Abstract
Legalization of cannabis for recreational use has compelled governments to seek new tools to accurately monitor Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and understand its effect on impairment. Various methods have been employed to measure Δ9-THC, and its respective metabolites, in different biological matrices. Recently, breath analysis has gained interest as a non-invasive method for the detection of chemicals that are either produced as part of biological processes or are absorbed from the environment. Existing breath analyzers function by analyzing previously collected samples or by direct real-time analysis. Portable hand-held devices are of particular interest for law enforcement and personal use. This paper reviews and compares both commercially available and prototype devices that proclaim Δ9-THC detection in exhaled breath using methods such as Field Asymmetric Ion Mobility Spectrometry, Semiconductor-Enriched Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube chemiresistors, Liquid Chromatography Tandem-mass Spectrometry, microfluidic-based artificial olfaction, and optical-based gas sensing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
