As a result of which, as per the same source, around 36.3 million people were estimated to be suffering from drug use disorder in 2019. Enforcement of stringent laws by several government agencies mandating substance abuse screening for safety purposes has driven the demand for innovative products. For instance, after conducting a one-year roadside drug testing pilot program from 2017 to 2018 in 5 countries, in October 2019, the Michigan State Police (MSP) expanded Oral Fluid Roadside Analysis Pilot Program in all counties. Moreover, the government provides drug testing kits to cops to perform the rapid test for highs. For instance, in June 2022, Ahmedabad cops get narcotic scan kits for trial. If the trial is successful, the kits will be put to wider use by other cops. The special operations group (SOG) of the Ahmedabad crime branch has started using a detection kit called ‘multi-drug multi-line twist screen test device’. At present, the kits have been given only to the SOG.
