Millions of people in the U.S. are addicted to drugs and alcohol, and drug and alcohol abuse cost the U.S. economy over 800 billion dollars per year. Drug addiction has a hefty price, costing people their health, relationships, and even their lives. In many industries, being impaired from drugs or alcohol can cause numerous legal and liability issues for businesses. Drug use in the workplace can also hurt employees and increase the risk of accidents.

Pre-employment drug screens and random drug testing have been a workplace staple for a variety of industries for several decades. With the impending labor shortage and a currently tight labor market, pre-employment drug screening is declining among U.S. employers, but it’s not going away anytime soon. For workers who have to submit to employer drug testing, they may worry that taking a CBD supplement can result in a positive drug test, or submitting to a specific CBD oil drug test. For the most part, CBD will not show up on an employer drug screen, with some exceptions.

What do drug tests look for?

State law and company policy dictate what types of drug tests an employer can require for pre-employment screening. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you will have to submit a CBD oil drug test. State law can also dictate if employees have to submit to random drug screening after being hired. Drug tests typically screen for drugs that have a potential for abuse, which includes some prescription drugs and also alcohol. Sports and athletic organizations can also screen for steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs. The average employer drug test will screen for the following substances:

What types of drug tests are there?

Employers have a variety of different drug panels they can use. The most common drug tests are urine tests, and these are most often used as part of a pre-employment screening process. But employers can also use mouth or swab tests, blood tests, breath tests, and hair follicle tests, though these are rare and more expensive than a standard urine test.

Urine tests are usually able to find out if a person has used drugs within the last few hours to a few weeks, while hair follicle tests can show drug use going back up to three months. Blood tests and breath tests can show current impairment, while urine and hair follicle tests only indicate past drug use, not current impairment.

Drug tests that indicate past use are more likely to be used during a pre-employment drug screen. If an employee has an accident at work, an employer might use a blood or mouth swab test to look for current impairment, but this is subject to state law and company regulations.

Do employers specifically require a CBD oil drug test?

Employers do not test individually with a CBD oil drug test, but they do often test for marijuana. Marijuana is considered a schedule one drug, and it’s illegal on a federal level, even if a person lives in a state where cannabis has been legalized.

In a drug panel, a positive result won’t indicate “marijuana.” Instead, it will screen for THC, the active component in marijuana that causes impairment and can also be addictive. Both THC and CBD are cannabinoids present in the cannabis or marijuana plant. These cannabinoids interact with the human body and are what make CBD and medical marijuana products effective for alleviating certain health conditions. CBD itself is unlikely to show up on a drug test, but it’s possible that it will.

[/spb_boxed_content] [spb_text_block animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ simplified_controls=”yes” custom_css_percentage=”no” padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizontal=”0″ margin_vertical=”0″ custom_css=”margin-top: 0px;margin-bottom: 0px;” border_size=”0″ border_styling_global=”default” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]

CBD products are considered supplements and aren’t regulated like other medications or prescriptions. Instead, CBD products are left up to the individual states to set forth guidelines regarding the manufacture, sale, and use of CBD.

CBD products are broken down into different categories depending on their chemical makeup and the number of different cannabinoids they contain. Consumers can purchase pure CBD or CBD isolates. CBD isolate products only contain the cannabinoid CBD, which is placed in a carrier oil. Most CBD isolate carrier oils include either grapeseed, hempseed, or coconut oil as a carrier. Other CBD products are labeled broad spectrum, and contain several cannabinoids, including CBD, but not THC. Full spectrum CBD products include a range of cannabinoids, plus THC.

If CBD is legal, how can it affect a drug test?

[/spb_text_block] [spb_icon_box box_type=”left-icon” box_icon_type=”icon” icon=”fas fa-angle-double-right” animate_svg=”no” target=”_self” animation=”none” animation_delay=”0″ animated_box_style=”coloured” animated_box_rounded=”yes” width=”1/1″ el_position=”first last”]

The federal government has made it legal for people to ship and purchase CBD products across state lines if they contain .3% of THC or less. The problem here is that if a person were to use a CBD product with .3% of THC (or more), this could show up on a drug screen if a person uses CBD products frequently. So, it’s not that CBD shows up on a drug screen. It’s THC that’s also present in some CBD products that can result in a positive test.

People who use high-quality, cannabinoid-rich hemp or CBD oil at more than 1000 to 2000 mg every day could result in an initial false-positive test for marijuana, but this is an infrequent occurrence.

Employers have to comply with drug testing guidelines, according to SAMHSA. Drug screenings are done in two phases. It is the initial drug screening that could throw a false positive for THC if a person has been using high doses of CBD oil. The second phase of the drug screening would confirm a negative result since CBD and cannabinoids other than THC would not be detected in the more accurate second screening.

How long does CBD stay in someone’s system?

In large doses, CBD can stay in a person’s system for up to ten days after last use. Regular users can expect CBD to linger in the body’s systems for about five days after someone stops using a CBD product.
