I'll take a saliva test over a urine test anyday. The saliva test can only detect marijuana use up to 6 hours, 24 for other drugs. Beats them looking into my past up to 30 days. Assuming they'll only use this in situtations where they could have forced you to pee in a cup anyway, its a net win. Of course, once they figure this out, they'll stop using it and go back to the pee standard.

The lack of a test for impairment has been one of the claims used against legalization for years. One more reason to continue the war on pot falls by the wayside. Six hours seems a little long if it's testing for impairment, might need some fine tuning to comply with alcohol standards.

I guess by this reasoning, the pee test is the "gold standard" of impairment tests?
