Will I Test Positive for THC?

If you consume any form of cannabinoids, it is possible, though unlikely, that you could fail a drug test (otherwise known as a Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST)).

Testing positive for THC? That’s far less likely.

Let’s talk about how positive tests happen and why Green Lotus Hemp products are the best choice for any consumer facing a potential drug screening.

Contaminated or mislabeled products account for the overwhelming majority of failed drug tests resulting from the ingestion of hemp-derived products.

Many companies cut corners when it comes to quality control, and as a result, their products are littered with prohibited levels of THC and other contaminants. Do your research before buying!

Just like industrial hemp, high-THC marijuana contains non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBD. Certain tests are designed according to a rationale that, because CBD (and other cannabinoids) are found in marijuana, the presence of CBD is a sign that the test subject has consumed marijuana. CBD, using a technical term, is a “chemical marker” — a legal substance that suggests the presence of an illegal substance.

But not to fear! The vast majority of tests look for the presence of THC, exclusively. If given a drug screening that tests for THC concentration, it is extremely unlikely (if you follow our on-label instructions) that you will test positive for THC and fail the test.

Yes, CBD users are susceptible to false-positives. But typically, false-positives are triggered as a result of consuming enormous amounts of cannabinoids, with 1000mg/day as just a starting point.

No matter the conditions, there is always a risk of failing a drug test. Before you take a drug test, check up on the type of drug test your prospective employer uses. For federal employees, drug testing must follow standardized procedures established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). In SAMHSA-approved labs, urine tests look for both cannabinoids and THC.

The average employer, on the other hand, is unlikely to use such a comprehensive test. If you have any doubts, consider speaking with your employer. Explain to them why you may end up testing positive and how you benefit from non-psychoactive cannabinoids.

Judging by the increasing acceptance of hemp-derived products and CBD as therapeutic remedies, it shouldn’t take long for drug testing services to adapt to the reality that non-psychoactive cannabinoids are widely socially acceptable, and soon to be protected by law.
