CBD Oil Do Not Affect Drug Testing
Medical CBD oil would never show up on drug testing. It cannot be traced in urine, hair, nails or saliva tests. Despite that fact, there are some reasons as to why the test can have a false positivity in certain occasions. In this article we will try to explain what may be the reason for it, how to avoid some risks and more.
In which cases may the test be positive?
Some drug test might be positive simply from a small percentage of THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) being in the CBD oil that they used. For those who are unfamiliar with all of this, earlier we explained what is CBD oil specifically as well as differences between CBD and THC. Generally, CBD is non-addictive and it’s also not psychoactive, plus, there are plenty of benefits of using it for many different purposes, from medical reasons to beauty and food industry. The percentage of THC in CBD products mostly depends on the product’s quality and composition. When the quality is lower it’s possible to have a bit of THC in your product without knowing it, which could affect your testing latter. Where the CBD extract comes from and how it’s extracted might make THC contamination more likely. There is a smaller possibility for certain types of CBD to have THC in them. Mostly, you’ll see types of CBD extract classified as:- Full-spectrum CBD
- Broad-spectrum CBD
- CBD isolate.
- The strength and composition of the CBD
- Brand labeling
- Secondhand exposure to THC.
