If you are to pass a saliva drug test, it is a must to know how the test procedures work before anything else is assessed. A swab of cotton is placed between the cheek and gums for several minutes so that it can absorb the person’s saliva.
The sample taken from the test subject is then sent to the drug laboratory where it will be carefully assessed and evaluated. Because it is a non-invasive procedure unlike blood or urine tests, tampering of the actual sample is not possible since there is no privacy given at all. With this being said, beating a saliva drug test will be very difficult since you must submit a sample of your saliva which should not contain any traces of drug compounds which can possibly be seen during the test analysis of the laboratory. Saliva is a product in our body which is continuously produced by the mouth, specifically the glands, which can identify traces of the drug compounds on the blood stream. This indicates that to pass the test, your saliva and your blood should be free of toxins, specifically THC which is found in marijuana, since the laboratory checks the metabolites of drug in the saliva which also contain blood molecules that are normally present on saliva.
The use of cleansing products may be used as your last resort and not your first since use of cleansing products to mask drug toxicity tend to fail on the actual test. You can try ridding yourself of drug toxicity without causing too much attention by using mouthwash and other forms of rinsing agents. The regular use of this at least 3 times a day before your actual testing may help you pass the drug test. Also, if announced that the test will be done on the next few weeks, immediately stop drug use to give yourself better chances of testing negative for marijuana use. You should also consider stopping the use of prescription drugs and or supplements to lessen the chances of false positive results. Be precautious though of sudden stoppage of drug use since you may experience signs and symptoms of drug tolerance like nausea and tremors.

Hi, Alicia!
You already can pass saliva test and in thursday-friday you’ll pass a urine test for sure. And till the next weekend you’ll pass a hair drug test. So friday is the best day for you it seems.
If it’s home test not lab then you can pass it in a day

I smoke earlier today and then found out that I will have to pass a saliva drug test either tomorrow or the next day. I smoke at about 3:00pm today and if the test is tomorrow it will be around 11:00am. If Friday, probably around the same time. Am I completely screwed?
So I’m looking at applying for a job that does the saliva test. I’d really like the job but I want to feel confident that I’ll pass before I start putting in the work to get the job. I’m 5’7 weigh about 125 and workout about an hour a day (I haven’t been for the last few months but I’m working on getting in shape for summer so I will be) how long should I wait before and what can I do to get ready? The last time I smoked marijuana was yesterday. Is drinking water and cranberry juice going to be effective for me?
I have to take a saliva test tomorrow & I haven’t smoked marijuana in 3 days, I bought this stuff called Ultra Klean Ultra Wash has anyone ever heard of it & does it really work? I sure hope so!

kelsee
Detection time you can find here: http://mbdetox.com/detection_time.php
THC stays in the system from 10-24 hours (depends on your system).
Its better to wait until tomorrow. Also, try to get testing device at the pharmacy and test your self.
i used meth last monday about 9:30 am, i have a saliva test tomorrow at 10:00 am about 8 days later! Should i be ok?
erika
What is your body weight and how long have you been using meth? Generally for a one time usage, methamphetamine will stay in your saliva for 12 to 24 hours. You should be ok for your test.
I jst did a drug test and i failed it camep out postive for cocanie its been 2weeks since i used i smoked a cigg before i took the test it was a saliva test any ideas i hve to take other one tommrow
Ymfm
Your saliva should have been clean from any cocaine metabolites after two weeks. Did you take any over the counter antihistamines before your test? They might have given you a false positive for cocaine. You can look for a detox mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Stinger-s-Detoxifying-Mouthwash_P78848 to help you pass your test if you feel that you will still be positive but cocaine usually leaves your system in a few days. I don’t think that the cigarette had anything to do with your positive results for cocaine but you should not use any toxins before your test for at least 48 hours prior to testing.
hi…..i have a saliva test on monday (jul 2) i smoked a couple bowls on Wednesday (jun 27) but took endocents (tuesday to today) 2 per day average…..i purchased hydrogen peroxide and mouthwash and am hoping i have plenty of time to rid of everything by noon monday. i plan to use peroxide and mouthwash all weekend up until i enter for the test…can you please give me any advice to add or do you think i have sufficient time to pass…thank you
illkid
You should be fine. You have a detox mouthwash, make sure to use it correctly (time frame).
Hi. I took a saliva test a few hours ago. I’ve smoked weed three times total in my life and the last time I smoked was on the 15th of June. Do you think that I will pass? I’m really nervous about it but I read somewhere that saliva tests only detect use within a few days. Thank you!
Zach
What is your body weight? This may have something to do with how long the THC stays in your system. Depending on this factor and that you only smoked a little there is a good chance that you passed your saliva test. Take a home urine THC test and if you fail that then there is a good chance that yiou failed your saliva test also. I think that you probably passed because of the low toxin levels
I had 2 tokes of pot on Sunday, it is now Tuesday and just hurt myself at work. I have up to 48 hours to take the swab test which will put me at Thursday. It is my understanding i should be fine as far as that goes, but what I didn’t even think of is when I got home from the ER I took 2 Aleve for the pain. I know this can cause a false positive. Will I be ok if I don’t take anything again and drink lots of water/cran to flush that out of my system?
Wolfie
You should be clean. Before the test tell that you used Aleve just to cover yourself from the problems. Do not use anything.
i am a daily smoker of marijuana and i just found out today aug, 23 i have a saliva test on wednesday the 29th if i stopped smoking today and brushed my teeth and rinsed with mouth wash multiple times a day will i pass.?
Quitta
No. You body is constantly producing saliva and as long as the THC is in your blood it will show up in your saliva. You can pass a saliva test by using a detoxifying mouthwash about 5 minutes before your test and it will kill all the toxins in your mouth for up to 40 minutes. The Ultra Wash Toxin Cleansing Mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Ultra-Wash-Toxin-cleansing-mouthwash_p119 may upset your stomach so you need to spit it out but the Stinger Mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Stinger-s-Detoxifying-Mouthwash_P78848 is safe to swallow.
I am an oxycodone abuser. I have a Saliva drug test on Monday. today is Saturday. I use about 80mg daily, give or take. I tried to quit yesterday, but caved and took about 10mg today to stop my misery. I bought Stinger mouthwash, and the girl at the head shop told me it works about half the time. I want to believe its being misused, and maybe that’s contributing to its failure rate? I even bought two to test one out, but can’t find any saliva tests at CVS or anything to test it out. I’m going to abstain from use tomorrow, swear! Am I going to pass?

How to use:

“Minutes before the test, take the Detoxifying Mouthwash little by little and swish in mouth for at least one full minute altogether. You can either swallow or spit the product out. Alcohol free formula won’t burn or dry your mouth. After you finish with the entire bottle, make sure not to brush your teeth, eat or drink anything. Go for your test immediately. The product will be most effective in the next 30 minutes.
Tips for success:
Avoid any toxins for 24-48 hours before your test (alcohol, tobacco, THC, cocaine, etc.) Do not eat or drink after you used this product.”
As for all products here are a few reasons why people fail their tests:
1. the level of toxins in the body is extremely high.
2. people don’t follow given directions.
the only time i ever smoked weed was aug 9 today is aug 29 i had a saliva drug test today for a job would i likely pass or fail??? should i be worry. please response!. thanks.

You should be fine.
You can find detection time here: http://mbdetox.com/detection_time.html
Im a pretty heavy smoker and just landed myself a job which does random saliva tests. I’ve smoked for almost 5 years now. And every site says something different. I’m under the impression because of the fact it’s in my blood it’s going to come out in my saliva constantly too. Other than the mouthwash is there anything you can recommend?
I’m not really willing or in the right frame of mind to quit right now, but I REALLY want this job!

You really need the mouthwash. There are not many other options. You need to stop at least 48 hours before your test to pass with the mouthwash. The Stinger mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Stinger-s-Detoxifying-Mouthwash_P78848 is very good and you can use that about 5 minutes before the test and it lasts for up to 40 minutes.
Im a regular THC user, however I have not been using as often lately due to trying to get this job. I have smoked about 5 times this month, last night (11th) around 11ish was the last. I got the call saying I got the job but have to take a saliva test tomorrow (13th). I do not have the money for the ultra wash or any other detox for that matter. Im lucky to have gas money to make it there. Is there any thing I can do?
JB
There is not a lot you can do. if it were a urine test you might be able to dilute your sample by drinking a lot of water but this isn’t the case with saliva testing. You can try to drink a lot of water but this may not dilute your sample enough. Your best bet would be to use a detox mouthwash.
Hey I’m in intensive outpatient therapy and relapsed tony oxycodone 30mg. I get a lab saliva test daily. I heard rinsing my mouth with peroxide will allow me to pass is this correct
fatboi
Not likely. Your body is constantly producing saliva so the peroxide will just leave a bad taste in your mouth for a few seconds while the toxins will show up as new saliva is produced. You need a good detox mouthwash to give a 40 minute window where all the toxins in your mouth will be destroyed. Stinger mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Stinger-s-Detoxifying-Mouthwash_P78848 and Ultra Wash mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Ultra-Wash-Toxin-cleansing-mouthwash_p119 will give you the results you need.
Hey I took a swab test at 3pm on oct. 1st and am being regularly tested twice a month. If I smoke marijuana on oct. 2 will I be ok to pass a test on oct. 3-5? I’m 6′ 3′ 175lbs and haven’t smoked in 5 and a half months.
Johnnycage
If your test is closer to the 5th you’ll have a better chance. The best thing if you are going to be tested regularly is to get some detox mouthwash and keep some on hand. http://mbdetox.com/Pass-SALIVA-drug-test_c10/
I smoked crack on wed oct 3 and and ago an on Friday oct 5. In have a drug test on wed oct 10. I’m not sure if its saliva or urine. It could be either because its for probation. Will I be okay? I use twice a week regularly. Sometimes just once a week. Help!
Fathead,
I am sorry to say it, but it doesn’t look like you will be OK. If there has been recurrent use of any particular toxin, the metabolites will stay in the system for a longer period of time. You have better chances of passing a saliva test just by staying clean these five days, but if it is urine test – you are better off using some detoxifying products. Don’t take your chances and rely on the fact that crack-cocaine molecules half-life is shorter than some other drugs. It would be a good idea to get a detox drink, something like one of these: http://www.icassp2006.org/passing-saliva-drug-tests/#xmlwidget_AmSyAwExATZ=d2lkZ2V0PUFtU3lBd0V4QVRaJmNpZD01OTMxNjYyMw%3D%3D
Im a heavy smoker. I smoked at one and have a saliva drug test tomorrow,,,,, What can I do to pass?
Tee
You need to use a detox mouthwash in order to pass your test. Ultra Wash Toxin-cleansing mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Ultra-Wash-Toxin-cleansing-mouthwash_p119 or Stinger’s Detoxifying Mouthwash http://mbdetox.com/Stinger-s-Detoxifying-Mouthwash_P78848 the toxins can not be removed on such short notice.
