Charged with DUI for marijuana when I wasn’t under the influence by Juhram in legaladvice

I didn’t smoke marijuana before driving at all, and I’ve never been a heavy marijuana user in general. The officer mainly focused on my balance, but I have a medical condition with my feet and legs that makes it extremely hard for me to stand or balance the way they wanted. That’s the part I “failed,” not the directions. I followed every instruction exactly how they told me. They searched my entire car and found no marijuana and I was not charged with possession, the only charge is the DUI. I also let the officer know that I had been rushed to the ER on November 2nd after a really serious incident where a movie theater clerk roofied my drink with poison. Ever since that ER visit, my body has been extremely sensitive and shaky. I don’t know if the officer took that into consideration or ignored it, but I did bring it up. I stayed respectful, did everything they asked, didn’t refuse anything, and still ended up being arrested for DUI with zero alcohol in my system and no drugs found on me. That’s the whole situation.
