What good is being first to market with a useless device that will not solve the problem? Hounds device is NOT CAPABLE of breaking the THC molecule down to its Metabolic state and therefore unable to produce a credible result. Counting THC is not the problem, determining recency of use is.

Lynn’s team has built a disposable cartridge that slots into a handheld loading dock, and filled the cartridge with a proprietary mix of chemicals that find, bond to, and expand THC molecules to make them countable.



Hound labs device can just count THC molecules. Creating false positives just like urine & saliva tests.

Any marijuana-screening test must clear an extremely high bar of accuracy, said Huestis, the toxicology consultant. The cannabis plant contains dozens of cannabinoids in addition to THC, including ones that don’t produce a high, so a device must be able to tell them apart, not to mention nail the timeframe in which someone is actually under the drug’s influence.

Look at Cannabix 3/27/17 release:

Testing using the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer Beta prototype device with human subjects after smoking THC cigarettes demonstrated the successful detection of THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana, in real-time. In addition to THC, several metabolites were identified in the breath of the human subjects including 11-hydroxy-delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol and delta-9-carboxy-tetrahydrocannabinol, and three other cannabinoids related to cannabigerol, were confirmed by mass spectrometry after the inhalation of cannabis.



Looks to me like Cannabix is building a device that will do so much more than just count. Its ability to identify metabolites and cannabinoids is what will make them successful.

Cannabix = Winning
