Whether a person is functional and another is not is not a problem of law or enforcement

Sure it is. One person can sip one small glass of wine, have a legal blood alcohol level, and subsequently be weaving dangerously all over the road. Another with a high tolerance could blow above .08 or .10 and drive in a perfectly acceptable manner.

pick a number and that's the law.

Since a heavy user can test positive for THC for up to a month after stopping pot use, equating an arbitrary number with a level of impairment, in the case of marijuana, is useless..

Driving while impaired enough to cause a hazard to others, regardless of a number, should obviously be subject to appropriate penalty, and the worst repeat offenders need to be locked up and the key thrown away..
