The Supreme Court has issued a binding legal opinion stating the concentration of drugs in the blood which will allow criminal charges to be filed against drivers without the need for a medical examination to determine the degree of influence.

The legal opinion, which the court published on its website on Thursday also sets a ceiling on amphetamines and morphine.
