In states like Washington where the THC limit for DUI is 5 nanograms/milliliter of blood can a medical marijuana patient who smokes high CBD/Low THC weed everyday be arrested for DUI even though CBD doesn't get you high ?

Police when they stop you . Might arrest you for many reasons.
There is law in regards to a measured number of something.

There is also a law that you are not capable of driving in a safe manner. Hint someone that is extremely tired, having some medical issue like a stroke, a blood sugar issue. Or just being a bad driver.

Will you be convicted or just released in a few hours depends on situation. There is not one answer for every smoker for every possible degree of medical issue.

DRE conducts a standardized, diagnostic 12 step examination of persons arrested or suspected of drug-impaired driving or similar offenses. Based on the results of the examination the DRE develops an expert opinion.
One of these steps is the NUMBER from the test.

These laws don't really make any sense. Most of them were made by intensely angry republicans who would do ANYTHING to control marijuana - nobody really knows why.

So don't look for any of the laws like this to make any sense. They're as senseless as the republicans who make them.

Feeling high is legally irrelevant. Impairment of your ability to drive is the legal issue. You CAN be convicted of DUI when under the influence of legitimately prescribed medications used as directed.
