Speed Kills. That was an advertising slogan produced many years ago to convince people to drive slower and obey the speed limits.  It is also applicable to the use of amphetamines.  If you like rotten teeth and developing a psychosis then, by all means, amphetamines will give you guaranteed results in that department.

Now you have found out that the place where you work will be giving random saliva tests and you are worried that the amphetamines that you have taken will show up and you will lose your job because of it.

How long after taking amphetamines can they be detected in your saliva?  Detection times can vary depending on a few variables like your body weight, history of usage, the amount of amphetamines that you have consumed and even how you consumed them.  On average, for a single usage of amphetamines, they can be detected from twelve hours to twenty four hours.  For habitual usage the detection times may be greater.  Drug tests for saliva are becoming more popular because they are less intrusive, less expensive, and provide quicker results than other forms of drug tests.  For testing back further than a few hours or days, most companies would choose to implement blood or urine tests.  Saliva testing is more effective for opiates and methamphetamines than it is for THC.  It is also more effective for alcohol, cocaine, heroin and methadone.

Usually after an industrial accident a company will run a saliva test because it can be done on the spot without having to send the employee to a lab and wait for the results.  Police may conduct a saliva test after a traffic stop or accident as it will provide them with an accurate and quick method of finding out if the driver was under the influence while operating the vehicle.  If you think that you are going to be subjected to a random saliva test, then you should purchase a detox mouthwash to assure you will pass a test with just a few minutes notice.
