I stated -

To date, marijuana remains illegal at the federal level. There is zero federal studies for roadside THC impairment...

That is not correct, and I should have remembered that at the time of writing it. Please blame it on previous Blood Alcohol Concentration. Here are some of the federal governments findings regarding THC impairment:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

Despite the variability in results, this research has demonstrated the potential of marijuana to impair driving related skills. It does not show a relationship between THC levels and impairment. These studies are conducted under carefully controlled conditions with precise measurements. Under these conditions even slight changes in performance are often statistically significant. Whether these often small changes in performance are practically significant (i.e., increase the risk of crash involvement) cannot be determined within this research framework.


Congress requested an assessment of methodologies and technologies for measuring driver impairment resulting from the use of marijuana, including the use of marijuana in combination with alcohol. The measurement of driver impairment is challenging since driver performance is a product of manual, cognitive, and perceptual skills, and the range of performance reflected in the normal driver population is large. Deficits in performance can arise from a variety of causes that include alcohol, marijuana and other drug use, distraction, drowsiness, emotional states (fear, excitement, anger), and other factors.


Current knowledge about the effects of marijuana on driving is insufficient to allow specification of a simple measure of driving impairment outside of controlled conditions. Other research methods can contribute to our understanding of the risk of driving after marijuana use and will be addressed later in this report.


As the previous sections of this report have indicated, the poor correlation of THC level in the blood or oral fluid with impairment precludes using THC blood or oral fluid levels as an indicator of driver impairment. The use of BAC or BrAC as an indicator of driving impairment has assisted law enforcement and prosecutors in being able to show that an alcohol-impaired driver has a BAC that has been demonstrated to increase crash risk. The use of THC level cannot serve this same role for marijuana-impaired driving (Dupont, Voas, Walsh, Shea, Talpins, & Neil, 2012)


Toxicologists are not able to provide expert testimony that a specific amount of THC present in a suspect’s blood (or other specimen) is definitively associated with being impaired by marijuana and render the driver unable to drive safely.



Here's a question for any Camp Cannabix shareholders perusing through pharma world. If Toxicologists such as Dr. Goldberger at Cannabix Technologies Inc cannot legally testify to THC impairment levels, how is it possible for Cannabix to come up with a "Court Certified" THC Breathalyzer?

Here's the link to the federal governments (NHTSA) recent report on THC impairment dated July 2017:
