“I actually do see it as benefiting all parties,” he told the Bee. Most tests currently used by employers reveal marijuana use stretching back as far as 30 days, meaning workers could be penalized in some cases even if they are not high on the job.

“As more states legalize recreational marijuana, law enforcement is hoping to detect those driving under the influence. NBC News received an exclusive look at a new breathalyzer, tested by officials on the streets over Labor Day weekend.”

“FOX Business’ Susan Li breaks down a new report on marijuana breathalyzers that detects pot-use within three hours.”

“Some locals […] say that marijuana breathalyzers could crack down on impaired driving and it could be beneficial to businesses.”

“Lynn said he expects the Hound Labs device will also be used in the workplace, where employers can ensure that workers are not high on the job, and employees won’t face sanctions if they partied the day before.”

“Old tests for marijuana looked for trace elements in things like blood, urine, and hair. But legalization changed all of this.”

“Shawn Ellis, a managing director at NFP Ventures, sees Hound’s device as an alternative to test methods currently used across industries like construction and trucking.”

“The good thing is that if it is not in your breath, then you are very unlikely to have used recently,” said Dr. Lynn.

“With the breathalyzer, an officer will be able to determine if a suspected driver is not under the influence.”

“Even though it’s legal, it’s not legal to drive impaired,” [Walpole Police Chief John Carmichael] said. “Allowing the officers on the street to have the right tools to address this is very important.”

“Warren Tolman told Boston Herald Radio Wednesday about a new pot breath test that will be a tool for cops in identifying impaired drivers on the road.”

“It’s illegal to drive impaired in all 50 states. And whether you’re impaired by marijuana or by alcohol, it doesn’t matter, that’s clearly illegal.”
