College Students Invent a Marijuana Breathalyzer

Last December, we reported that scientists at Washington State University were working on a breathalyzer for weed. Oddly enough, those scientists may be beaten to the punch by a couple of entrepreneurial college students at the University of Akron.
The graduate students studying biomedical engineering received a $10,000 award to create “the Cannibuster” to “accurately measure levels of the chemical” within individuals during traffic stops. The Cannibuster clearly showed promise, as these students wooed judges with their “lab-on-chip” technology, toppling four other competitors for the grant.
The Cannibuster will use a saliva-based test to determine a driver’s THC-levels. Most states have a legal limit of 5 nanograms or less of THC, which is problematic, since habitual and medical users of cannabis typically will always test at levels far higher than that.
While there’s much proof driving on weed may indeed be no more dangerous than driving sober, states with legal weed feel the need to test drivers for the substance and blame accidents on cannabis. But as any smokers knows, drinkers run stop signs, while stoners wait for them to turn green.

Now I challenge them to prove that the CONstitution and laws apply to someone just because they are physically within a geographic area commonly called a state!
