SALIVA TESTING

[asbu]

Hi, I am from Australia and as of 2 days ago our state government has introduced random roadside saliva testing for all cannabis and methamphetamine users. Now, I'm not really into speed so I'm not too worried, but I do enjoy a once-weekly smoke with a couple of friends, after smoking daily for about 6 years. Any suggestions on how to beat the test? Does anyone know how long after use cannabis still registers? The fines are steep and I don't want to lose my licence either. I am desperate and don't believe thet gargling bleach can be the only answer!!!!

www.passmypisstest.com (http://www.passmypisstest.com)The FDA has recently given Epitope, Inc approval to begin manufacturing saliva test. In a study using RIA (Radioimmunoassay) test, cannabinoids were detected in saliva 4 to 10 hours after subjects smoked a single marijuana joint. Epitope has recently developed a test which detects drugs or their metabolites in saliva. However, this sort of test is limited to detecting very recent drug use. In one study, saliva testing was only able to detect cannabinoids 4-10 hours after the subjects had been smoking. It is likely that this test will be confined to detecting current intoxication only.

â??Saliva testing has been touted as a "fitness for duty" test, as its window of detection begins as soon as a drug is ingested. Saliva tests will reveal only current or very recent (within the past twelve hours) marijuana use, but will detect use of cocaine, opiates, methamphetamine and Ecstasy over the past two to three days (urine will detect these drugs for three or four days after use). Saliva is typically experienced as cleaner and less intrusive than urine, and there are currently no known methods for defeating saliva testing. Saliva testing is useful for pre-employment, random, post-accident and for-cause testing. Both lab-based and on-site systems are available; the on-site system offers results ten minutes after taking the saliva sample. Saliva tests compare favorably in price to urine testing. "

In oral fluid, drugs will be detected within minutes after use.

In urine, drugs will remain undetected in the first 4-8 hours.

Marijuana 12-24 hrs
Opiates 24-48 hrs
Amphetamine 24-48 hrs
Methamphetamine 24-48 hrs
Cocaine 12-24 hrs
Saliva testing for drugs of abuse can provide both qualitative and quantitative information on the drug status of an individual undergoing testing. Self-administration by the oral, intranasal, and smoking routes may result in contamination of the oral cavity. Generally, the level of drug detected in the oral cavity is related to the relative acidity of the saliva and there are established chemical relationships that can be used to estimate the blood level once the saliva level and its relative acidity are known. Since there is a high correlation of saliva drug concentrations with plasma, the application of saliva testing for drugs of abuse may be successfully utilized in a variety of applications, including the following:

Detection - employment, health exams, insurance
Treatment - diagnosis, compliance, abstinence
Forensics - reasonable suspicion testing, DUI, evidence investigation
