This will allow for accurate tests to determine worker
liability
if injured on the job, poor performance, etc. It will also
allow
for an environment within which to legalize marijuana
responsibly.

I deleted my last idea about legalisation of drugs,
because it turned into a massive, free-for-all
shitfight. Just saying... |
|
| |
How does this test work? Where is the guts of the idea? |
|
| |
Punch biopsy of the fatty tissues inside the head,
perhaps? |
|
| |
[Klattu], that is a fair bone to throw. I myself am at
odds over such a test, currently, though I suspect
brain states can be analysed for patterns resulting
from such a buzz. MRI is too expensive, but perhaps
in the future... |
|
| |
Also, direct THC measurement in the blood.
Traditional tests measure metabolites. If we can get
a test sensitive enough to detect the actual
molecule then it will perform the intended task. |
|
| |
And it's fat soluble, so it persists in fatty tissue, such
as brain matter, for months. |
|
| |
I would have bunned it if it meant to see if one could smoke for 8 hours! |
|
| |
As I, too, have mentioned that there are blood tests that
can determine to within an hour the time between
consumption of marijuana and the drawing of the test
sample, but the test must be performed by a lab. As
written, this idea does not differ from that, so I must call
it baked. |
|
| |
If the idea is for an 'instant' test, such as a breathalyzer for
alcohol, it is definitely much-needed technology, but no
technical details are outlined here, nor is the nature of the
test clearly defined to begin with. |

Brain scans have not shown to be a conclusive technique,
presumably because cannabinoids effect different people
in different ways, and different strains of cannabis contain
widely varying ratios of the six psycho-active cannabinoids,
which all have different properties and effects.
Furthermore, there are GABA and pre-GABA inhibitors such
as Lyrica and Neurontin
which, while producing very different effects on the
nervous system, function in remarkably similar ways and
might ([Alterother] theory) look similar on a brain scan. |
|
| |
Usually, if someone has smoked in the past 8 hours and hasn't bathed, the nose does a pretty good job. |
|

I think this the type of halfbakery idea that implies it's something we should not do, and people agree, but vote against it. |

I think it's the type of idea [marked-for-deletion] variously as WIBNI, advocacy, consumer advice, let's all..., we should research... or magic, depending on inclination and exact conditions. The underlying theme is that there is no suggestion as to how it could be done. |
