Will I fail a drug test if I use CBD?
Most hemp oil or CBD products are sold with much lower levels of THC (less than 0.2%) so most consumers will never have a problem passing a drugs test. All our products meet EU standards and contain (less than 0.2% THC). That being said in some extremely rare cases if you exceed the recommend daily amount this can cause a failure on drug tests for THC. This result is sometimes referred to as a ‘false positive’ similar to consuming to many poppy seeds which can be bought in any health food store. If you have any doubts always consult with your doctor first before modifying or changing your diet
