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?

so i heard a pill called “niacin” (500 m) will aid u in getting clean.. again; no smoking while taking. But within 2 days of nt smoking and taking this cleaning regiment along with pleanty of H20, will make u a test passer everytime! :) Just a helpful hint to those who might need it… These pills do have “flu like sympt.” however it is purifying ur body very quickly so ur body will feel sick.. :)
July 21st, 2009 at 2:39 pm
Taking niacin to pass a drug test is one of biggest (and most persistent) false myths there are. And drinking lots of water does NOTHING to help someone pass a saliva test. Although water will help you pass a urine test under the right circumstances. Bigred, I think you’ve been listening to people who don’t know what they’re talking about. I don’t care how many times something is repeated, if something is wrong it’s wrong, period.
> These pills do have “flu like sympt.” however it is purifying ur body very quickly so ur body will feel sick..
If you take a bunch of niacin and it makes you feel sick, it’s because you OVERDOSED on it. The recommended daily dose is really low, like around 15mg. Some people actually end up unconscious and in an emergency room if they really go overboard, and it can seriously damage your liver. If you don’t believe me, just google “niacin overdose” and see what comes up.
I know you meant well, man, but I just want to set things straight for anyone else who might read your comment. I know what it’s like to feel desperate when you’ve got a drug test coming up, but there are methods that really DO work for passing a saliva or urine test that don’t require you to do anything dangerous like OD on niacin.
July 27th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
all of this tells me nothing on how to pass a saliva test… it just says how to pass a urine test…. i need BIG TIME HELP people on saliva test… its monday and i need to pass on wednesday.. plz help
July 27th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
You can beat a saliva test by not smoking and take a mouthful of Hydrogen Peroxide (like for cuts) and swish it around. It is very helpfultousea toothbrush along with swishing and scrub your Entire mouth. This simulates your tiny pores that open up and allow the Peroxide to kill germs includes small fatty cell that screte within your mouth this will work like the day before a test. speak from expience
July 27th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
damn i can’t spell. i wonder why??????????? the peroxide taste like crap so don’t swallow
August 2nd, 2009 at 12:37 am
well what if the saliva test is random?
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
ipassedmydrugtest.com/ this site might be able to aid people who are looking for a quick release to a “random” test. For the most part this site is developed by doctors; i have yet to use the products due to not yet being picked for a random saliva test at work; but when i do i will inform everyone on the results ~ hope this helps you all in your endevors to “enjoy life” and all its beautiful wonders.. :)
August 5th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
buy a 99 cent bottle of peroxide and a small travel toothbrush from a store and keep it in your vehicle, back pack, tool box whatever. in order for a saliva test to work right the person getting the test needs to have all liquids, food and cigarettes out of there mouth for 20 mins. enough time to do what u gotta do!
August 5th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Did it once with rx toothpaste w. 10% floride
August 6th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
i know for a fact that if you take certo the night before you take your piss test u will pass. this has worked for me and a couple people i know… there is no trace in your test that you took something… certo is only like $5 at albertsons or safeway! trust me this will work… i smoke a couple hours before i took certo and took my piss test the next day and passed wit flyin colors.
August 7th, 2009 at 12:00 pm
swish piss around in your mouth and smoke some meth! Guaranteed to pass for marijuana. haha, get it?
August 18th, 2009 at 1:21 am
My step daughter told me she had been molested by her step brother. I took the appropriate steps and called child protective services. I took my step daughters in to be interveiwed. Before I knew it I was being asked to take a saliva drug test. I smoke pot regularly and have since I was 14 years old. I have never been arrested or in any kind of trouble in my 43 yrs of life. I admitted to smoking on my birthday a few days before. Now my step daughters can only be around me or their dad unless supervised. Also they are now requiring all of the people that have contact with my step daughters to be drug tested also. Now that means out of every family member they have the only person allowed to have custody is their Grandma. Pretty much everyone in our family smoke at least weekly. All of this over marijauna. Now I can understand my people become crack and meth heads. What a joke

August 20th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Does the paroxide really work my test is in the a.m and how long b4 the test should u rinse it out
August 20th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
(for marijuana) If you know about the swab test coming up, then my best advice, of course, is to get clean for (at least) one week prior. Use hydrogen peroxide or LISTERINE as a mouthwash for about one minute after brushing your WHOLE mouth(dont forget to floss ;D ). I would use the brown or blue listerine.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHEN your swab test will be: then invest in a travel size bottle of listerine (and toothbrush too, if you feel like) they are cheap and worth it. I have heard that even listerine pocket strips work okay if you are not a regular smoker. Good Luck.
August 20th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
My best advice for marijuana smokers with a swab drug test is to not smoke for about seven days prior (even three days is good) drink plenty of water these days before and brush entire mouth and rinse with blue or brown listerine before test. >>works for me<<
IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE…keep a travel sized bottle of listerine with or without a toothbrush. Rinse for @ least a minute.(dont swallow)
My friend Mike is a heavy guy that smokes every other day, and he keeps a listerine pocket pack with him at work. He has passed by slipping a few of these in his mouth while waiting for the test to be preformed.
GOOD LUCK- –SUPPORT REFORM! Legalize it!
August 23rd, 2009 at 4:38 pm

August 26th, 2009 at 5:03 pm
The Last time I smoked weed was 24 hours ago. I have a mouth swab test in about 12. That makes only 36 hours. What I have read so far seem to be 24-48 hours till clear time. I am still nervous. I would like to hear from someone on thier experience. Did you pass within the 48 hour limit with just brushing?
August 28th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
yes it does work even if you have taken any drug hours b4 u will pass!
August 30th, 2009 at 10:20 pm
OK. I have to do a drug test in 5 days. Does the whole peroxide thing work with doing pills as it does smoking weed or will it only work for smoking. I am going to obviously quit my 5 days prior but i know certain pills stay in your system longer than 3 days were as narcotics only stay 3 days. However..I have also heard that if you use a lot everday it will take longer than 3 days to get it out of your system. Does anyone know? This job is really important to me and I really need to pass this one. Any info would help. Thanks.
September 1st, 2009 at 10:56 am
i have to take a saliva test tomorrow morning which is wednesday..the last time i smoked was sunday afternoon. i’ve never takena saliva drug test before. so i need to know what i can do to make sure i pass this test…it sounds like the peroxide and brushin your whole mouth will work..but should i do it tonight, or right before i go?
September 2nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
It’s been 12 days since I smoked marijuana. I took the swab test today, but before I went to take it I threw up. I brushed my teeth a lot to get rid of any stomach acid. Should I worry about passing?
September 3rd, 2009 at 8:05 am
I work for child protective services. Swab test only go back three days and weed is gone in 12-24 hours. We are trained on she test extensively
September 8th, 2009 at 6:36 am
I was on here a couple of months ago asking if anyone had success with STINGER mouthwash to pass a saliva test. Good news everyone, it does. I used it as directed along with drinking 3/4-1 gal. of water and used a product to clean out my urine. I know Dee has said water and cleaning out your urine doesn’t affect a saliva test, but I just want to let everyone know exactly what I did to pass my saliva test. I smoke everyday and I did stop for 4 days before my test. STINGER mouthwash does work for us potheads. So pass it on!
September 8th, 2009 at 10:59 am
That’s great that you passed, Duston! But if you stopped smoking for 4 days, you would have passed even if you did nothing. On-site saliva tests (which don’t get sent off to a lab for the hyper-sensitive GCS test) only detect use in the past 1-3 days at the most.
September 8th, 2009 at 11:16 am
i am on felony probation i have been for 2 years over something i never committed was just around, and have 2 more years left. I hear everyone sayin, that swabs r so easy to pass… I have failed 10 of the swab tests i have tried everything from bleach, brushing, peanut butter, and alot more everyone around me passes them like my cousin has failed one and smoked right before he went in and everything they locked me up for smokein pot and i smoked lastnight and a week ago before that and i have a probtion meetin in a hour or so i am kinda worried. so swish peroxide for a minute before i go in and i should be good right???? i dont need to go to jail ne more and not see my beautiful daughter ne will be helpful thanks.. countryman

September 18th, 2009 at 2:14 am
I had a drug test on Moday and stopped smoking on the Thursday prior. I began to exercise like crazy begining friday, hour of calastenics and running about 1.5 miles every night instead of smoking (very hard at first, I wanted to say fuck it and roll a blunt). Over the weekend I drank maybe 4 gallons of water and 2 gallons of cranberry and ate non fat foods and rasin bran cereal (high fiber) with little milk. The morning of my drug test (4 hours prior) I drank 2 32oz gatorades and refilled them with water and drank those too, (urinating as much as possible) all while every hour I took 2 advil and 3 tums. I was trying to dilute my urine test. I smoke everyday so this was my only choice. I get there and I had to shit and piss like crazy. As I’m holding it in, the employer brings out a saliva test! Fuck! I thought for sure I was doomed… I talked and asked random questions during and was extra friendly hoping that the testor would overlook results just incase, but I passed. Hope this helps.
September 18th, 2009 at 9:30 pm

I PASSED!!!!
October 9th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Im taking saliva test in few days. I have smoked pot everyday for 14 years, the highest grade quality for 12 years. I must have the highest concentration humanly possible. I will have been off the smoke for approx 5 days before test. I brush and floss like mad, drink enough water to kill a whale(or until you feel bloated), 500 mg niacin each day for 3 days(i dont know why i dont really believe it works, im just desperate), hydrogen peroxide when i brush, exercise and sweating. I will also use a saliva drug test mouth wash before taking it. Oh fuq me, im nervous. Wish me luck. I will post the results next week.
October 9th, 2009 at 2:59 pm
As for urine tests, stop being idiots. Get clean urine from someone, hide it in your underwear in slim small container(got mine at REI) so not visible, make sure its heated to 90 or so with heat pack,temp strips work well to show actual temp, and put it in the cup as if it was your urine. wa la you pass everytime. advice: at the test, be friendly, confident, look nice, and be super sneaky. This works everythime, but if they stand behind you or make you change clothes your in trouble. This method works, dont waste time or money on detox crap. They usually fail, and the stress involved in being unsure sucks.
October 9th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Im reading through these comments, no one ever says if they passed the tests. what the hell is that. useless sob’s. please leave feedback on your results.
October 17th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

October 20th, 2009 at 1:22 am
Hey guys I’ve read through all these posts and yea it kinda pisses me off when people don’t post their results like they say they do. I’m a heavy smoker, I’ve been smoking weed every single day about 3 or 4 bowls and I want to apply for this job that I know does swabs. Today is Tuesday morning 2:18am and the last time I smoked was Sunday morning around 2am. I’m going to do the peroxide thing and try and play basketball everyday to sweat as much as I can and I will 4sure post my results of the swab test when I take it I promise.
October 20th, 2009 at 1:25 am
I forgot to say that I don’t know when the swab test will be because I haven’t applied for the job yet because I don’t want them to test me before my week of not smoking is up. But I’m planning on calling them friday to setup an appointment time that way it will be at least a week before I take the test. Will keep you all posted, wish me luck.
October 20th, 2009 at 9:24 am

I smoked Saturday for the first time in 4.5 years and was around a bunch of smokers Sunday night. I’m pretty sure I have a drug test Thursday. If I just brush my teeth and drink lots of water I should be fine right?
October 20th, 2009 at 11:22 am
