A saliva drug test is a lot easier to pass than any other kind of drug test, so there’s really no excuse for failing one. But I have a sad story about someone who managed to fail one anyway, and I think it’s a good cautionary tale. It was a situation that could have been avoided SO easily – if this guy had only taken his saliva drug test more seriously.
Ryan’s Saliva Drug Test Fiasco
This all happened a couple of months ago. Ryan bought my e-book 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 my e-book.
Turns out he was having a combination drug test and physical. Ryan’s lab appointment was for 8 a.m. on Thursday, and he mentioned that the instructions he’d been 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 piss test, and he had some questions about that. In his email he didn’t mention anything about passing a saliva drug test, and I could tell it wasn’t on his mind at all.
Weird Saliva Test Requirement?
Now, before this happened I’d never heard of someone being told not to eat or drink anything before coming in for their drug test, so it’s obviously pretty rare. And 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 specifically about how saliva drug 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 a saliva drug test. I also told him he could prepare for a urine test at the same time if it would make him feel more secure, since the two methods don’t interfere with each other in any way. But it’s just SO EASY to pass a saliva test if you prepare for it, so I really tried to get across to him that he needed to do this, just in case I was right. (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.)
A Saliva Test Horror Story…
Well, you can probably already see where this is going. Yup, sure enough, he was given a saliva drug test – which he hadn’t done any preparation for AT ALL – and he failed his test. I have no idea 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 urine test, so he followed the instructions in my e-book for that (again) and passed with no problem. 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 passing a saliva drug test is really easy, you MUST take them seriously, folks. You and I know that it’s complete insanity for employers 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 a saliva drug test is so freakin’ easy to pass.
How To Pass A Saliva Drug Test – The Easy Way
You want to know just how easy it is? You can beat 95% of all saliva tests just by not smoking for about 3 days. Sometimes even less, if you happen to be a light smoker. So don’t bother spending your money on outrageously expensive ‘saliva cleansing’ products (that almost never work anyway!!).
p.s. By the way – if a lab ever gives you instructions not to eat or drink before you go in for your drug test, JUST IGNORE THEM. They’re only asking because they want to get the most accurate results possible. So if your goal is beat a saliva drug test, why help the lab?

i PASSED MY DRUG` TEST COUGH DROPS COUGH DROPS COUGHDROPS DEY WORK GOT MII A JOB 2DAY
Smoked like 4 days ago. Only cause i slowed down with the starting of school. Got a saliva test for a job interveiw. Should I be worried?
i smoked a bowl 2 hours before a swab test and i passed it. i took another today but has been a week and a half since i stoped smoking so i know i have passed this one but i will post the results to that test when i get.
i passed one by telling them that i have a stomach illness… tell them you have IBS (Irital Boul syndrome) tell them your doctor gives you meds that help slow down the amount of saliva you produce so that you do not swallow as much during the day. Then tell them that you can go down and pee and you know what to do after that. 1 out of 4 people test inconclusive anyway and they are sent down to do a pee test anyway.
I have passed plenty of piss tests b4, ladies get some clean pee, I use my 4yr old daughters…. put clean piss in a boiled pilled bottle the smallest u can find, lube the pill bottle and stick in your hooha, very uncomfortable, but piss stays warm and the lab facility wont know either!!!
I have a drug test today!!! wgat should i do please help
i had to go to an insurance office today, turns out my mom had gotten me life insurance and i was given this swab test on the spot. i usually smoke every day or every other day and took some edibles last week. prior to this test, i had smoked a couple of bowls on sunday (test was given to me on tuesday) sooo i’m shitting bricks right now. how far do these swab tests trace?
I need to know how to pass a mouth swab for my job and I smoked weed I mean dro last night ? Can anybody help me out
The last time I smoked was 2. 3 days ago. I smokes 3 blunts and I just found out that I have a job interview tomorrow at noon and I have been freaking out. I just started smoking in july and this is my first drug test. At first I thought it was a piss test so I drank a half galloon of water in an hour. I felt sick. :/ but my mom told me that its a swab test and I don’t know anything about that. I brushed my teeth and I keep chewing gum. Am I okay? :( I really need this job.
I just got a phone call from a job ive been wanting for years. my background test was good but i need to go in for another drug test. i smoked today at around 5am and hve to go tomorow (sept. 5 2010) at 5pm.. do cough drops work? and @freshest of the fresh, i totally agree
we need more answers than questions here who’s got the goods?
Ironically enough, my local Lowes store has been calling me to come in for an interview. I know that they give the swab test and as of right now, after reading everything, I am most likely going to put my trust in vinegar. I just wanted some clarification on exactly what type of vinegar to use and exactly when and how to use it. I have smoked about 5-6 gb’s everday for the past 6 months.
amen u are sooo right
yoo ! i went to lowes for an interview as well and I noticed they were giving the Swab Tests to 2 other people. .and I was like WHAT ! never heard of a swab test before.. meanwhile ive been smoking like everyday for the past month. and I want ACCURATE results on how to pass.. Im nervous and feel as if theres no way to get around it
haha…chance? ….is that you starbucks man?
thats creepy all i smoke is GB’s and i have the final interview for lowes tomorrow im scared i havnt smoked since 9:00p.m. yesturday IM NERVVVVs I NEED THIS JOB…. lest me know how it went and what you used and how many days did you smoke before the test
I TRIED VINEGAR AND IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DRINK
i pass every time with peroxide
I have passed a saliva test once. I quit smoking a couple days before and didn’t let the swab touch the inside of my cheek or tounge. Is that any way to beat one without quitting altogether?
I have not smoked in 16 days, have little to no body fat and have a test next monday which would be around 22 days with nothing in my system…..will I pass a mouth swab test?
Are you sure this works. I have a test and others told me this is the way to go but I’m still am nervous. I REALLY need this job and I am an avid smoker I just can’t help myself. Sounds bad but I shouldn’t have to change who I am for anyone cause even if I get the job I’m still gonna smoke on. : )
Hey are you really sure that its works if you stop for 3 days at least?
Cause i had drug test yesterday for this job and I did not expect the saliva test…I though it was gonna be the piss test and now I know im gonna fail that test. He is suppose to call me in the next 3 days to see wat happen with the results and Im sure he gonna say that i fail. Please respond to me asap, thanks.
Hey cj, i have a test on friday july 2nd, i smoked a couple one hitters on tuesday. i have very little body fat but am a quite avid smoker u think the vinegar, peroxide and listerine will for sure make me pass.
Haha isn’t that ironic? Smokin while workin for a drug testing facility??? Haha I love u
yes you can pass very easy, see some people get the swab test and it gets dipped in a fluid that will change colors if ur dirty and some get the lolipop test where you let it sit in ur mouth usually under ur tongue but either way get ur mouth coated in something before, my suggestion, which worked for me in a random testing situation is cepacol (sp?) cough drops they make ur whole mouth feel numb and supposedly coat ur throat (and mouth) just make sure yo can’t feel any part of ur mouth and take the test as soon as you can, but if they tell you to keep it under ur tongue try to move it around as much as possible because u don’t want the THC to seep out you just want the spit that’s infused with the cough drop, I know it sounds too good tobe true, but honestly I smoked and 5 hours laters I had to take a drug test I had no idea about, I had the drops with me and in a last ditch attempt I tried, it worked and now I have a Job
well from what i have read on Wikipedia, saliva testing is mainly to determine if you are high at the time of the test, and lucky for the “pot heads” the detection period for THC (whether you are a chronic user or not) is from 12 to 24 hours, I’m sure it can vary a bit from person to person, but to be able to post these types of results on a credible website such as “Wikipedia” there must have been some major testing done in the matter, so to be safe wait 2 days and you should be close to guaranteed to have negative results, this is for weed only, for other drug detection periods check Wikipedia and look up “drug test”.
I AM TIRED OF ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ASKING THE SAME THING ABOUT MOUTH SWAB TESTS, THE VERY TOP OF THIS PAGE STATES 3 DAYS IS ALL YOU NEED TO NOT SMOKE AND PASS CLEAN WITH A MOUTH SWAB. if you didn’t catch this on your first read, READ IT AGAIN DUMBASS!!
you know that wikipedia is composed of entries from people like us right? have you read some of the dumb shit posted on this thread? you might want to before you back up the credibility of wikipedia hahaha
Wikipedia is not a cedible website. Students are not allowed to reference Wikipedia for research. The only credible websites are .gov .org ect. .com websites are not credible either.
@ jamie I totally just did exactly what you said and failed…maybe I smoke too much? I smoked 8 hours before..but didn’t know I was going to have to take a test until right after I smoked… but they gave me a second chance…I gotta go to a lab and pee test tomorrow..I got exactly 24 hours to figure out how I am gonna pass this thing.
420 girl, look for a headshop or tobacco store around your area that sells a synthetic urine kit. theyre pretty common around chicago but im not sure about other areas. its a fail safe unisex urine bottle that usually comes with a handwarmer to insure temperature. ive used them several times and have never had a problem passing a urine test.
I was banking on a urine test and I brought some clean p with me. Low and behold i get led into a normal office room where i was then asked if I had any gum in my mouth. Immediately I knew it was a oral swab test. I smoked that morning (3 hrs b4 test). Dumb idea and I should have thought it out a little more. This was this Tues that just passed (4/13). Now I only smoke about a gram a day of potent fuckin bud. Nice headies. It is for sure no more than a g a day, possibly even less some days. I mainly use gravity bongs because of the quantity of weed needed (and saved) and the ease and potency of a g-bong. Since tues I have only taken 4 g bongs. Now let me fill you in before I get of course. When I took the test Tues I was nervous as fuck and had bad cotton mouth. I didnt do the test exactly as I was told and didnt really try to soak the swab or anything. Luckily that worked and I need to do it over again. ( I was also banking on failing but had hope so I cut my smoking back immensely IMO). What I have smoked the past 2 days is what I would normally smoke the first hr i was up or out of work. Today I have not smoked at all (last night bout 7pm was the last hit). They called me back today and asked if I could come in and re-do it because it must not have been in my mouth long enough (he he). Luckily I have the opportunity to pick when I go back. Unfortunatly I need this job a.s.a.p. So I want to go take the test as soon as I can be sure Im clean (considering picking up a store bought saliva test and trying it monday to see if im good). Its been 24hrs so far. I have only been smoking heavier (to me the past 6 months maybe. I have been smoking for like 7 years but I had my moments where I stopped for a while for whatever reason). I have until this Mon ( the 19th ) till I can even go take it again. But I have the choice to go anytime until late next week or even the week after if I really needed, however I really dont want to stop for that long if not needed. Cannabis is the best and it helps me greatly with all the stress,anxiety,nerves,as well as calms me down. How can I be clean by Tuesday say 4:00 pm EST? Or should I just naturally be good since it will be about 5 days? Should I brush and mouth wash like crazy until then and also use Listerine strips that day or should I ride it out as little. This depends on weather I get the job or not and I basically hold that decision in my hands since I can choose when Im coming back in (I work another job right now that this new employer knows Im still at.) I don’t want to blow this because I didnt wait an extra day. Im 6ft 185lbs male. How can I for sure beat this shit and score the job.
ive been on probation for the past 6years and smoke at least an 8th a day and all i do is stop 2 or 3 days before the test and i use this stuff called stinger never fails. and it is true about the three day thing. because i didnt have money for the mouth wash one time and just stopped for 3days and passed the test. but like everyone says its hard to stop, but if you really need to then you have to do what you have to do. so stop smoking for 3 days and you will be fine. peroxide helps a little too
I FAIL EVERYTIME WITH PEROXIDE, WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
when and how much do you use before the test?
do u drink peroxide? how does it work? i hv a swab test comin up next week but i’ve cut back A LOT! i mean, im only smokn like once a week.
brush your teeth several times make sure you use peroxide just before you go in.
^ LMAO NOW THAT WAS FUNNY!…BUT TRUE
think u need to smoke one and calm down
HEY MORON. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO SMOKE UP TO THE HOURS BEFORE THE TEST. NOT THE SOCIAL USERS WHO DO THE 3 DAY THING.
Did u get the job?0
and that works for a mouth swab?
> do u drink peroxide?
DEFINITELY NOT! All you need to do is rinse with it.
