Lot of sad people in Colorado when this makes it there.
Thatz just stoopit.
There could be “molecules” of THC in the blood for any number of reasons.
I don’t smoke whacky tuhbacky and wouldn’t be surprised to learn there are “molecules” in my blood.
Why bother?? Just makes for more black market that costs taxpayers untold billions per year to TRY and suppress — which does not work.
It will be a big financial boon for criminal defense lawyers.
If you live in a college dorm, you’ll have molecules of this stuff in your bloodstream. Even if you’ve never smoked pot in your life. On Sunday afternoons in my college dorm, you could cut the pall of pot smoke with a knife.
Hey man aqui en Colorado no problemo

Given how long THC lingers I expect this challenged
Prolly 20% of US population. Might swab positive
And were talking Kali
Now to teach you boys a lesson, me and officer Rabbit are going to stand
here while you boys smoke the whole bag. Meow.
” these new THC swabs will help L.A. cops build their case, ... and hopefully scare some stoners into taking advantage of pizza delivery instead of take-out options.”
Uh....might just be the end of pizza delivery.
Government spends their time figuring out how to take more $$$$$$$ Gain more control....
Now all we need is a breathalyzer for cops to see whether they are following the Fourth Amendment. (To say nothing of the Second.)
Pot stays in the blood for a long time, and can be detected in urinalysis for weeks after use.
However, an oral swab may be more reliably able to detect recent pot use, in a time frame that would be consistent with a person’s being under the influence. That, along with other information (e.g. evidence of impaired behavior) just might be enough to establish DUI.
I think the test needs validation, however.
Good. Somehow, driving stoned - which is just as dangerous as driving drunk - seems to have been given a pass. Also, showing up for work stoned, getting stoned on your lunch hour...all of which I have seen at various places I’ve worked ... has no negative consequences. Time for this to change.
Next step is to set up roadblocks, collect swabs, and save to dna database.
It doesn’t actually detect THC, it detects munchies.
