  Arizona can’t suspend someone’s driver’s license because they have THC in their bloodstream unless they are actually impaired while behind the wheel, the state Court of Appeals ruled, upholding a provision in a marijuana legalization law that voters passed in 2020.

Problem is, we don't have a real good, standardized way to test how impaired someone is on Marijuana like we do for alcohol. There's the field sobriety test, but marijuana is going to present differently for a test that's designed to test alcohol usage. At least for alcohol there's a baseline blood alcohol level that we can use, and is easily tested via breath.
