Agreed – anyone telling folks to sell or buy, beware. Everything is an opinion. Look for statements of fact and then research them and form your own opinion / strategy. What I am looking for is some statement from the company telling me clearly that (1) the device is complete to a stage that is able to be fielded for testing, and (2) what tests are planned (or ongoing). Beyond that, I personally cannot see the need to FDA test it (it does not go in a person’s body, and is not used for medical diagnosis). I see the need to persuade the courts to accept the results of the breathalyzer analysis of human breath for the presence of THC. I think it will be up to the courts to determine if the acceptable level of unmetabolized THC in human blood / breath while operating a motor vehicle is zero, .05, .5, 5, 50, or 500. Cannabix has staff that are there to influence the court acceptance of results, and help the court determine a conviction criteria / level. I am personally in long, have been for almost two years. I have a lot of faith in the UF faculty, in aggregate they have a very good record of success (think Gatorade). From my observation they don’t put the University’s name at risk over something that might not work. Like any university, they are very dependent on grants, and the grantees expect results.

Zlinger, there will not be an "approval". However, the government AND police both require scientifically validated clinical trial results that demonstrate the accuracy of the device before implementation and re-structuring of policy. It's not an approval, it's proof. They need results.

Cannabix is several years from having that data. If not longer.

They have detected it in a lab, that is what I previously stated. And yes, that is true, they have. I also stated that it's a matter of time before field testing. Yes, a matter of time, that is true. How long? A long time to field testing, several years of testing, then months of analysis of data, then interpretation takes months, then it could take years to fine tune the device based on the results, then finally it could take a year or two before it's on the road.

Ultimately it's not possible for Cannabix to be on the road in less than 3-4 years. That's fact. 3-4 years is extremely generous. It's more likely to take 5. Hound Labs will be to market much before that as they are already field testing. Breathtec will be to market with Na-NOSE in 1-2 years, again, much before Cannabix. Breathtec will also be to market with FAIMS in 3-4 years. Why faster than Cannabix? They are detecting abundant compounds in breath, easy to detect in large quantities compared to fleeting amounts of THC that leave the system in the parts per billions in 2 hours...

That's all fact and based on my experience working in the field.

Furthmore, you have ignored/haven't commented on what I have actually stated. Take a second and comment on the following and have some discussion rather than dismissing it:
