Test kits for THC already exist. The problem is applying them properly to a check-stop "is this driver impaired" context, given how long of a detection time THC has in the body, even after the effects have entirely worn off.
If I consume cannabis (any method) before bed at 10:30 PM, and I wake up at 5:30 AM (which I do), I have zero psychoactive effects remaining. But an on-site saliva test (not conducted by a lab) can detect THC for
up to 12 hours. It would need to be understood that the mere presence of THC in the saliva is not enough to determine intoxication.
Anyway, as you were.
