  • Establishes legal THC limits of 5 nanograms or more per milliliter in whole blood, or 10 nanograms or more per milliliter in other bodily substances (excluding urine), within 2 hours of driving

  • Defines "free tetrahydrocannabinol concentration" as the amount of parent delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol detected in blood or another bodily substance, excluding urine
