UK: Cannabis Breathalysers Are Coming Soon

The race is on to build a viable pot breathalyser, as cannabis is becoming increasingly legally available around the world.

Reuters reports that a Canadian company called Cannabix (which sounds more like a whole-grain breakfast cereal for Snoop Dogg) is working on a device that roadside police will be able to carry to check that drivers aren't stoned at the wheel.

Apparently the challenge is in creating a device that will detect THC, the psychoactive substance found in cannabis.

The first devices won't be too sophisticated - merely offering a binary yes or no as to whether THC has been detected (rather than offering a more nuanced calculation of exactly, similar to how to a breathalyser will tell you how much alcohol is in someone's blood).
