Investigators Use 'Nasal Ranger' Smelloscope to detect Pot - Polidicks

[IMG]http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1456478/thumbs/n-MARIJUANA-SMELL-large.jpg?9[/IMG] [quote]In Denver, when a complaint is filed about marijuana odor in an area, the Department of Public Health's Ben Siller is called out with his field olfactometer to sniff around and see if the law has been broken. The Nasal Ranger is a portable odor detecting and measuring instrument that can quantify odor strength in ambient air, according to device developers St. Croix sensory. The stink-measuring device, and its developers in Stillwater, Minn. -- which also hold odor training classes for individuals interested in becoming master sniffers -- were featured on the History Channel's Modern Marvels "Stink" episode exploring smelly science.[/quote][URL="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/11/company-develops-nasal-ra_n_4256193.html"] http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/11/company-develops-nasal-ra_n_4256193.html[/URL] [URL]http://www.nasalranger.com/[/URL]

What's to stop the marijuana holder from shitting himself to mask the odor?

Don't point it at [del]Uranus[/del] Urectum.

Good god..

[i]They seem to underestimate the lengths weed smokers will go to avoid detection.[/i]

All that effort just to catch people smoking weed...

[QUOTE=Starpluck;42842367]All that effort just to catch people smoking weed...[/QUOTE] Don't want them spread it with their weed needles

Uh, what about dogs?

[t]http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/87NHueHBHwY/hqdefault.jpg[/t] looks kinda like this guy

The first time I smoked pot, I looked at my buddy and asked "Wait, cops get all hyped up over [I]this?[/I] " Dozens of tokes later and I still can't believe it. Now they're emulating a stoner cartoon to catch stoners. It's a brilliant strategy, I must say. [sp]yes, facepunch's offense squad; futurama can be viewed by non-stoners too. No need to get all pissy[/sp]:rolleyes:

Nasal Ranger sounds like a forgotten superhero comic way back in the 50s or something.

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;42842391]Uh, what about dogs?[/QUOTE] A lot of the time dogs are manipulated by their handlers to give a hit even if the dog smelled nothing.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;42842367]All that effort just to catch people smoking weed...[/QUOTE] I think it was mentioned somewhere that being able to detect weed may actually help it become regulated though.

If you need a special tool to smell marijuana then its probably not heavy enough to be of any concern. Marijuana has a distinct and potent smell to it.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;42842367]All that effort just to catch people smoking weed...[/QUOTE] They want to catch and jail as many people as they can before it's legalised

[QUOTE=areolop;42843774]If you need a special tool to smell marijuana then its probably not heavy enough to be of any concern. Marijuana has a distinct and potent smell to it.[/QUOTE] I'm sure they're happy to bust marijuana users of any scale

The name sounds like a shitty infomercial product.
