With many turning toward more natural remedies for sleep, stress relief, and other discomforts, the use of cannabidiol (CBD) has become more common. In recent years, workplace drug testing has become more prevalent. As a result, there is a rising concern about whether the use of these products may cause a failed drug test.

Hemp Vs Marijuana
It’s taken a good long time for hemp to be understood as the non-psychoactive cousin to marijuana. Hemp contains a wide array of cannabinoids including CBD, but only trace amounts of THC - the high inducing cannabinoid found in marijuana. When employers conduct drug testing, they do not test for the CBD compound. However, they do most often test for THC. As THC can be found in trace amounts of full-spectrum CBD products, there is a risk for someone to test positive after using a full-spectrum CBD product. It's important to understand the ways in which CBD products vary and how choosing a quality product can prevent a failed drug test.

Tips For Choosing A Quality Hemp Product
Know your CBD from farm to product - During cultivation, harvest, and processing of hemp, quality growers and producers will adhere to rigorous guidelines to ensure that each plant and CBD batch remains at or below the legal limit of 0.3% THC.

Verify a certificate of analysis - Quality CBD processors will have a Certificate of Analysis for the products they offer. This document (COA) will indicate third-party testing has been done to convey the concentrations of cannabinoids including THC and CBD.

Check for full disclosure of ingredients
There are CBD products on the market that proclaim to be natural while containing synthetic CBD, harmful solvents, and artificial preservatives. Check the ingredient list before you make your choice.
