Beating saliva drug tests is by far the easiest of all, so there’s really no excuse for not passing them. But I have a sad story about someone who managed to fail one anyway, and I decided that it’s a good cautionary tale that I should share here. It was a situation that could have been avoided SO easily - if this guy had just taken beating saliva drug tests more seriously.

This all happened a couple of months ago. Ryan bought my ebook on a Monday, and he had a pre-employment drug test coming up on Thursday that same week. The reason I know this is because he emailed me on that Monday with a question after he read the ebook.

Turns out he was having a combination drug test and physical, and he needed some advice. Ryan’s lab appointment was for 8 a.m. on Thursday, and he said that the instructions he was given said for him not to eat or drink anything after 10 p.m. the night before, except for water, plain coffee or plain tea. For some reason (I have no idea why) this made him absolutely certain that he was going to be given a urine test, and he wanted to know if I thought the lab would be able to tell if he took the ingredients I recommend for how to pass a urine test. He didn’t mention anything about beating saliva drug tests, and they obviously weren’t on his mind at all.

Now, before this happened I had only heard of someone being told not to eat before coming in for a drug test – I’d never actually met someone who was told this, because it’s pretty rare. From everything I know about how to pass a drug test (which is a lot), there’s no hard evidence that what you eat makes a bit of difference in any drug test method. But knowing what I know about how the different tests work, common sense told me that the only possible test it might be required for would be a mouth swab.

So I emailed Ryan back right away and I told him that although I didn’t have any direct knowledge of this requirement, I was 99% certain that he needed to follow the method I give for beating saliva drug tests. I also told him he could use the instructions for how to pass a urine test at the same time if it would make him feel more confident about being prepared (I just had a feeling he was stuck on this idea). But since it is SO EASY to pass a saliva test, I really tried to get across to him that he needed to be prepared for one. (And I also reassured him that it is impossible for labs to detect when someone uses the methods I give, so he didn’t need to worry about that.)

Well, you can probably already see where this is going. Yup, sure enough, he was given a saliva test - which he hadn’t done any preparation for AT ALL - and he failed the test. I don’t know why he didn’t take my advice. False confidence? Maybe a touch of laziness? He sent me another email after he got his test results and admitted that he was a complete idiot for not listening to me. But this is one time when I really would have preferred to be wrong, because he missed out on a really good job as a result of all this.

So, long story short, Ryan and I kept in touch and fortunately things did eventually work out for him I’m happy to say. He finally got another job offer about a week ago, AND he had to pass another drug test. But this time they told him upfront that he was getting a piss test, so he followed the instructions in my e-book about urine tests (again) and passed with no problems at all. He sounds pretty happy with the job he ended up with, but I don’t think he’d want to go through all that grief again if he had it to do over.

So what’s the moral of poor Ryan’s story? Just that even if how to pass a drug test is really easy, you MUST take them seriously, folks. You and I know that it’s complete insanity for people to be wigged out about the humble weed, but the fact is that there are a lot of insane people who pull the strings and decide who gets hired and who gets to keep their job. And like I said before - this sooo did not have to happen, because beating saliva drug tests is so frikin’ easy.

p.s. By the way - if a lab ever gives you instructions not to eat for hours and hours before you go in for a drug test, JUST IGNORE THEM. They’re only asking because they want to get the most accurate results possible. So if your goal is beating saliva drug tests, why help the lab? ;-)
