Categories Salvia Test
The saliva test, in which a saliva swab is taken, ultimately works according to the same principle as a
wipe test. It can be applied to any surface. The specified substances can thus be detected within a reaction time of 3 to 5 minutes.
In Switzerland, the saliva test was introduced as drug rapid test in 2005. The saliva test is an immunological test that can detect amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, metamphetamines, opiates and phencyclidines. Theoretically. In Switzerland, in any case, the effect and effectiveness were soon questioned after the EU study "Rosita II" on the effectiveness of drug testing found that approximately 80% of cannabis users would get away with traffic control with impunity.
One of the reasons for this is that the cannabis active substance THC is not water-soluble and thus logically hardly occurs in saliva. The rapid drug test that can reliably detect THC is the urine test. However, only a blood test is legally binding.
