Opening the article would have allowed you to see that the average was 30.7 ng/mL, it's in the very first bullet point!

using a mean rather than median is fairly odd here. a mean is pretty much worthless without knowing distribution shape.

If you calmed down and stopped snapping at everyone, you might understand that I'm writing about how the law and a lack of studies could make some people more willing to drive high. You are substantially diminishing the quality of the discussion here.

The average (presumably arithmetic mean, though it could technically be any of a wide variety of measures) is not particulatly interesting, the median specifically would be more interesting, as a single figure.

I partially agree, but it is still relevant, because there is a relatively low upper bound to the values possible after which someone would literally be unable to even walk to their car to start driving.

When the average is SO high above the legal limit, and with this constraint that there is an upper bound, it's absolutely relevant.
