CBD gummy bears come in several colors and flavors, but their most important detail is in their THC content. They are mostly produced with a THC content (below 0.3%) that flies below the radar of drug testing procedures. It is, therefore, no surprise that they are increasingly popular with a lot of people.
Who requires drug tests?
Organizations in the healthcare and transportation sector rank highly among the most common places to encounter periodic drug tests, for obvious reasons. You don't want to have a doctor perform a critical surgery or a pilot fly hundreds of people while having illegal drugs in their system. Sports people also have their fair share of drug testing. The aim of such drug tests is to look for the presence of banned performance-enhancing drugs that'll most likely give them an unfair advantage in the field of play.
Others include traffic violators and people that are guilty of reckless driving or any other criminal activity in general. These sets of people are tested for drugs as it is most often their source of negative inspiration or influence.
Can THC show up on a drug test?
The answer is yes, but on the condition that it is present in quantities above the legal limit–above 0.3%. The historic farm bill legalizes the use of hemp-derived THC-containing products in the USA, as long as their THC content is no more than 0.3% of their dry weight. So if you're using a drug with a THC content above this limit, you'll be picked up by the drug testing procedure. You are more likely to fall foul of the drug test if your THC is of the marijuana-derived type. This is mostly because they contain THC in sufficient quantities, enough to register on the radar of most drug testing procedures.
Can CBD show up on a drug test?
The answer to this question depends on a couple of factors, such as the type and source of the CBD in question, but it mostly borders on the THC content of the CBD. Ordinarily, CBD products are free of the suspect substances that can trigger a positive result in drug tests. But if you go for full-spectrum CBD, especially the type that is marijuana-derived, you're most likely in risk territory. This is because the THC content in this CBD product could be above the 0.3% legal limit.
How to make sure CBD Gummies won't show up on a drug test?
Drug tests look for the presence of banned substances or the presence of certain drugs in quantities above the legal limit in the system of its subjects. Hence, the best way to ensure that your drug tests return negatives is to be very careful about the type of CBD product you use. The trick is to avoid products with THC or to only go for those with a tested and trusted THC content below 0.3%. This will require you to be increasingly vigilant. You'll have to look out for label information on any product that you purchase so you can always avoid products of the full-spectrum marijuana-derived type.
This is even as label misinformation is still an issue with some CBD manufacturing companies, with some frequently understating the THC content of their products. Others can not provide third-party lab reports that show their CBD products to be THC free or at least below the legal limit. So if you are not sure of the credibility of your supplier, you may have to try somewhere else to be safe.
Your safest bet would be to stick strictly to CBD isolate, or to side with reputable suppliers of CBD products that can guarantee reliable third-party drug testing.
