On December 27, 2012 Governor Snyder signed the new law, Public Act No. 479 of 2012, which goes into effective March 28, 2013. It's available at the legislative website.

What counts as being too high to drive? In both Washington and Colorado, laws approved by voters let anyone at least 21 years old possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana for recreational use. But the means of judging whether someone is driving while impaired varies in the two states. In Washington, driving with a THC blood-content level of 5 nanograms per milliliter is illegal. In Colorado, no such limit was set. THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main mind-altering chemical in marijuana. http://www.carinsurancequotes.com/articles/marijuana-and-driving This
