Biomedical engineering graduate students hope to market their roadside testing device to states where marijuana use has been legalized AKRON, Ohio — Two Ohio graduate students have invented a device that will allow law enforcement officers to determine whether motorists have used marijuana. The Plain Dealer reports that two biomedical engineering graduate students at the University of Akron hope to market their roadside testing device to states where marijuana use has been legalized. Mariam Crow and Kathleen Stitzlein's device tests saliva to determine the concentration of pot's active chemical in the bloodstream. Police must now wait weeks to get results from blood tests for marijuana use. The two women recently received a $10,000 inventors' award. They previously received Ohio Third Frontier funding to develop their device, which they are calling the Cannibuster. Copyright 2015 The Associated Press

It's only a matter of time... a device is tested and given "judicial notice" as to its accuracy and judicial waiver for use... to be considered a reliable "scientific instrument", like the Breathalyzer was. Legalize the weed... since DWI's are dwindling, this will be the new stat provider for LE.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on. Robert Kennedy
But ... but ... pot stays in the bloodstream for months! Maybe years! And people drive better when they're high! Honest! We have studies which show that! And many famous people have smoked pot! Even George Washington! And most Americans want pot to be legal! Honest! We have surveys which show that!
Besudes, marijuana is harmless....the potheads have told everyone that.
Yes, that is correct. Maybe years! Reductio ad absurdum And people drive better when they're high! Honest! We have studies which show that! Stoned drivers are a lot safer than drunk ones, new federal data show Marijuana Users Are Safer Drivers Than Non-Marijuana Users, New Study Shows And most Americans want pot to be legal! Honest! We have surveys which show that! You drug warriors still whining about that? And, right on cue, Deckard is defending these very same points in post #4.
Merely pointing out some facts to you two "clowns".
Do we know Deckard the Tool....or, do we know Deckard the Tool?

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
