A member asked:

Having a salvia cotinine test to verify if i smoke tobacco, can marihuana be detected on this test for a daily user of marihuana ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Oral swabs or saliva tests are not as good for detecting cannabis as urine tests, but it will detect use, if they are using a kit that includes cannabis.
