Paving the way to address leading public safety and health issues

Law enforcement officers face new challenges

  • With recreational cannabis use legal in more than 23 states and Washington, DC, more people now drive under the influence.

    A 2017 survey by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) found that over 50% of the (marijuana) users reported consistently driving high in the past 30 days.

  • Existing roadside drug tests cannot identify recent cannabis use.

    Oral fluid tests measure residual THC which can be present for up to 72 hours after marijuana use — long after safety-impacting effects subside.

  • Officers need better information at the roadside about recent cannabis use.

    Using a breathalyzer to measure THC in breath provides the best data.

The Solution:

The world’s first breathalyzer to measure recent cannabis use

The HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER gives law enforcement an objective way to determine if a driver has recently used cannabis.

"We can't wrongly arrest people for crimes that get overturned because of wrongful determination."
