Question:
My job is about to do cotton swab drug testing. and I was wondering how long marijuana stays in saliva?
They are random drug tests. lucky for me I know when the tests are. but I've heard that saliva testing isn't as good a detecting marijuana and can really only detect it for a couple of days, or 1-14 hours. I was wondering if any on else has heard differently or has any of there own experiences with this test . any info would be appriciated
Answers:
Drinking A Great Deal of Water is Detectable. Some people drink copious amounts of water. A sufficiently diluted sample may be rejected due to its lack of Creatinine. Creatinine is a natural protein created by the body and is usually excreted in the urine at fairly constant concentrations. When the urine is diluted by frequent urination, the creatinine level in the urine will drop. Creatinine levels can be tested for and a low creatinine level may indicate you have attempted to flush your system. If the product does not reestablish your overall normal balance, including Creatinine, you fail.

The Second Type Of Analysis Is For Hair. Hair analysis is very accurate and can show any controlled substances used in a sort of timeline. As hair grows out, contaminates are encased in the hair shaft, so the longer ones hair the longer back a detection can occur.
Most facilities only use hair within about 3 - 5 cm of the scalp, and discard the rest. This limits the detection history to about 90 days. Some people attempt to circumvent this through shaving their heads. Well, any body hair can be used as an acceptable substitute. Click here for more detailed information on > Hair Drug Tests <.
The Third Type Of Analysis is for Blood. Blood analysis is usually performed for serious employment positions or when you are applying for insurance policies. This is expensive and not very common.
The Fourth Type Of Analysis is for Saliva. This is not common and can only detect toxins used 3 - 4 days prior.
