Hey guys, I've got a question to how these roadside drug buses work.
I've never been drug tested myself but as far as I'm aware, the police use a saliva sample to detect illegal substances. I have a few questions.
Do they test for the drug itself, or for metabolites? More importantly, does the test prove that you are under the influence of a substance right then and now or will it also show up if you used something say on the weekend and get tested a few days later?
For example, if someone was to do MDMA or amphetamines on a Saturday night, then on Monday or Tuesday they get drug tested, will it come up positive? Cannabis is also meant to stay in your system for a while, does this mean it will show up with a police drug test if you haven't smoked that day?
Sometimes I get paranoid that something will come up positive days and weeks after I've used :/
