Hi I'm new and I hope you get this before you have to go or help someone..
Saliva tests are able to detect more recent use than other drug testing procedures and are able to detect use within the past few days. These tests are very product specific because there are no nationally accepted standards or cutoff concentrations for detection. The test does require lab processing to ensure that the test is accurate. These tests are also the hardest to manipulate but ..see this:
Detection Period by Cannabis
· Single Use
1. Blood Test: 2-3 days
2. Saliva Test: 12-24 hours
3. Urine Test: 2-3 days
4. Hair Test: Up to 90 days
· Habitual Use
1. Blood Test: 2 weeks
2. Saliva Test: 12-24 hours
3. Urine Test: Up to 12 weeks
4. Hair Test: Up to 90 days
Also...It is important to understand that what is being tested for varies greatly depending on who is performing the test, the cost of the test, the expectations and federal requirements. Some businesses may also have their own personal drug testing rules as well. Federal government guidelines require that those who hold a commercial drivers license and work for a business where they will be driving a commercial vehicle have a drug testing system in place. If you are in the professional driving profession, you will need to pay special attention to the type of testing that your company requires. The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) requires that companies test for five specific categories of drugs. Most drug testing companies will provide a test that checks for all five categories. These five categories include:
· Cocaine Includes Cocaine, Crack and Benzoylecognine
· Cannabinoids Includes Marijuana and Hash
· Amphetamines Includes Speed, Methamphetamines and amphetamines
· Opiates Includes Heroin, Opium, Codeine and Morphine
· Phencyclidine PCP
Depending on what profession you are in or what business or governmental department you are required to take a drug test for, there may be expansion tests required. These test for additional drugs such as:
· Barbiturates Including Phenobarbital, Scorbarbitol and Butalbital
· Hydrocodone Including Vicodin and Lortab
· Mehqualone Known most commonly as Quaaludes or Ludes
· Benzodiazepines Includes Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax and Rohypnol
· Methadone
· Propoxyphene Includes Darvon compounds
· Ethanol Known as Alcohol
· MDMA or Ecstasy
Drugs that can be tested for, but are not commonly tested for include:
· LSD
· Tryptamines Including Psilocybin, AMT, DMT, DPT, 5-MeO-DiPT
· Phenethylamines Including Mescaline, MDMA, MDA, MDE, 2C-B, 2C-T-7
· Inhalants Including Toluene, Xylene and Benzene
