Currently in New York, if you are found to be driving while your ability is impaired by marijuana, you can be arrested and you can be convicted. It’s important to keep in mind that on average, marijuana stays in your system for a period of 28 days. So a blood test, if you’ve consumed marijuana in the previous twenty eight days, is going to show its existence.

Currently, there are new laws that are being written in the state of New York regarding marijuana consumption, and it remains to be seen exactly how these laws are going to impact the ability to be arrested for driving while impaired by marijuana.
