"Right now, we have a structure in place under the Criminal Code for dealing with marijuana-impaired driving, but it's a terrible system," Lee told Rick Cluff on The Early Edition. Lee, who specializes in impaired driving cases, refers to the standardized field sobriety tests used by officers in B.C.
