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?
0.08 BAC headed down to 0.03 BAC (on it’s way down to Sweden’s 0.01 BAC) federally imposed (via highway gas tax monies) sailed by without dope smokers giving a damn.
Demonizing alcohol does nothing to make society more perfect for smokers (same with the lack of concern as tobacco use was restricted and grounds for employment termination).
“impaired” accidents are not occurring at the low BAC levels either (and it was never the goal of the founder of MADD).
“active” intoxication is not the standard. A driver can still be charged with DWI below the BAC standard, it’s just more difficult to convict. Blowing over the number becomes its own procedural crime.
“Our test is much more useful for roadside law enforcement, since a positive reading indicates drug use within the last two hours.”
While the Cannabix test does not quantify the amount of drugs in the system, as does an alcohol breathalyzer, Malhi reminds us that “…there are already 18 states in the US with strict per se laws that forbid any presence of a prohibited substance or drug in the driver’s body while in control of a vehicle.”
