Will Marijuana Used 2 Weeks Before Test Show Up In Saliva Mouth Swab?

So i have smoked for the last 7 years. I have used dabs and ingested dab candy about 2 weeks ago. Overall it has been 10 days since i have used marijuana and i took a saliva mouth swab for a very inportant job this morning. Will i be able to pass this test with such heavy use even though it is a saliva test? Please help me thank you.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you have used marijuana since last 10 days and now you underwent swab test, need not to worry much as saliva test is mainly for detection of drugs like opiates. THC and cannabinoids use may go undetected with a saliva drug tests. They are not perceived as particularly reliable for the detection of either of these drugs.

Mainly drugs are found in saliva form 1- 5 days. Very rarely certain drugs stay up to 10 days. I think you will easily pass this test. All the best.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
