Since THC stays in your system a lot longer, there would be no way for them to test what your level is at the point you were contacted.

Lawyers would fight that the person had not smoked anything in days, that it was still in there system but they were not impaired.

I don't want to share the roads any more then we already do with people who are impaired from this. The DUI laws are already not enforced enough. There is no way that they will be able to make a drastic enough change to make people stop driving impaired.
In Illinois you do not have to show the amount just that it was in their system. This can be done with a urine test. Since it can be there for up to 30 days man duis would soar.
