Quick and simple solution: If you fail a field sobriety test and piss hot for marijuana, you get a driving while impaired/intoxicated regardless of whether you were actively stoned. Want to use drugs? Fine - you will held to a higher level of accountability if wanting to also operate a motor vehicle.
