How accurate is the swab test for marijuana?

Answer 1

in my experience, not very.

i took one as a pre-employment requirement, after smoking heavily for 3 days during a going away party before i moved. i wasn't aware at the time that a test would be required so i was freaking out. the company did a swab test, and i passed! i quit, and a month later, went back to the same company. this time, i smoked a bowl on the way to the test.....and passed again.

i do smoke cigarettes, and from what I've gathered, brushing your teeth, mouthwash, smoking a cig, Chewing Gum, etc (essentially have anything in your mouth shortly before the test, in order to throw off the pH balance, will let you pass.) I've also known people that had serious amounts of xanax, hydrocodone, and oxycodone in their systems that passed as well.

Answer 2

It depends on how much you have smoked, when you smoked it, and how often you smoke marijuana. If you smoke regularly then it takes about a month to clear out of your system. If you only smoke occasionally then it should be out in about two weeks. The best ways to make sure you will pass is to: A. Get detox from your local health store. It comes in drinks and pills. B. Sweat it out by running or other types of cardio. C. Drink lots of water.

Answer 3

Depending on their cost, they are probably at least as accurate as the kits that law enforcement use for 'field test' purposes.

Answer 4

Pretty freakin accurate; more accurate than a urine test!
