‘How to pass a saliva drug test for marijuana?’ is one of the most popular questions we have received from users on our website. Luckily compared to urine and hair drug tests, the saliva drug test for marijuana is the easiest drug test to pass.
However, if you are not properly informed about, and prepared for, the saliva (swab) drug test, you might easily fail it.
There are two facts you need to take into consideration if you want to pass your saliva drug test.
These are:
One: Marijuana can be detected in saliva tests up to 24 hours after your last joint. So, if your last joint was more than 24 hours before your saliva drug test, you most likely will pass.
If you abstain from marijuana for at least 48 hours before your test, you have a ‘very high chance’ of passing. Moreover, you need to brush your teeth and gums thoroughly and use a mouthwash like Listerine several times in order to get rid of any trace of marijuana.
If you want make sure your saliva is “clean”, you should take a saliva oral liquid screening kit test at home.
The kit detects the presence of marijuana in less than 10 minutes. Checking yourself before the actual saliva drug test will give you peace mind.
Two: An employer can administer a saliva drug test on you at your job site any time without any prior notification. Therefore, it is imperative to be prepared for a test all the times. Companies prefer using the saliva drug test because they can “catch” employees by surprise at any moment.
If your employer informs you few days before the drug test, you just need to stay away from marijuana till after the test.
But, if you are caught by “surprise”, you need to have a product specifically designed to pass a saliva drug test handy at all times.
Some users cannot stay away from marijuana, even for a day. So, they need additional help to pass a test.
It is imperative to note that if you smoke marijuana less than 24 hours before your saliva drug test, using only regular mouthwash products is the wrong approach for passing the test.
We have seen posted on numerous blogs users mention using swish hella mouthwash (containing alcohol), Listerine, Hydrogen Peroxide or sucking mint candies. This was not helpful and they failed the test.
What Actually Happening During the Saliva Drug Test?
During the saliva drug test, a tester uses a swab to collect saliva. The swab is placed between the lower cheek and gums for a few minutes. Once the saliva is collected, the swab is sealed in a plastic container and sent to the testing center.
There are many products on the market that will help you mask your saliva in order to pass a saliva drug test.

If i smoked this morning at around 7 and have a swab test tomorrow at 11 in the morning and I have brushed for at least 2 minutes and used mouthwash before brushing and after all day what are my odds of passing? I’m gonna keep doing this all night and before I take the test in the morning and use listerine strips before I go in?
DetoxJohn says
Max..I think your chances of passing your swab test tomorrow are 60/40. Keep brushing your teeth and gums.
Good luck with your test tomorrow.

Josh says
If I smoke 48 hours before my test and keep my mouth clean using brushing and strong mouthwash what are my chances of passing a saliva text?
DetoxJohn says
Josh..Your chances of passing your saliva test should be good. But to be on the safe side, you should abstain from using marijuana for at least 72 hours especially if you will have a Lab swab test.
Hope this help,

Joseph says
I smoked a small bowl at 12:00pm and I have a drug test tomorrow for a oral swab. I’m using Apple cider vinegar while brushing my teeth will I pass?
DetoxJohn says
Joseth.. If you will abstain from marijuana at least 24 hours since your last time of you, your odds of passing your saliva test should be good. I would recommend using a strong mouthwash like Listerine instead of Apple cider though.
Hope this helps and good luck with your test tomorrow,

Caleb says
Do you have any idea how saliva test react to concentrate or edible use? I personally have only used concentrate recently, and can stop for a job interview. But I don’t know if the timeframe for being clean on a mouth swab is the same across the different methods of consumption.
DetoxJohn says
Caleb..The time frame for a saliva drug test is the same for all different methods of consumption.
However in the case of consuming edibles, it is extremely important to brush your teeth very well and gargle with a strong mouthwash or 3% hydrogen peroxide several times in order to insure you have removed all traces of the edibles.
Hope this helps.

Caleb says

DetoxJohn says
I am glad I could help Caleb.. Good luck with your test.

Rob says
Okay so I smoked last night at like 2am and I have a drug test tomorrow at 2pm what do you think my chances are?
DetoxJohn says
Rob..If you have only 12 hours until your test, your odds of passing your saliva test would be pretty low. I would recommend rescheduling your test at least for 24 hours. This should help to drop your THC levels below cutoff levels. Hope this helps and good luck with your test. DetoxJohn
Alexandra says
I haven’t smoke in 4 days and I have a swab test tomorrow at 9am, what are the chance of me passing? I also went to the dentist and had a deep cleansing and was given medicine around my gum line. I’ve brushed and use Listerine twice today,
DetoxJohn says
Alexandra..I think your chances of passing your swab test tomorrow are very good. Hope this helps, DetoxJohn
DJK says
HI, I use CBD flower daily if i stop 24 hours before my drug test do you think i will pass the mouth swab.
DetoxJohn says
DJK.. As usually CBD flower contains less than 0.3% THC, your THC levels shouldn’t exceed cutoff levels. To be on the safe side I would recommend to stop using CBD flower 48 hours before your saliva test, brushing your teeth and gums properly and using a strong mouthwash like Listerine.
Hope this helps,
