When tetrahidrocannabinol enters the body, <strong>it is absorbed through some tissues and organs<\/strong>, being metabolized in your liver, and forming metabolites: 11-hydroxy-THC and carboxy-THC. These metabolites <strong>can be easily flushed out<\/strong> in the form of urine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With time, THC is stored in our body tissues <strong>to be released into the bloodstream<\/strong>, where it\u2019s metabolized again. In usual smokers, this compound builds up quicker than it\u2019s flushed out. This is the reason why<strong> it is possible to test positive, even days after <\/strong>consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_THC_stay_in_your_saliva\"><\/span><strong>How long does THC stay in your saliva?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cannabis is composed of hundreds of different compounds that are metabolized by the <strong>endocannabinoid system at different rates<\/strong>. When smoking, the THC enters the bloodstream directly, which means that it reaches the climax <strong>between 3 and 10 minutes<\/strong> after. On the other hand, when consuming edibles, it can take 1 or two hours till it crosses into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different researches had shown that individuals tested positive in the THC test, <strong>13.5 hours after smoking<\/strong> regardless of how often they consumed cannabis. After this time, in the case of casual users, THC levels decreased, while in usual users they remained high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a similar way, CBD and CBN levels also <strong>started to slowly decrease among usual marijuana consumers<\/strong>, even if these compounds are barely undetectable after 6 and 10.5 hours, respectively. Generally, any trace of THC disappears <strong>after 8-12 hours<\/strong>, when it\u2019s absorbed into the bloodstream. Thus, saliva tests lose their effectiveness after 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.growbarato.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/duracion-thc-en-saliva.jpg-1.webp\" alt=\"Duraci\u00f3n del THC en saliva\" title=\"Duraci\u00f3n del THC en saliva\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_that_determine_how_long_does_THC_stay_in_your_saliva\"><\/span><strong>Factors that determine how long does THC stay in your saliva<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The amount and quality of the consumed marijuana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each user metabolism and consumption frequency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much time has elapsed after consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User\u2019s weight and physical activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These elements may change between every user&#8217;s waiting time before taking the test.

That\u2019s why this is one of the most used ones either on the road or in the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saliva tests need a great amount of saliva, so it can take from 1 to 3 minutes to obtain it. The production will depend on <strong>different factors such as anxiety, hunger or the use of medicines<\/strong>. This test can detect the presence of alcohol, weed, amphetamines and other narcotics, as well as some prescription medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, <strong>the initial immunoassay screen<\/strong> is positive above the regulatory cutoff for THC metabolite of 50 ng\/mL, but the confirmatory test has a THC metabolite concentration below 15 ng\/mL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_reduce_THC_content_in_your_saliva\"><\/span><strong>How to reduce THC content in your saliva?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There aren\u2019t many ways to quickly remove the THC in our saliva.
