GOT YOU COVERED: Insurance company launches major update for cannabis DUIs

According to Kahn, a major flaw with current testing methods for cannabis DUIs is that they are based on blood or urine testing for THC.

"THC stays in the body long after any impairment has faded because it is fat soluble," Kahn explains. "This means that a regular cannabis user will have THC in their blood and urine for weeks even after they stop consuming. In short, a regular cannabis user is breaking the law every time they get behind the wheel, regardless of whenever they last consumed."

If THC shows up in lab results, an individual is typically charged 60 to 90 days later with a cannabis DUI. However, Kahn argues that individuals can suffer financial loss and mental trauma before ever being charged with a crime.
