SALIVA TESTS and DRIVING

Weed can stay in your system for a very long time compared to most drugs. Usually 24hrs-30days. In saliva I would probably say less than an hour or 2 max... You could just drink/eat something though and then you would probably show up clean.

 

I would not go as far to say the roadside drug testing is bullshit.
The police are not targeting people who smoke weed their targeting every drug user eg.. coke..heroin ect... and if they did it in england i would welcome it especially as it would make the streets safer and thus safer for my children to walk down them.

 

That's a fucked up law, I can't believe they can do that. That seems like such a strange law.

 

THC metabolites can express themselves in saliva, effectively for a test, for 24-48 hours (some people have reported failing them in a longer time frame, but everyone is unique so)

Im currently on swabs for probation, and they are GCMS swabs, not just a "put this in your mouth and it will tell me if you have been smoking"

I have yet to fail one, ive also never smoked with 24 hours of one... but i have definitely smoked within 48 hours of one...

the thing with saliva is unlike urine its coming directly from a gland in which the THC metabolites are being pulled out of the blood, while you will have thc in the blood for a good long time, its not in amounts large enough to be detected through secretions from glands for very long....

If i was you i would buy myself some home test strips... and do some experimenting to see how your body personally reacts... you never know, you could fail one 2 days after your last hit... that would suck

 

Yeah that bit is a bit sucky for you i agree but they are trying to target people who are being wreckless and driving while under the influence of drugs.

I totally agree with that law and would welcome it in england.

My children are very precious to me also my wife and my family and in fact i would not want to see anyone injured or even dead being being an innocent bystander in a car accident that was a direct result from a drug user being high while driving.

 

You can fail when you are sober though.... that's the issue

 

So you'd still be cool with a law like this if say you drink one night dont drive and just go to sleep, the next mourning you take your family to the store and just so happen to get pulled over and tested. Since you could still test for positive for alcohol then you go to jail and get charged with endangering your kids and DUI. Yeah that law works great.

 

I dont drink anymore.
Plus when I did drink the night before I never drove in the morning because you can still be intoxicated without even knowing therefore endangering yourself and others, so yeah i still agree with the law on drugs tests for drivers. I used to either get my wife to drive or just dont drive at all, or dont drink the night before its simple.

As i sed it sucks for weed smokers, because the thc stays in your fat for quite a while ( i think thats right ) so you can still get a positive result but if it stops people that are genuinely high and potentially dangerously driving at the same time I agree with it.

I cant see the problem with protecting the public.

 

It won't stop any one.... driving drunk has been illegal for a long time.... it still happens regularly

 

Its messed up when protecting the public also gets people into trouble for doing nothing. Since cars cause so many deaths might as well get rid of them just think of all the people it'll save.

 

The world is dangerous. There is no way around this.

 

but people when caught do get arrested and lose their license its a system that works

Remarkable fall in drink drive fatalities

This proves the system does work and that drink drivers are in decline.
Besides this isnt about drink its about drugs which is just as dangerous when driving.

 

I agree from now on we must all travel in tubes!!!! lol ( get the scientists working on the tube technology immediatly)

 

Fuck Australian laws.

 

That's ffff'd up man.

 

Lol you think that's bad? Some US states are working on adopting laws where they can blood test you

You can fail a blood for up to 60 days after smoking
