Unmetabolized THC can be detected in blood, through breath analysis. If it is in solution in blood, it will be in breath in trace levels (Boyles Law of partial pressures) It does not matter if the THC got to the blood through eating, smoking, or other. The THC in blood is what is being processed by the body, resulting in impairment. Per the study, the levels of THC in oral fluids does not correlate to the levels of THC in blood.

My opinion - say a user was sucking on an edible gummy and spit it out. The THC level in their saliva may be very high (no pun intended) but the level in blood may be extremely low, as the majority of the gummy has not gone into the digestive tract. If tested by oral swab the person may ring as being impaired. A blood test (via blood draw and lab analysis or via the Cannabix FAIMS device) may exonerate the person as having a blood THC content below the threshold established by the local authorities.

My opinion again - this scenario is the fatal flaw of oral swabs and saliva analysis.

We'll look back in 10 years and see if I was right or wrong.
