...he's propose a scientific study to test drivers at different levels of drug intoxication and see at what point they become a problem.

Then again, what is the problem? Marijuana is not served at bars, so it's not like alcohol where someone has to know that after "x" amount of drinks you cut them off or take their keys. People do marijuana at home. Which means that, like someone who drank at home and then decided to drive, the police will stop them if they're driving badly. Why does one need a bill to make it illegal for anyone to drive under the influence of anything that would make them a bad enough driver that you'd need to stop them?
