Can I Fail A Drug Test

Our oil contains virtually no THC, but there are trace amounts present. However, this amount is so low it would be extremely rare to show up on any drug test. The stories that cite users who failed a drug test usually recite the same few people who lost their jobs out of millions of other CBD users. This means it is not impossible to test positive, but they also do not state the DOSAGE they were taking.

How Much Does it Take to Fail?

With our lower levels of THC, most CBD consumers won’t have trouble passing a drug test. For those using extremely high levels of CBD or hemp oil, i.e., over 2,000 mg per day (which is equivalent to more than THREE of our 600MG bottles a day), it’s possible, though unlikely, that this could produce a “false positive” result on a drug test. Even then, a follow-up test can provide more conclusive results.

Drug screens are only searching for one specific cannabinoid when trying to determine whether the subject has been using THC. So no matter how much CBD is coursing through a person’s veins at the time of the test, it will not bring about a failed result. The only way the small amount of THC buried in hemp-based CBD products might be able to shine through and trigger a false positive is if a patient was consuming upwards of 1,000 milligrams a day. To put this into perspective, most of our CBD users consume an average of 15 to 80 milligrams daily.

Various Drug Test Types

Different types of drug tests have different detection thresholds. A hair test, for example, is designed to catch chronic substance use. So if your CBD oil only has trace amounts of THC in it (<0.3 percent is the standard amount if there’s any in it at all), and you’re not chugging it by the bottle, it still probably won’t show up in a hair test.

If you’re taking a urine or oral fluid test, the detection thresholds are even lower. Brenda Gannon, a toxicologist and laboratory director at Steep Hill Arkansas, says that “depending on a number of parameters—including amount consumed, how often one uses CBD products, and body composition—it is possible that these trace amounts of THC could accumulate and then be detected in a drug test.”

“It’s possible, but it’s highly unlikely,” concurs Jamie Corroon, a postdoctoral fellow at the National University of Natural Medicine and the founder of the Center for Medical Cannabis Education.

It is important to note that when an employer is testing your urine, they can set the limits in terms of what constitutes a positive or negative result. Most companies follow the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) guidelines.

For THC, according to the SAMHSA, this limit is 50ng/ml. This means that if the urine tested has below this amount in it, it shows as a negative test result. Anything at that level or above, of course, shows as a positive test result and requires more testing to confirm its findings

So, what all this means is that the possibility of someone failing a drug test because of the THC in CBD Hemp Oil is there, but it is extremely unlikely. But, just to keep everyone safe and clear, it is always our recommendation, if you have any concerns on the subject, to talk with whomever may be testing you prior to using any of the products, to ensure you don’t have any issues. We have heard of numerous employer Human Resources departments allowing employees to use CBD Hemp products once they have had the chance to research them. So if you value your job or an application, ask your boss first and see if they can work with you, show them what you are taking and for what medical condition. Even medical cannabis is getting more and more accepted in the corporate world, so CBD should be following the same suit at a much safe level.

Preparing for a Drug Test

If you would like to maximize your chances at passing a drug test with even a minuscule amount of CBD/THC in your body, here are some tips to cleanse your body effectively. Even though it is almost impossible to get tested positive with CBDTweet’s tinctures and topicals, it is the user’s responsibility to assess how much they need to do to maintain the life they want.

None of these methods guarantee any results in any type of testing or your employment status.

First:

• Immediately stop taking the CBD until the time of the drug test
• Follow the following advice for each type of drug test. If you are not sure, then do all that is relevant to your situation.

Saliva Drug Test

• Last-minute detox or cleansing method
  Use a cleansing method to increase your odds of passing. There are many products in the form of bubblegum or mouthwash that are designed to clear out toxins in a short amount of time and leave your saliva sample clean for around 6 hours after using them.
• Natural cleansing method
  Hydrate regularly and to exercise, as THC is fat-soluble and exercising will help you metabolize the toxins quicker. Also stay away from junk and fatty food and to eat products that are rich in vitamins, like leafy vegetables and most fruits.
• Both of the above can be combined as necessary
