Oakland based Hound Labs has created a breath detector for pot and alcohol, giving police and employers a new tool to detect whether someone has been using weed.
OAKLAND, California -- Since recreational cannabis became legal in 2018, the California highway patrol says arrests and injuries from drivers getting behind the wheel stoned has increased, but there are no consistent standards for determining when a driver took that cannabis, until now. One Bay Area company says it can now narrow down when someone is too stoned to drive.
At DUI checkpoints across the state, police are seeing an increase in the number of drivers getting behind the wheel stoned. According to the California Highway Patrol, driving under the influence of marijuana arrests have increased 31 percent and injuries related to people driving under the influence of marijuana has increased 102 percent since recreational cannabis was legalized.

Since I started watch Live PD, I say we should buy stock as soon as possible.
Now all they need is a standard level, codified, for THC in the breath.
Why? Some in Europe have a 0.01 BAC for alcohol and the CDC is pushing for 0.03 in the US.
And that’s alcohol, far below the levels the founder of MADD ever wanted.

Maybe. Or perhaps that was just to sound reasonable to get a foot in the door.

A friend worked in many nuclear power plants, he said many require you to ‘play a video game’, prior to admittance.
A test for impairment, 1980’s.
Yet another marijuana testing device. Articles have promised those for quite a few years now with prototypes finished and approved, but no jurisdiction has implemented them, yet.

“Why?”
Because I have animus toward impaired drivers.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a strong supporter of universal legalization of weed. No controls or taxes, anyone should be able to grow and possess as much as they think they can use.
But driving while jacked is, and should be, a most serious criminal offense.

That’s exactly what the company wanted to hear after this release.
As John McLauglin, may he RIP, would say, “You have unknowlingly lurched into the truth.”
I agree with you entirely.
