Supreme Court dismisses drunk driving charge where only non-impaired cannabis metabolite was detected in blood.

The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the defendant's drunk driving charge because only a cannabis metabolite without impairing effects was found in their blood. The prosecution argued for a conviction based on the presence of the substance, while the defense contended that the specific metabolite, carboxy-THC, does not affect driving ability. The court ruled that since the statutory requirements for impaired driving were not met due to the lack of actual impairment, the charge could not stand.
