What Drug Tests Usually Look For:

  • Most common drug tests (like urine tests) screen for THC and its metabolites—not CBD.

  • CBD is non-psychoactive and not classified as a controlled substance in many regions, so it’s generally not tested for.

⚠️ Why CBD Might Still Cause a Positive Drug Test:

  1. THC Contamination:
    Some CBD products, especially full-spectrum ones, contain small amounts of THC (legally up to 0.3% in the U.S.). This can accumulate in your system over time and potentially trigger a positive test.

  2. Mislabeling or Poor Quality:
    Some products labeled “THC-free” may still contain detectable THC. This is common with unregulated or low-quality brands.

  3. Type of CBD Product Matters:

    • CBD isolate: Pure CBD, no THC – lowest risk

    • Broad-spectrum CBD: CBD plus other cannabinoids, no THC – low risk

    • Full-spectrum CBD: CBD with trace THC – higher risk

🧪 Bottom Line:

  • CBD won’t show up, but THC might, depending on what type of CBD you take.

  • If you’re drug tested for work or legal reasons, choose CBD isolate from a reputable brand and review lab test results (COAs) to confirm it’s THC-free.

what does cbd do to you
ChatGPT said:

CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. It interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS)—which helps regulate things like mood, sleep, pain, and immune response—but it doesn’t get you high like THC does.

🧠 What CBD Can Do to You (Potential Effects)

✅ Commonly Reported Effects:

  • Reduced anxiety and stress

  • Improved sleep quality

  • Pain relief (especially for chronic pain or inflammation)

  • Relaxation without sedation

  • Reduced muscle tension or soreness

  • Improved focus or mood stability in some users

🚫 What CBD Does NOT Do:

  • It does not cause euphoria or a “high.”

  • It typically doesn’t impair cognition or motor skills.

🧪 How It Works (Briefly):

CBD interacts with receptors in the endocannabinoid system (mainly CB1 and CB2), as well as other systems like serotonin and dopamine receptors, which helps explain its effects on mood, pain, and inflammation.

⚠️ Side Effects (Usually Mild if Present):

  • Drowsiness or fatigue

  • Dry mouth

  • Changes in appetite

  • Diarrhea (in high doses)

  • Drug interactions (especially with medications processed by the liver)
