Hound Labs | Hound Foundation

Marijuana is increasingly available and more potent. 
As an emergency room physician and SWAT team reserve officer,
Hound Labs founder Mike Lynn, MD, has seen the carnage
that driving under the influence can cause.  Hound Labs creates a
tool for law enforcement:  A dual marijuana and pot breathalyzer. 
Hound Foundation creates educational tools to address
attitudes about driving while high:  75% of 11th and 12th graders
believe they drive better under the influence of marijuana,
or marijuana has no influence on their driving. 
Essanay produced educational programs:  Stories of an impaired driver,
 and the parents of the man he killed
