A new breath test may help in screening drivers or even employees for recent marijuana use, preliminary research suggests.
A small pilot study of 25 adult long-term or occasional smokers used a new test that detects the presence of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive chemical in marijuana, in the breath of those who used the substance within 30 minutes to 2.5 hours prior.
"The whole issue of drugged driving is key right now," senior author Marilyn A. Huestis, PhD, chief of chemistry and drug metabolism at the Intramural Research Program at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and adjunct professor at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, told Medscape Medical News.
"In fact, the Office of National Control Policy has made the reduction of drugged driving 1 of their top 3 initiatives for the last several years. It's a really big health and safety problem," she said.
A recent study published in the American Journal of Public Health and reported by Medscape Medical News showed that more teens are now driving while high, and another study showed that drivers who consumed cannabis within 3 hours of driving were twice as likely to cause a serious road accident as those who did not use the substance.
However, in an editorial that accompanied the latter study, Wayne Hall, PhD, from the University of Queensland in Australia, noted that public health education about these dangers are probably not enough to deter cannabis users from driving.
"They will also need to be persuaded that they are at risk of their cannabis use being detected," he wrote.
Dr. Huestis reported that although roadside saliva testing has been used in Europe and Australia and has been approved in several states in the United States, THC can be detected for up to 48 hours in oral fluid. This means its detection may not coincide with impairment.
