Hound Labs in the News

“Standard drug tests detect metabolites in urine and hair, the result of the breakdown of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) molecules that can stay in one’s system for several days or, in some cases, weeks.”

“A cannabis breath test provides a mutually beneficial way for employers to maintain a safe work environment and for employees to be treated fairly during the era of cannabis legalization.“

“The users of your information technology, including employees, are often the weakest point of your security – unless they are educated and made aware of the threats.”

“Are we trying to prove whether or not our candidate or our employees are impaired? And the answer is: No. That is not why you drug test in the workplace. You drug test in the workplace because it is a proven risk mitigation tool.”

“Hound Labs, perhaps the most recognizable name in new marijuana testing tech, has developed a Breathalyzer-like device to detect THC down to the parts per trillion for a few hours after someone consumes marijuana.”

“Unsurprisingly, cannabis legalization has complicated how safety professionals across the country balance the need for safety with the goal of fairness. However, I am hopeful these difficult discussions will lead to improved outcomes as companies realize that by using new breath technology, they can maintain safety, ensure objectivity, and continue fair workplace practices of testing both safety‐sensitive and non‐safety‐ sensitive employees.”
