Adults Displaying Childlike Behavior On-line.

[Bob Orts]

Paul, the "Pot-Buster" system was able to detect cannabis. It was very accurate at detecting cannabis. The reason it was shelved was that in real world testing, it always detected cannabis but it also identified other vegetation as cannabis. Some of these items like mulberry bushes, basil, chick weed, and even some ivy plants, were indistinguishable from cannabis. Unlike weed control or surveys for density, the purpose of cannabis detection is law enforcement. It was highly unlikely that a Judge would ever issue a search warrant base on the person may have marijuana or maybe a mulberry bush, some english ivy, ferns, a herb garden or just plain old weedy lawn. There was also the cost factor, how much time and effort will be spend chasing phantom pot plants that do not exist. Overall, there are much better technologies.
