I'm sorry but the long view of both companies add up to having been elaborate stock schemes. There is no other way to put it in my opinion. So while I'm on a tear I might as well rip this page out the fictional storyline as well - "IMPAIRMENT." What is marijuana impairment? By all indications to date the world may never know. As time rolls bye bye, there are more and more scientists and law enforcement personel weighing in on the matter per clinical studies and roadside evaluations. What is becoming more prevalent is the message of inability to determine ones level of impairment regardless to how much someone recently smoked. Be it in the last 10 minutues or several hours. Here's what a Canadian law enforcement office stated a week ago regarding someone testing positive for THC:

“Just because I tested positive for that roadside test for impairment does not mean I was impaired,” she says.

And RCMP Cpl. Lisa Croteau says Gray is actually correct.

“There is no correlation between the level that you’re at, the active THC in your body, and impairment,” says Croteau.

"Gray" is a person taking CBD and Edibles to treat her MS symptoms. Which brings the whole "impairment" matter to another level.

Alcohol/Liquor consumption to my knowledge is not a prescribed medical treatment. Unless you jump in a time machine and go back to the Wild Wild West. When taking a big swig of liquor just before the hackjob doctor poured the rest directly on the wound before extraction or amputation. A barbaric time to be alive.

Furthermore, as it relates to alcohol impairment, the science dates as far back as 145 years! 57 years later (1931) the first roadside breathalyzer was invented. So given that timeline, it took scientists nearly 6 decades to begin the process of a standardized test for impairment.

Origins

A 1927 paper produced by Emil Bogen,[3] who collected air in a football bladder and then tested this air for traces of alcohol, discovered that the alcohol content of 2 litres of expired air was a little greater than that of 1 cc of urine. However, research into the possibilities of using breath to test for alcohol in a person's body dates as far back as 1874, when Francis E. Anstie made the observation that small amounts of alcohol were excreted in breath.

To date in the USA, the laws for BAC impairment range anywhere from .01% (zero tolerance) to over .20% (Super Extreme/Super Drunk). The threshold for BAC impairment levels vary by employment. For example: Air Traffic Controllers (zero tolerance). Commercial Drivers (.02% to .04%). The average Joe/Jane (.08%). So BAC "impairment" is not a set number. It varies depending on the level of ones activity/responsibility/perceived risk. The federal government placed it's thumb on the scale in 1998. The tipping point was due to the overwhelming number of deaths contributable to Alcohol consumption.

On March 3, 1998, President Clinton addressed the Nation on setting new standards to prevent the many tragic and unnecessary alcohol-related deaths and injuries that occur on the Nation's roads. (In 1999, there were 15,786 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in the U.S. - 38% of the total traffic fatalities for the year. This represents an average of one alcohol-related fatality every 33 minutes) Among other measures to deter impaired driving, the President called for the promotion of a national limit, under which it would be illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. An illegal per se law makes it illegal in and of itself to operate a motor vehicle with an alcohol concentration measured at or above the established illegal level, regardless of whether or not the driver exhibits visible signs of intoxication.

To date, marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. There is zero federal studies for roadside THC impairment. Therefore, many states have taken it upon themselves to conduct such studies, but there is no general consensus amongst any of them. However, one ongoing theme is there is no coorelation between the level of THC in ones system and impairment or roadside accidents/deaths. Here's the findings from a recent THC impairment study:

LANSING — Michigan should not set a legal limit for how much marijuana someone can have in their body while driving, a state commission has recommended.

After spending nearly two years looking into how marijuana affects drivers, the Impaired Driving Safety Commission recommended the state set no limit for the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, in someone's blood.

Instead, the committee recommended continuing to use roadside sobriety tests to determine whether a driver is impaired.

"The only reasonable way to do this right now is to demonstrate that people are impaired," Norbert Kaminski, professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Michigan State University, said.

Kaminski, who was one of the six members on the commission, said he was happy that Gov. Rick Snyder created the commission to "make logical and rational decisions based on the state of the science."

There's a "very poor correlation" between blood THC levels and whether someone is impaired, Kaminski said.

After exposure to cannabis, blood levels spike to high, Kaminski said. But once it's in the blood stream, it quickly drops. Within six to 10 minutes, the THC level falls to half of what it was.

In addition, because everyone's body metabolizes marijuana differently, a fixed limit wouldn't provide an accurate picture of impairment, according to the commission's report.

Right now, Michigan has a zero tolerance policy, meaning any amount of THC found in your blood could, theoretically, lead to drugged driving charges.

But many prosecutors and police officers say they would want to see bad driving or evidence of impairment along with a blood test that shows THC, according to a previous State Journal report.

So taking in all available information from the past and present, It's my belief a THC breathalyzer is light years away from being a real contender in the area of impairment. There are simply too many unknowns to have everyone suddenly jump on the same page. Furthermore, and more importantly, the issue of Medical Marijuana will be the strongest pushback to any widely acceptable standardized method for THC impairment. Alcohol does not have a Grannies 4 Pot organization. It's more like Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) when it comes to alcohol. In the USA, there are experts at all levels telling the Federal government to legalize marijuana as a means to ween the population away from Opioid addiction. So society (even global) is leaning in the direction of marijuana being a Friend not Foe. I simply see a very steep uphill challenge for a THC breathalyzer becoming the "gold standard" for roadside impairment. I can also see a neverending story that rides the wave of the ever changing dynamics of the pot craze. But hey...it's just one opinion.

If anyone can explain the following in a rational manner - I'm All Ears:

Cannabix Technologies Develops Beta 2.0 Marijuana Breathalyzer

Kal Malhi, President of Cannabix stated, “Several states in the U.S. are voting to legalize recreational marijuana on November 8, 2016 and the need for law enforcement to have a tool to gather scientific evidence of marijuana impairment in drivers is becoming an urgent need. Cannabix Technologies has been diligently working on our Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer for approximately two years and we are excited to be at the advanced stage and preparing a device for law enforcement and employers to begin testing. We are making excellent progress with the objective of having an accurate and court accepted tool in the coming months.”

The Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer system is being developed to give law enforcement and employers a tool to enforce public safety.


Vancouver, British Columbia, March 14, 2019 -- Cannabix Technologies Inc. (CSE: BLO) (OTC PINK: BLOZF) (the “Company or Cannabix”) developer of the Cannabix Marijuana Breathalyzer for law enforcement and the workplace, is pleased to report that early testing with its breath collection unit (“BCU”) has thus far provided stable and consistent results. In late January, the Company received an initial version of its portable handheld device for the collection of breath samples at the point of care. Testing with human subjects using the BCU, has improved consistency of breath sample collection, and has provided important real-time data parameters on breath flow rate, volume, relative humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and temperature. Engineers may make additional adjustments to the BCU based on this early testing of the unit and additional units are planned to be built for field testing purposes.

The upside for Algernon Pharmaceuticals shareholders is the 3rd Party/Clinical trial process with FDA oversight will not be mmanipulated year in and year out. The outcome will be finite. Either we get a hit or a miss.

There will be no mindboggling and masterfully manipulated stories. Stories from one year to the next that looking back reminds me of one of the greatest Sci-Fi Series of All Times:
