Researchers are working to find a way for police to test drivers who could be high behind the wheel.
The legalization of medical marijuana in Oklahoma and loosened
marijuana laws around the country are spurring conversation and research

Researchers say the device has been used on one person and worked but
federal regulations forced testing to only be done with a machine
blowing the THC.
The device testing on people could see several months pass before federal approval.
