What's difficult about how to handle the situation of, "it's not illegal, do nothing"?

Maybe they're saying that they're unsure how to handle potential DUI? Honestly, this article is so poorly written that we can't tell whether they're being whiny or making a legitimate point.

In the UK it's illegal to have more than 2 micrograms of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol per liter of blood whilst driving. They test at the road side and then do a blood test if that's positive just like they would for alcohol.

I do think that driving while smoking (or being under the influence of weed) is kind of a difficult one. Is there a law similar to alcohol that says you can smoke a certain amount? Or is one joint already too much? I can imagine that this would lead to some difficulties.

They need a device like a blood glucose tester. Thc only stays in your blood for a few hours.
