"Speaking of going to the dentist, if you have some lidocaine you'll test positive for cocaine. If you're on a painkiller of some sort, you'll test positive for heroin. If you're on Ritalin you'll test positive for meth."

"It goes on. If you're prescribed sleeping pills you'll test positive to benzodiazepines. So as well as the inaccuracy of the test, you also get these false positives to other substances."

Most sleeping pills are Benzodiazepines.
So a test _should_ be positive for presence of them or active metabolites. It isn't a false positive.
The level, and the degree of effect, `are then worth establishing or arguing about.
I'd assume the existence of a prescription would be a substantial assistance to the driver.
Chris also mentioned that the #NZGreens are fighting tooth and nail against the amendment to the Land Transport Act that would bring in this highly dodgy testing. On the basis that it violates a bunch of basic civil liberties.
Another good sign for their return to a focus on universal human rights and freedoms. On top of Kahurangi Taylor's bill on protecting satire from copyright SLAPPs, and Marama Davidson's Right to Repair bill, this makes the trifecta.
Keep fighting the good fight!
