Summary

Checkr, a company providing pre-employment drug testing services, explains that CBD products do not show up on standard workplace drug tests as they screen only for THC, a psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. However, some CBD products may contain trace amounts of THC due to contamination or manufacturing processes. The presence of THC in these products can lead to positive test results, although the likelihood depends on various factors such as product type and individual consumption habits. Full-spectrum CBD products are more likely to contain THC than CBD isolate products, which have been processed to remove all cannabis plant compounds. Urine testing is the most common method used for employee drug screening, and THC can be detectable in urine for up to 30+ days depending on frequency of use. While false positives are possible, they are rare.
