Brief Answer:
12 - 24 hours is the usual detection time...
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Salivary THC testing has much lower sensitivity than the urine / blood / hair tests. The usual time frame for detection for cannabis by the salivary swab test is 12 to 24 hours. However, in chronic or high quantity users , this may be higher (upto 3 days). So, if your test is within 24 hours, I would say 'fingers crossed'. Unfortunately, using methods like water pills, etc. don't really help in passing the test.
Wish you all the best.
