Cannabis Saliva Test & Mouth Swab Drug Test

Generally, most saliva tests can detect signs of Cannabis within 24 hours of consumption. Some of the more sensitive tests can detect traces of Cannabis in saliva for up to 72 hours.

Traces of Cocaine can be picked up in a saliva test for up to two days after use. 

Gender

A person’s gender is an important factor to consider as women tend to have more body fat than men. Therefore they will not be able to metabolise and eliminate drugs from their system as quickly as men.

BMI

If a person has a higher BMI, they will likely have more fat cells in their body compared to individuals with a lower BMI. This is significant as the more fat cells a person has, the more likely it is that the physical elements of certain drugs will be stored in their body for longer.

Individual health

Health problems can also be a significant factor in increasing the time it takes a drug to leave a person’s body. Individuals with liver and kidney problems may find it takes their bodies longer to metabolise a drug and, therefore, will take longer to leave their system
