Under a bill proposed in Lansing, Michigan could become the first
state to adopt a roadside saliva test that aims to tell police if a
driver is impaired due to consuming marijuana.
Saliva testing is
being pushed by a bipartisan group of Michigan legislators and
championed by the Michigan State Police. But researchers who’ve studied
the test method said results are inconsistent and especially misleading
when applied to regular users of cannabis, such as the more than 100,000
Michiganders who are allowed to use medical marijuana.

This is despite the fact that the Michigan Supreme Court doesn't support the use of random roadside sobriety tests.
