No matter the type of drug test being performed on someone - saliva, hair, or urine - the lab result can only identify certain parts of certain drugs. Drug test panels usually identify the following drug compounds:
- THC and THC-COOH
- Cocaine
- Morphine
- Oxycodone
- Methamphetamines
- Benzodiazepines
- Alcohol
Most legal CBD products in Canada can have trace amounts of THC. These products are unlikely to produce a positive drug test or euphoric effects, but it isn’t impossible for enough trace amounts to sneak in undetected and flag your employer’s attention on a lab result. This caution should also be used should you decide to purchase from the black market: beware that your product was not likely created by a team of scientists and botanists, and those trace amounts of THC could still show up despite the producer’s best guesstimations.
If drug-testing has you feeling uneasy about CBD, then focus on reading your labels carefully, and be cautious of any trace amounts of THC.
