9948 in Lawmaker takes drug test to prove Pennsylvania DUI laws unfair by victorix58

A blood test will show significantly higher levels if you just smoked a month ago vs. just smoked an hour ago. Like 50nanograms per ml vs. 5ng/ml.

Blood tests are absolutely standard in DUI investigations. They just don't care the level of the results in marijuana right now. They should, if we are seeking to punish actual impairment.

So everyone suspected of driving under the influence has to submit to a blood test?

You dont have to, but they will suspend your license if you dont. they will still prosecute you as well.

Imagine for a second that you don’t intake THC, in any way, ever. One day you get pulled over and are suspected driving impaired. Seems like a flawed system to me.
