Eh being wrong 1/25 times is not accurate enough to take people rights away from them imo.

Sure, but also:
By comparison, testing for THC alone “yielded 88 percent specificity, 73 percent sensitivity and 80 percent accuracy.
That's what we use now. So it's a significant improvement. Right now we're taking away rights with an error rate of 1/5. Anything that improves that is good.
Wow, am I misunderstanding the bit about impairment in regular users vs non-daily?
Regular users don't have their driving significantly impaired. The same goes for alcoholics. Someone can be over the legal limit for a DUI and not even feel buzzed if they're heavy drinkers. That's one area that I think needs to be explored and considered for these types of laws.
This just gives scope to give dangerous drivers an out.
It also makes people that abuse drugs and alcohol more dangerous, if they believe they can get away with driving under the influence.
That seemed like a big hurdle to legalization to me, glad it is being worked on.
