I seen this in the news, a test for THC and meth, just lick it and in a minute or so results,,,,
They say these are going to be used in OK with a 1 year minimum jail time on a positive.
My question to all y'all that may know about these is,, well everything,, how long after smoking will they show a positive result? Will they show having ingested say a brownie, or a cap filled with oil?
One of the issues I have with what they said is they do not do this for alcohol, sure they have the test, and you go downtown, but I know many alcoholics that have never done time or even lost their license even after multiple arrests.

Saliva Drug Swab Test
Due to the increased number of drivers driving while under the influence of drugs, police officers in Los Angeles are now testing using drug swabs at DUI checkpoints. The test is roughly eight minutes long and uses a person’s saliva to detect THC, crystal meth, methadone, cocaine, and several other prescription medications.
There are conflicting reports as to the accuracy of these tests. The tests work by detecting trace amounts of drugs in California driver’s saliva, but there can be traces of some drugs in your saliva up to three days after consuming them. This leaves plenty of room for doubt in a court room, as it would be nearly impossible to prove without a shadow of a doubt in a court room that a person was under the influence of Marijuana at the time they were driving solely based on a saliva drug swab.
