Don't Weed And Drive - Company Testing Pot Breathalyzer Prototype
Like it or not, weed is going to be available like alcohol. No one can stop this wave. There is too much money involved, and besides - the people want it. Soon more weed smokers will take to the road. Car crashes will happen, in which you - the non weed taker will have to defend yourself. Was the other person drunk? No. Was the other person on prescription drugs? No. Heroin! NO! Was the other person on Weed? Yes. When was their last hit? 40 days ago? 4 days ago? Or 4 minutes ago?
This is no longer a theoretical concept of, "but weed does not hurt anyone." "No one overdoes from weed" "Weed affects everyone differently." "I am smarter on weed." "I am dumber on weed." "I have better motor skills on weed, so you - the non-week taker is at fault!" Don't laugh, there is data to support this argument - and any pro-week lawyer will hire experts to blow you away in court because your skills were not as sharp as his client's.
Besides, didn't you just wake up - and just a little bit sleepy? Or really tired from a hard days work - and not at full alert? What about that NyQuil you took 10 hours ago? Whereas the weed taker was fully rested - and besides, he functions better on weed! His video game stats prove it! You are now having to prove you are not at fault - the non drug user, or you will pay higher insurance rates for the rest of your life.
On Wednesday Dec 2, 2015, Hound Labs, from Oakland, California announced they are developing technology for a handheld breathalyzer for marijuana. It is supposed to get someone's THC level in real time. Police currently use blood or urine test to measure THC levels. But this test only test for levels, not impairment. Impairment will be the main issue that needs to be addressed.
