I wouldn't have supported the Washington initiative. The idea that a driver can be forced to undergo a blood test and be penalized for something they may have smoked ages ago is terrifying.

I agree it's less than ideal, but they can't test you without probable cause. So as long as you aren't driving erratically with a car reeking of weed you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Since when has probable cause been anything like a surefire safeguard in the War on Drugs?  Do people seriously not see being forced to have your blood tested by the police as an invasion of privacy? If that's not, I don't know what is. It's just not worth it. 
Thankfully the Supreme Court is taking up this issue in the context of warrantless blood tests for alcohol, where there is a good chance it will be struck down.
