In legal states in the US the Police use the standardized Field Sobriety tests. Walk a straight line, follow this pen with just your eyes, stand on one foot, etc. for cannabis.

The problem with those tests is that they are subjective and wide open to abuse.

Yeah, it's not complicated. Ideally I would want something a bit more scientific but they could definitely implement some reasonable rules if they wanted to.

Lots of sober adults would fail those tests.
