Why not just do the same type, with a bit of tweaking, field sobriety test as they do on DWI's? If someone smoked a joint but has all of their faculties, enough to pass a field test, then so be it. If they look like they can't keep their eyes open or are dizzy then they can video them for proof. I believe almost every cop car has video now. Now if the driver just has the munchies but can still function, then directions to the nearest Taco Bell are in order ..
