On October 23, 2018, TODAY aired a Rossen Reports segment about marijuana screening kits in schools. Correspondent Jeff Rossen visited a Colorado high school to see a swab-based kit demonstrated on vape pens, gummies, cookies and backpacks.

The report explored a question shared by educators and families: how to screen an unfamiliar item for suspected cannabis. SwabTek links to the original broadcast in its news archive.

Watch the original segment on TODAY. It documents a demonstration from 2018; for today's products, pack sizes and testing procedures, explore our test selection and product resources. Screening results are presumptive and require confirmation; a residue test does not establish a person's drug use or impairment.
