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.
