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? Most smokers (not all, but most) can beat a mouth swab test just by not smoking for a few days. But there’s an exception to every rule, and for some reason a few random people will test positive for as long as a few weeks (my guess is it probably has something to do with diet, and not eating healthy). So to make sure you’re not one of the exceptions, I’d still recommend picking up a home test and using it right before your lab appointment, to find out where you stand.
p.s. By the way – if a lab ever gives you instructions not to eat or drink before you go in for a saliva 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?

so i smoked on Sunday and have a test on Friday. Its a swab test. I have flossed brushed my teeth gargled with some mouthwash all day everyday for 4 days. Also i gargled with hydrogen peroxide.. The test is sent off to lab what are my chances of passing?
Hey there,
I am currently un-employeed and have an Interview on Monday for a Security Position. I really need this job, but Im worried about the Drug Screening. Iv been employeed before by this company, about 5yrs ago. They used the Saliva Sponge method for the drug screening. Im sure they’ll use the same one. I read that you say that the saliva test is the EASIEST to pass, so Im asking for your advice/help. The bottom paragraph above says to just NOT smoke for a few days, and to take my own test at home to see where I stand. But theres gotta be more to it than that. Please fill me in on what Im missing. I know excercise helps. Sweat cleans your system. Is there anything else?
Worried Applicant
I smoked yesterday at 8pm… My test is tomorrow 11am what do i do to pass ? explain pls…
i just did an oral swab and i havent smoked in about two weeks. i ate a couple of Clementimes ‘oranges’ before the test. i start my peel with my teeth and i have no idea how the results will turn out. i will let you know.

So I had to take a drug test today to this job. I smoked 4 days ago (didn’t know I had a drug test comin up till the next day)
I thought it would be a piss test so I did my regular ritual but ended up being a cotton swab. I really hope I’m the few that can pass by just not smoking for a dew days.

i haven’t smoked in a few months had a job interview on friday and for some reason i smoked a small joint on monday night around 10pm woke up at 12pm the job wants me to come in at 3:30pm tuesday well i brushed my teeth 3 times gargled peroxide twice plan on doing it agian before the test its an oral test. what are my chances i’ll pass
What if they always send it to a lab how u do u pass?
WOO HOO! I’ve been reading up about how to pass my swab test, and I did! Here’s what happened:
I did not smoke the night before, BUT….. I did not have a full 48 hours clean.
I drank a lot of liquids the day before the test. I brushed my teeth four times, flossed twice, and used an anti-septic oral cleanser twice.
The day of my test, I brushed my teeth & flossed, used the oral cleanser and sucked on a mint on the drive to the test.
Once I got into the parking lot, I swished HIGH VOLTAGE Saliva Cleanse Mouthwash. The bottle says that if cleanses your saliva for up to a half an hour. I’m not sure if this step was essential or not. The little bottle of mouthwash cost me 18 dollars at a local headshop.
SO! My point is:
brush your teeth OFTEN and do not smoke the day before your test! Use an anti-septic oral cleanser with hydrogen peroxide and you should be fine!

Maybe I’m missing it, but I didn’t see a direct answer on how to pass it. Also, my problem is I go for an interview that’s a few parts, and won’t know at what time ill get the test. I could be there for hours before I actually get swabbed….

i took a saliva test on friday i been clean for the last month.but when i took the saliva test i was bleeding from my gums.would i come out dirty because of my blood not being clean ..they told me that they give me my results in three day should i be worry ????
I smoked last night ate and went to bed this morning I brushed my teeth and took the swab bout 12 think ill pass
so i had a saliva drug test the other day and i had smoked a little over 24 hours prior. i thought it was a urine test so i drank a gallon of cranberry juice, a gallon of oj, and a bunch of water. they made me hold the swab under my tongue for a minute or two. i brushed my teeth vigorously before and smoke a few cigarettes before i went in. do you think because of all the citric acid that i will pass???
i also took azos and my urine was back to normal color in the morning
how do i beat a swab test if they test me random and i smoke weed alot.
mouth wash with alcohol!
yea Listerine so I’ve been told is awesome
just go a call at 7 pm thursday night for a drug test 8am friday morning this is a mouth swab smoked at 7 pm
How do you pass when test is just popped on you . You go in to work and they do random test and its swab. How is this beat.
keep some listerine in your locker or some wear easily accessable, should work :)
The last time I smoked was on 11/25. I have my test on 12/4. That is nine days. Would that be enough to have it out of my system? And if other people are smoking in the car around you, would that affect you on a saliva drug test?
So I just had to take an oral drug test at work. At my job they have a medical facility built into the building. I knew they were going to test me this shift which took place less than 12 hours ago. I was also certain it would be a UA. Turns out it was a mouth swab. The weird thing is is that the test didn’t give quick and easy results. In fact when I got the job, they tested me the quick and easy way and I smoked 12 hours prior. This examination takes 72 hours for reults. And the last time I smoked was about 7 weeks or so ago. Should I be alright? Saliva doesn’t go back that far does it? PLEASE get back to me soon.
Yes u are definitely alright… Marijuana come out your system 30 days and saliva 24 hours
Yeah Anonymous is right, they could prolly blood test you and you’d be clean after 7 weeks :)
Nice job, ok well my ex and now really my ex was freeking about the swab test and has mesed up his program and now he ass out cz ia not talking to him wow,wish he had done somthing with his computer then tripp out of shit i was not doing and read up on this suff…love the doper friend bio! too funn

I have a saliva test in 24 hours, what should i do to pass it? Is there anyway to pass it with only having this amount of time? I found a table with detection times on it but not sure if is correct. I am worried about opiates and pot……Can anyone help?????? Please email asap if you can.

Thought I would pass this along. Went to a job interview today (Wed). Knew they required a drug test. Figured they would send me to some lab for a piss test, probably tomorrow since the interview was late in the afternoon. Was going to get one of those synthetic urine kits tomorrow. So I get there and they give me this plastic stick with a little sponge on the end and tell me to put it in my mouth and bite down on it for a while. I smoked a bunch of killer weed Sunday night. None since. I didn’t even know these saliva tests existed. Before I left for the interview I was drinking some raspberry flavored, Kroger brand, “In an instant light drink mix” (sugar free). I like to put it in a coffee cup and heat it up in the microwave and drink it hot. I noticed that when I took the sponge out of my mouth it was stained red from the drink mix. Not sure if that had anything to do with it but I passed.
Frank,
That’s great you passed, man. Especially since you weren’t expecting it. But I doubt if what you drank had anything to do with it, nothing you described would make any difference. Most people are clean for a saliva test within 24-48 hrs after smoking, so it sounds like you were just super lucky it worked out the way it did. :-)
I smoke good ass kush, EVERYDAY. I havent not smoked in like a year. Anyhow, will these idea’s help even though i smoke all day everyday, high-grade shit? Please, I totally need the help! Oh! And I only have three days…
I smoked a menthol cigarette just before they put the stick in my mouth and I failed. Is it the menthol cig that showed up as alcohol?
What works for a heavy kush smoker?? :)-~
Do you think that you can pass a saliva drug test if you have not smoked for 3 days but, ate an amazing weed brownie 2 days ago?
Hello everyone! I Had to take a swab test for my job 8am on oct/31. I was really scared and just knew I was gonna fail this. So came on this website and read some comments. I Smoke 4-5 blunts a week for… The past 4 years and i quit smoking for four prior to the test. So on the day of my test about 7am I gargled peroxide for about 30 secs and then some mouthwash. Brushed my teeth vigorously for about a minute. Repeated once. Smoked a marlboro light on the way there had some southern sweet tea. Popped two peppermint Altoids in my mouth on the way in. Got the stick in my mouth and I just kept it in between my back teeth it touched my tongue and cheek a few times but I tried to keep it from. So after about 3 minutes I took it out and wiped the druel from my face. She said it would be Thursday or Friday before the results were back. Today (Thursday) I got a call and I passed. Also my co-worker had one two and she smokes more than I do and she stopped for two days and passed it with the same methods. So everything checks out great. Very impressed will recommend to others.
we will see
took my drug test, ill get the results next week
how do you pass a swab test if you have used drugs in the past 48 hours? this may include coke, herion, crack, acid, mushrooms, ectasy, oxycotton, percacets, and a low grade horse tranqualizer… i also like to drink
Hey,
Any chance your name is Chris? Oh, and low-grade horse tranq. you mean Ketamine? Lol. That’s not used for horses.
<3
holy crap you better slow down. live a little and do all the fun stuff twice but holy moly… MODERATION
DAMN BOY!!!!!
I used to be scared to take urine tests every time I had a job opportunity, because I thought I had to sweat, work out, drink cranberry juice, drink a detox fluid etc. But that shit is plain dumb. All you have to do is buy synthetic urine, warm it up, and pass the test. They sell them at smoke shops. My most recent job opportunity I went to the interview high as fuck thinking I was going to take a urine test which I was prepares for. Turns out it was a fucken SALIVA DRUG TEST. All I did was put it in my mouth and not let it touch my tongue or get any saliva on it. Well….I passed that bitch high, and got the job. Saliva test are easy so if ur getting ready to take one, don’t panic just don’t let the swab touch your tongue or get any saliva on it. Hope this helps
becareful with synthetic urine some companys have caught onto it. even gateway tire tests for that
Urineluck synthetic no-mix urine (made by Spectrum Labs) is the ONLY synthetic urine that is absolutely 100% undetectable. When testing for synthetic piss, they look at creatinine levels in your urine (which no other synth has been able to pass because of how quickly creatinine breaks down).
I personally use this product for every urinalysis. I also worked in a testing lab for 4 years, so I can tell you straight up, that particular one works great. It’s 20 bucks at the smoke shop down the street, and I assume it’s a pretty general price.
I’m taking a swab tomorrow, though. Does anyone know a store chain that sells them? I just wanna be extra sure. ;D
GOOD LUCK MAH FELLOW TOKERS! May the green gods be with you!
My son passed by using peroxide. Just before the test he gargled and then tested.
Im really shocked.
