Good. We've been doing things completely wrong for a very long time, trying to punish the substance rather than human behavior.

If somebody is driving like an idiot, s/he needs to be off the road until the drug leaves the system, s/he gets adequate rest before getting back behind the wheel, or a medical problem is discovered and treated.

Testing for substances rather than impaired behavior was a shortcut. Getting impaired people off the road until the cause of the impairment is removed should be a better way to do things.
