In places where medical marijuana is legal, it is important to take the next step and ensure public safety with new measures, one of which can be partially aided with a marijuana breathalyzer. Vancouver, Canada-based company Cannabix Technologies developed such a road safety device, which similarly to breathalyzers for alcohol, are designed to prevent high people from driving. Even if it's ok for you to be smoking, doesn't mean it's ok for you to be driving and put others in danger.
This is even more important when considering over half the states have legalized at lease some form of weed use. The marijuana breathalyzer is for police to use during roadside tests to detect Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels.
