How to test negative for cannabis saliva testing?

Members Lounge

Hello fellow growers. So, my country is going quite hard on traffic enforcement and roadside drug testing lately, despite it being ‘legal’ lol. What a joke, there’s more enforcement on it now rather than when it was illegal. Just announced yesterday that police now even have the right for random roadside drug testing even without probable suspicion. They will be using saliva kits. Anyone know any ways how to false negative these things?

From a Google search I found these options:
-Brush your teeth
-Listerine mouthwash (any flavours better than others at concealing this like peppermint for example?)
-Chewing gum (same question about flavours)

Anyone ever tried these or know of better options? Brushing your teeth and Listerine aren’t really an option if I’m already out and smoke outside :confused:

Thanks in advance as always for any suggestions. So much stigma, can’t let a brother go to a bbq and smoke a joint in peace.

Wow, that sucks and isn’t right!
What country is this, if you don’t mind sharing.

Ignore my question on which country, I respect your/our privacy.

Seems like it’s being treated like DUI alcohol testing; while driving intoxicated or distracted isn’t good, my biggest concern is with inappropriate policing/powers, it easily can be and is abused, especially the given powers without probable suspicions or a good, needed cause. Anyway, 'nuff said, I’ll stop there. :upside_down_face:

I passed one while holding a small sip of Monster Energy in between my cheek and gum

Thanks, I appreciate this, that’s very considerate.

It is being treated as such, but the difference is tolerance and the unfairness in the length of time the test reads back to vs how long you stay high. I read that some tests read back till 8 hours, I surely would have sobered up way before that and could still test positive which as you said in your first post, isn’t right. Also with how high my tolerance is (daily stoner for 20 years), I’m not a threat on the roads and am fully functional. It was suggested here that they do ‘impairment testing’ which I agree with, but wasn’t given much attention unfortunately.

Didn’t even think of this and this is a very good point and a very sad reality of things to come.

During the test or before? The cops surely won’t allow us to visibly drink something before a test here.

That stinks! Today is the first I’ve heard of such thing as the saliva test, and it is very unfortunate that it’s as crappy on tolerance and length of time as the urine test in that regard. :enraged_face:

It’s worse, because they can just ask you to spit (maybe while still in your car), not pee by the side of the road, which would be problematic in many ways.

MJ can’t and shouldn’t be treated like alcohol, don’t those people know that by now, or do they care.

In the recent past, I’ve heard of cops being trained for doing impairment testing, and that’s really what they should focus on.

Mouth wash seems to be the best thing to falsify the test.,according to google.
I’ve never had the issue with a weed saliva test yet.But years ago I was pulled over for possible dwi .I was drinking but not crazy.Anyway I chewed on a piece of garlic .The trooper said you smell like garlic and I told him I was at Grandmas for dinner.Then he asked where I was going and I said home to brush my teeth.It worked.
I have a thing I do with drinking,have one ,special occasions have two but never 3.

Don’t use mouth wash you will fail for alcohol…

Peroxide a small amount in your mouth while you take the test or a mouth full swoosh it an spit it out B4 cop gets to your door.

I’ve passed over 100 using this method never once did I fail.

Im talking for jobs, probation, you name it I’ve always passed using peroxide

Wow, you guys go through some shit. Here, you first have to commit a crime or traffic infractions before they can test you. Just random drug test like they’re giving you wouldn’t hold up in court as it’s a violation of your constitutional rights.

I’m a firm believer, if you’re driving drunk you’re putting yourself and others at risk you should be held accountable (that’s putting it nicely) if you’re driving stoned on weed you’re putting yourself and others at risk and should be held accountable.

If you’re a long haired hippie like me and one just assumes I smoke weed, you have no right or reason to test me.

Thanks for the replies everyone, and sorry for taking so long to reply. I’m just relying on public transport and ubers for now if I have to go out at night after I smoked. Thinking that’s the safest way to tackle this for now. My partner is going to start learning to drive and we could get around this problem that way (she doesn’t smoke so if they test her she’s always clean).

@Twelve1 the situation really does suck, and all your points are valid. We are hoping that our cannabis activist group here can manage to push for impairment testing instead.

I agree that MJ and alcohol shouldn’t be treated the same. I can drive in a straight line after 5 joints no problem, but back when I used to drink after a few drinks I start swerving out of my lane. It really does affect your hand eye coordination so much worse.

@Mateo That’s what I read as well, but as @DanB pointed out you’d need to make sure you use a non-alcoholic mouthwash to avoid testing negative for alcohol then. I also read that chewing gum helps. Haha that’s a lucky story with the garlic, glad you managed to give them the slip that time and avoided trouble :laughing:

@DanB Thanks for this suggestion, it is greatly appreciated, the problem is it’s tough to pull this off once you’re surrounded by like 6 cops in a roadblock :confused: And I’ll get questioned for why there is hyrodgen peroxided in the car I imagine, especially with the emphasis they are making all of a sudden on this road testing. Easier in a probabation situation or bathroom where I could prepare for it beforehand.

@Lostgirl Yes I agree, it suddenly got really tough here and I really think this is against human rights honestly. It used to be as you stated, where you’d have to commit a crime or accident to get tested (which I agree with, especially if the accident cost someone’s life). Unfortunately that will hold up in court here, it was just advised :frowning: Instantly after a positive saliva test, you’ll be arrested and dragged to the station and urine and blood samples will be taken, from there you’ll lose your license for a year apart from a hefty fine.

I agree with you about it not being right that somoene drives if they are a threat to others. I don’t want to be a danger to others, or myself. That is why impairment testing should be done to gauge how unfit someone is to drive, rather than a random saliva test that could mark back to at least 8 hours since my last joint which I’ve fully sobered up from by then.

Thanks for the insight and conversation everyone :slight_smile:

We have had road side drug and alcohol testing for years. The cops pull you over and breathalyze you, then give you a plastic stick to drag across your tongue 3 times. They take the stick back and wait a few minutes to see if anything shows up. If it does you get taken back to the van and tested again.

There’s no way to beat the test kits and they usually pick up any THC in your system and it can be from a week ago (most times they only pick up the last couple of days but it depends on how well your body removes it from your system). The problem with the tests is it doesn’t tell the cops how much THC is in your system so that’s why they take you to the van and do a second test, which gets sent off to a lab and the results come back a few weeks later. If you are below the limit you’re fine, but if you’re above it, you get done.

Best way to avoid getting done for driving under the influence is to avoid using for at least 24 hours before going out.

I was on state probation they send the test out for results, peroxide on a mouth swab will will pass every time. I would smoke on my way to probation and gargled peroxide and passed every time.

@randylilgnome thank you for the explanation, it is similar here, just taken to the station instead of the van for follow up tests. We had alcohol breathalyzers, but saliva kits are just newly introduced.

This is impossible for me man, I’m a daily smoker. Need to go out for work the next day anyway.

@DanB glad to hear you managed to dupe them for so long and not get in trouble, especially on probation. Hydrogen peroxide, what strength? 3%? Straight or diluted in water? That might be feasible if mixed in with water in a drinking flask or water bottle to not show what it is.

Only issue with peroxide is goes a to water state very quickly more dilution quicker it goes if indeed it was diluted.

Was not diluted and I used 3%. Same as if you gargled it for mouth care.

Could get a drinking bottle like one for biking or something and put it in that. Just a quick splash gargle and spit.

Thanks for the suggestions and clarifications @DanB @Bentstick

Yeah, I was thinking of putting a first aid kit in the car and putting the peroxide in there but I need quick access to it. The biker’s flask suggestion seems the best, just have that on the front console easily accessible in the few seconds chance the cops will give me before being pulled over. Thanks for confirming it needs to be 3% and not diluted at all.

Appreciate all the help everyone, you’re awesome! Greatly appreciate everyone’s time :slight_smile:
