Unlike alcohol, most drugs do not have an equivalent numerical impairment threshold comparable to a BAC of 0.08. A positive toxicology result may show that a substance was present, but it does not automatically establish when it was consumed or whether it caused impairment while driving.
A lawful prescription also does not automatically prevent a DWI charge. The evidence must still be examined to determine whether the prosecution can connect the medication to an alleged loss of normal faculties.

Not by itself. A positive result may establish the presence of a drug or metabolite, but presence and impairment are different questions. The timing, concentration, testing procedures, medical history, and observed behavior may affect what the result proves.
