cannabinoid fuel cell and working to downsize the device for hand-held use. Beyond aiding law enforcement, the company believes consumers may be interested in purchasing the technology so they can test themselves before getting behind the wheel.Advertisement 4“I think it’s a huge problem right now that we don’t have a technology that can bring fairness around this problem,” Darzi says. “A lot of people lose their jobs and get prosecuted, even if they’re not technically breaking any laws.
. This is not work we did, this is third-party work, but there was a study that showed that THC will only stay on your breath for about four to five hours in measurable quantities. There are some tests that measure THC impairment, for example, but they’re delivering the THC intravenously. Nobody’s shooting up THC. Is that indicative of how this is actually going to be affecting you? So, we’re trying to play catch up. And we think that a breathalyzer of this type actually can help establish those types of understandings about how THC actually impairs people or affects people.There has been a big barrier to this type of research in general.
Once that was done, we were able to order the THC. We have to order it through the federal government still. But once we have that in hand, we actually figured out the fundamental chemistry in maybe six weeks. The chemistry went very fast. It was the legal paperwork that took a long time.Article content
