I guess they're going to have to come up with something new. I wonder if a cheek swab would be able to tell if the person has been recently smoking.
I took a cheek swab like marijuana test while high once. So not likely.
I don't think there is a reliable way to tell, they could just write a DUI ticket and you'd have to show up to court to fight it. They do similar things for driving while tired or under the effects of medication.
In other news, great for washington state (and colorado). I'm real curious to see how this plays out. The Obama administration has had a horrible record in interfering with state rights in Marijuana use, so I'm not expecting anything good. If this goes to the Supreme court, ironically the conservative judges are far more likely to uphold the marijuana laws based on the 10th amendment, although I wouldn't be surprised by a unanimous decision for Washington and Colorado either.
Also the tax isn't that bad, less than what they tax tobacco.
