Before retail licenses to sell marijuana continue to be issued in the state, Gov. Kathy Hochul's administration is trying to develop a way to measure when motorists are driving while under the influence (DUI) of cannabis. There is no current standard or valid test yet.
In seeking solutions to detect motorists driving high on marijuana, state Department of Health officials said: “With the legalization of adult-use cannabis, there are concerns of increased incidences of driving while impaired after cannabis use.”
