"As cannabis seems to be a popular drug in Ireland, there is an increase in roadside drug tests. Even though I am a non smoker, I was debating with a friend on how they would not pass a drug test if they were pulled over in the morning? They say that they were sober but I disagree. My question is, has any cannabis smoker passed a saliva test conducted by the garda? How accurate are those drug tests that they use?" Do you mean they had smoked the night before and you don't think they were sober the morning after? | |||

"I thought it could stay in your saliva for much longer?" I think it can be detected in blood a lot longer after than a saliva sample | |||

"I guess like alcohol it depends how much is smoked the night before. How much has entered the system will affect how long it is detectable. I bought test kits in the past, tested myself after a smoke and failed, tested myself morning after and passed. I'm sure if I was blood tested it would have shown up though. The kit can show which drug is in the system too" Would think the same Depending how much they ve taken | |||

"Ah right that makes sense to be fair? Are those drug tests that you got similar to what the garda uses?" I'm not sure what brand the guards use. But they weren't cheap and it was few years ago, they work the same way though as far as I know | |||

"I don't have much faith in any form of roadside testing. I was involved once in helping someone calibrate a breathalyser and despite the fact I have never once tasted alcohol in my life I was showing above the legal limit. I had a conversation with a member of the PSNI about a year later regarding other testing equipment and when I told him that story he wanted to verify it. He went and got 2 different breathalyser units and tested me and they both gave different readings but both showed me as once again over the legal limit. This wasn't at the roadside and he took me at my word that I have never taken alcohol and still haven't to this day but he was concerned at the readings and said he would take it up with his superiors and the manufacturers. It has always made me doubt the validity of any roadside tests. " Wow!! I heard of this happening before, scary!! | |||

It doesn't depend on how much you smoke, because the cannabinoid receptors become saturated quickly. Any extra you smoke just passes through you with no effect. | |||

"while saliva tests can only detect THC for a few hours. " Swab test is between 5 and 48hours for saliva. Blood test is a couple of days and urine could be as much as 90 days in heavy users. | |||

I'd get checked out! | |||

"There is an unfairness here because both the roadside tests and the blood tests will show positive results long after the impairment is gone and the individual is safe to drive. It's a tricky one " My thoughts too! | |||
