This goes a bit beyond just cultural taboo.
A breathalyzer test can determine if you are under the influence of alcohol _at this moment_. No such test exists for weed. The only way to prove someone is not high is to do the usual urine test, which returns positive if you've smoked at all in the past ~month.
It's a liability thing. If a "weed breathalyzer" is invented and employers can prove that you are sober when reporting to work, I think smoking in the evening will become much less of an issue.
- sweetheart 5y agoThere are devices to detect if someone is currently high from weed, though they are not very common. Source is my SO who works doing DUI rehabilitation therapy for alcohol and weed.
- jcomis 5y agoI believe the marijuana "breathalyzer" / swab tests are known to moderately to wildly inaccurate, like you can test positive 2 days after consumption in some cases. Law enforcement desperately wants such a device, so naturally there are plenty of companies willing to fudge their numbers to provide it however.
