The roadside breath test for marijuana that will weed out stoned drivers

Researchers at Washington State University in Seattle are working on a breath test to determine if a driver is under the influence of marijuana.
The News Tribune reports that law enforcement officers have a test for alcohol, but they don't have a tool to test for marijuana impairment.
Right now, officers must use blood tests to determine if THC is present in a driver's blood.
But WSU chemistry professor Herbert Hill says existing technologies like those used by airport security agents to detect drugs and explosives can be altered to test breath for THC.
New technology: Washington State University are developing a handheld device that police officers would use test drivers for marijuana impairment. There is no current such tool for cops conducting traffic stops
Hill says his team hopes to start testing on humans early next year.
The Washington State Patrol says it welcomes anything that gets impaired drivers off the road.
The issue of stoned drivers has only increased for police since the state legalized recreational marijuana use in 2012.
The handheld device being developed is not likely to be able to determine how much THC is in a driver's system.
The current legal limit is five nanograms of active THC per milliliter of blood.

However the test will be able to determine whether there is THC present.
That will be enough for officers to make an arrest of an impaired driver and then do further tests that could be used in court as evidence.
'We believe at least initially that it would lower the false positives that an officer would have,' Hill told The Tribune.
'They would have a higher level of confidence in making an arrest.'
A State Patrol spokesman said they were excited about the new technology, but would not be willing to implement it until the tests are 'rock solid'.

I've read about that test COF, it's not cool because it can fail you even if you smoked 5 days ago. I mean, the cut off limits for the nfl, olympics, pretty much anything is less than the cut off limit for that device. Such BS
And I would have peed on the urinal as it was coming up. I can't wait that long to use that thing, I could have driven home and took a whiz quicker than waiting for that lol

hydro, I didn't know it was possible to clone a plant that far into flower, that's crazy! I take them at like 2-3 weeks sometimes and reveg them into monsters for outdoor growing. Good to know you can clone that late, that's awesome. Learn something new every day @ the 600

sry to hear Jimmer. Yeah 2015 gotta be freaking awesome to restore yin/yang..
I had no idea either AP. But only way to have a chance at keeping up with the medicine for my stepdad. He got better a while and had his hips replaced but is back on critical with fever.
I think its pretty cool it worked and probably strain related-haha I actually hate saying that cause its sooooo worn out, yet probably true

No doubt Dr d, that's a dank lookin strain for sure. That's funny you mention rubber smell, about 10 years back I had a strain going for a while that smelled like burnt rubber! Like rubber bands on fire or something! Octagon looks great brotha. Hydro, lol, strain related, I hear ya though, it probably is lol. glad it worked and now you know you can clone that late, very good to know if it comes to a strain that needs to be kept around like in your situation, hope his fever goes down man
