The test they use will measure the THC-COOH active in the bloodstream. It's different than the THC-A that shows up for a month on drug tests. 5 nanograms per ML is the standard that they are going for.

I looked at some studies recently. There is a huge variance between individuals on THC tolerance. Some can be way past 5 ng and be straight as an arrow.

Wonder if they do a field sobriety test first or just smell smoke and haul you to draw blood.

Will be interesting how this mess shakes out. But given the current state of our leadership, I have no doubt that it will be really screwed up.
