Gaize is solving the problem of cannabis impairment through a real-time, self contained testing device. Cannabis is being legalized rapidly, but no real-time impairment test currently exists. This risks both the safety of our communities, and the successful long-term legalization of cannabis. A reliable solution to real-time cannabis impairment testing is fundamental to full cannabis legalization. We’re 100% focused on leading the way in this area, and it’s a massive opportunity. If you agree, and are passionate about this mission, we’d love to have you join us.
