This company is working on a marijuana breathalyzer test to detect drivers who are high.

A breathalyzer able to determine if a driver smoked pot could roll out in select cities in the fall, according to a company developing the first-of-its-kind product.

"The Hound breathalyzer is 1 billion times more sensitive than today's alcohol breathalyzers," the company says on its site.NJ marijuana legalization: New Jersey just quietly decriminalized weedA 2017 survey by the Colorado Department of Transportation found that almost 70 percent of cannabis consumers drove high at least once in the past year. Twenty-seven percent said they drive high almost every day.

Tools like Hound Lab's alcohol-and-marijuana breathalyzer or Canadian company Cannabix Technologies Inc.'s roadside saliva-testing device aim to present an objective determination of impairment rather than one based on an officers' judgement or an intrusive test. Drivers with a blood alcohol concentration over .08 percent are considered under the influence of alcohol or driving while impaired.

If this works, it will mean that many more states will jump on the bandwagon of legalizing marijuana. The enforcement of driving while not under the effect of MJ is a major issue. Legally, we can determine if one beer was too much, but not if one puff was.

Oh great. Some bureaucrat going to determine what levels are 'acceptable' when every person's tolerance level is different. Nothing but another way to extort money. How about tougher penalties for people who actually commit a crime against another person instead of the state?

The device 'will help ensure safety on our roads and in the workplace while also promoting fairness to people who use marijuana legally and responsibly,' Smells like bullshit to me! Cannabis discusscannabis 420day LegalizeIt

So it’s ok to take pills everyday and have a normal life Including drive a car? read the Bible Being high is something someone named for mind altering contraceptives. Honestly... coffee and energy substances are also mind and mood altering... Jesus!! It’s all about 💵.EVIL

This is going to be great for companies that do random drug tests, people should be able to use marijuana on their days off and after work and not lose their jobs over a joint they smoked 3 weeks ago.

It's a simple test- driver breathes into a..'pot hole' to determine if s/he is in need of..repairs. If the THC reading is..high, best to request some TLC.. - This company is working on a marijuana breathalyzer test to detect drivers who are high

Wouldn't looking for the Bernie 2020 bumper stickers be just as effective?

Is there a donut one? 😬😬🤦🏻‍♀️

Is it $BLOZF? I bet it's $BLOZF
