Re: dirty blood tests
When you took the drug is less important than what impact that drug was having on you at the time of your arrest.
The question for the jury is whether the drug was in your system and in such an amount that your ability to operate your vehicle was visibly impaired or, alternatively, that you were too 'intoxicated' by that drug to drive.
These are usually proven by observations made by the arresting officer.
I'm not too far from your part of the state. Feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.
