I get what you're saying, but it's still, you know, illegal.

Kind of the point of my post. It is now possible to fail a drugs test and be banned from driving when not under the influence of drugs where previously a police officer could only arrest you for driving under the influence of drugs and I believe that using that in combination with the new fashion for pulling black people over because of a made up claim of smelling of weed, could be very problematic.

Roadside tests aren't sufficient evidence for a ban, are they?

A positive will lead to a blood test, which has far better sensitivity & specificity.

stopped under the false pretence

Not trying to be pedantic, but the police have powers to stop drivers for any (or no) reason in the UK.
