Legal Question in DUI Law in Minnesota

I live in MN. Our state has a drugged driving law ("It is a crime for any person to drive, operate, or be in physical control of any motor vehicle ... when the person's body contains any amount of a controlled substance in schedule I or II... "). Does this mean that anyone on a Methadone program cannot legally drive? ( Methadone is schedule II)

Yes, if there is methadone in the person's system they cannot operate a motor vehicle under Minn. Stat. 169A.20.
