Should be pretty easy to make a portable machine that sniffs for Dorito-breath and checks for stoopid.
It would be ridiculously intrusive.
I hang out with friends who smoke the stuff, while I don’t. Not my cup of tea.
So a cop pulls me over and smells weed on me and suddenly they are searching my car?
Maybe they begin using computer sniffers and they are nkw searching my car?
I wonder if it measures active blood levels, and indicates intoxication, or is like the near worthless/ethically questionable urine/hair follicle screen that employers typically use just indicates usage within the past few weeks or months(in the case of hair), not necessarily active intoxication.
Surely it would have to show active intoxication, or how could one be charged with driving under the influence/while intoxicated?
Since marijuana is legalized or decriminalized in several states, will a federal judge now deem all state marijuana laws “unconstitutional” based on “equal protection?”
I’m all for a test. But I wonder if it can distinguish between a THC level of intoxicated vs. residual traces. I am pretty sure that level has not been medically determined.
Just offer the suspect a slice of pizza and study the reaction...

That will be a very valuable patent.
Currently the DOT treats marijuana as a Schedule I drug, if the feds legalize it, they will need to treat THC like alcohol. In addition to every LEO in the country, every medical facility that does DOT testing will need a unit.
I’m not much of an investor but there is definitely an opportunity here.
Easier to just look for candy wrappers in the backseats.
