Today, cannabidiol, or CBD, has been recognized for its promising, highly effective, medicinal properties in treating a wide range of medical conditions as well as managing some of the devastating chronic symptoms accompanied by chronic disease. By acting on cannabinoid receptors (types 1 and 2) in our endocannabinoid system, CBD oil can manage and relieve chronic pain. Furthermore, cannabidiol is also believed to control the intense pain caused by cancer treatments.
Recently, CBD has been approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in Europe for the treatment of certain types of seizures, and this has improved the quality of life of many patients around the world. Recently, researchers have found that anxiety, mood disorders, and depression can be effectively managed with CBD, which provides us with a valuable solution and a better alternative to current medications.
Can a regular drug test detect CBD?
Unlike delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD oil does not have the psychoactive properties of THC and therefore does not cause high feelings. To answer shortly, CBD does not appear on most icup drug tests. These tests are not meant to detect the presence of CBD or determine how much it is in your body.
Most of the most popular tests are conducted on 5 or 10 substances. These tests detect the presence of THC-COOH, the end product of THC metabolism in our body. Therefore, we can say with certainty that pure CBD does not appear in normal drug tests.
Could the THC in CBD oil products result in a drug test?
That said, some CBD products contain minimal amounts of THC. However, if a high enough amount of THC is contained in the CBD oil, this will be detected by the drug test. It’s not a very common situation, but CBD can lead to a positive drug test result if the amount of THC in the product is high enough. This mainly depends on the quality of the CBD products and their composition.
The Food and Drug Administration does not regulate most CBD products. It is therefore often difficult to say exactly what they contain. Some CBD products contain less THC than others.
Most industrial CBD oils have low THC levels. On average, THC in these products is below 0.3%. These near-zero concentrations are too low for a regular drug test to detect. On average, the THC content in CBD products is too low to be detected by hair tests, and it is even more unlikely to be detected by urine or saliva tests.
However, it must be taken into account that factors such as the frequency of CBD doses taken, the amount in each dose, the potency of the product, and the body composition can make a lot of difference. However, when we think of CBD products derived from marijuana, things change. Usually, the latter is rich in THC, and the test for THC-COOH will be positive.
