Well I'm not moving back to Tennessee. I don't do illegal drugs or drink and drive, but will be damned if I'm forced to consent to something based on a guy who could have had a bad day.
once again there are no breathalyzers in my town anymore. You are submitted to a blood test and that is that. If you fail field sobriety test you go to jail.

Well here in Chattanooga they give you a blood test on the side of the road, breathalyzers are not even used anymore. The main reason behind that is a breathalyzer does not show whether you are on weed, meth, cocaine or any other drug. So then even if you haven't been drinking you can still be convicted of DUI. Thanks, have a good day.

Well, there aren't many places where that isn't the law, so good luck finding a place.
I don't think you got the whole story from your friend. The law in Tennessee is clear. They cannot charge someone with DUI without either a positive blood test or declining the blood test. Can't even take you to jail for holding without one of those. If they did, her lawyer did a horrible job on the case and she needs to ask for her money back.
My guess is, they took her blood and the quick test was positive for THC, so she was charged and booked. They re-test the second sample for the official court report. Remember, DUI is not just for alcohol, it's for more than the legal limit of alcohol or any illegal substance.

Very possible, but there is not a legal limit on weed since it's not legal, show how can they say she had too much to drive? (sorry there stil isn't a sarcasm font)

So you believe if you refuse to submit to a sobriety test, that we should hand your keys back and tell you to drive safe?
quit trolling. you said it was good policy to send someone to jail for 30days for refusing a breathalyzer. you can get off on the DUI charge, they still take you to jail overnight if they think you are drunk. you make irritating claims to get people to respond and then refute their replies with blanket statements like these. if you actually believe in something we are talking about, stand up for it instead of hiding behind empty rhetorical questions like a choleric coward
I don't buy this statement , just had a friend about 3 weeks ago that got pulled over in east brainerd and they did not do blood test but they did do the breathalyzer and passed. So yes they still do it.
