Depends. Sounds like if your husband had only consumed one beer that the State could not prove DWI.

There is also a suppression issue with the pot.

However, if he is convicted, a probable outcome is a fine and loss of Driver's Licnese if first offense.

Your best bet is to hire an attorney to represent your husband on the charges.
