"Minnesota Launches Pilot Program for Roadside Cannabis Impairment Testing"

TL;DR Summary
Minnesota is launching a pilot project to test a new oral fluid device that can detect drug use in drivers. The device, which will be voluntary and not admissible in court during the pilot, aims to identify the presence of drugs like THC, cocaine, opioids, and others within minutes. This initiative comes after the state legalized cannabis for adults and is part of an effort to combat drug-impaired driving, which has been on the rise. The results from the pilot will be used to gather data and potentially inform future legislation.
