Split from Saliva Results thread.

[pagemap]

I went in today for my first day of work, and I didn't think this company tested because there is no mention of it anywhere on the employment section of their website, so I figured I was in the clear...

Anyways I show up today and the HR lady is there with two testing kits. At the time I wasn't sure what type of test they were. I was somewhat worried at this point as I had just smoked a few bowls the night before with my roommate. We usually share about 3-4 bowls of high-quality herb each evening. She asks who wants to go first, and both of us shrug our shoulders, and she asks the other guy to go first (lucky me!!!). I am waiting in the lobby and I notice the other guy with something sticking out of his mouth, so I figured it was a saliva test. Seeing this I immediately went to the restroom and rinsed out my mouth, and then wiped the inside dry with paper towels.

She calls me in for the test at noon, almost exactly 12 hours after I had last smoked. I swab the stick around my mouth for three minutes, being careful to not get too much saliva on the stick. At the end of three minutes I must not have had enough saliva on the stick because she wasn't able to get a reading. She said she would have to test me another day.

So, after this test I came home at lunch and found grillmeats thread. Next time I take the test I am sure the HR lady will make sure the stick is fully saturated, so I am abstaining from smoking in the meantime.

A couple questions:

-- Using your method, is it safe to saturate the testing stick fully?
-- Should I still try to drink a lot of water in the days before the test, or will that cause my mouth to be too wet at testing time?

THANKS!!

Yes, by not smoking you will pass, water would only help if it were urine they wanted

I found out Saturday morning that I would be taking the OrAlert saliva test Tuesday afternoon (which has results in 10 mins). I obviously abstained at that point, followed the steps the day of the test, and passed! YaHooooooooooo! Now where is my chicken dinner because I'm really hungry if you know what I mean!

Edit: I did take the survey.

Is this a test that tells your employer that you passed or failed w/o using a Lab?

I smoked a bowl of good s*** on Sunday night at 9pm. I typically take 2 to 5 tokes every other day. The very next Morning, I got the call offerring me employment at a great job contingent upon me passing a saliva test, and the test was scheduled for that Wednesday at 9am. I've never taken a drug test, since I've worked for the same company for 12 years, so I was freaking hard and began reading everything I possibly could to find out more about the test, how to pass it, and what my chances might be. 10 days passed, with no word on my results. So I called my soon-to-be-employer, just to "check-in", since I was do to start my first day VERY soon. No mention was made at all about the test (or the results) and all seemed on the right track. Two days later, I received a letter from my new employer formally welcoming onboard with the company!

Here's exactly what I did:
1. I did not smoke at all (until after the test)
2. I brushed me teeth and flossed regularly (I didn't want to over-do-it and cause any gum-bleeding that could possibly mess up my results)
3. The only thing I added was to do the Listerine Pre-brush Whitening Mouth Wash the 3 days prior to taking the test
4. The morning of the test, I began sucking on Altoids continuously about 1 1/2 hours before the test, and continued doing so up until just before enterring the testing facility
5. Whether or not this helped out at all is anyone's guess, but I also bought Spit N Kleen mouthwash online and paid an extra $30 to have it shipped overnight delivery. I pounded the bottle in one swig, and swished it around in my mouth for about 10 minutes, then I spit it out in the parking lot of the test facility.
Good luck to all of you!

Congratulations, and Please fill out the poll, if you haven't already.

The Spit N' Clean water, didn't help you pass, but because you did they will keep on selling it.

$90 UPS NEXT DAY from them.

You passed because you were focused on passing the test.

I ordered the Spit N Kleen product and had it sent overnight. I brushed and gargled this morning twice, used the Spit N Kleen as directed and ate 5 Altoids before entering the facility. I passed the saliva test with no problems. I also wanted to let everyone know that I read that THC is only detectable in oral fluids for up to 14 hours after use...I copied and pasted the paragraph below. I also pasted a paragraph that I found on the Nrml.org website in regards to THC and saliva tests. Good news for us!!

The Spit and Klean was a waste of money
But Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

Thanks for the hints though anyway, everybody. I'm going to go fill out a bunch of applications elsewhere now because at the moment I am currently unemployed.

I am sorry you found us after you needed to. I know you will rise again to fight another day. If it makes you feel better, I had to let 2 clerks go because of Back Round Checks! They passed the test and had a Felony Backround. Don't steal from your Employer. It could be a Felony (w/o you knowing) You Are Charged With A Felony! Don't sign "Discharge Paperwork, it could mean your FUTURE"
