F.A.Q.

Cannabidiol (CBD) shouldn’t show up on a drug test. 

However, many CBD products contain trace amounts of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marijuana’s main active ingredient. 

If enough THC is present, it will show up on a drug test. This means that in rare cases, using CBD might lead to a positive drug test. 

It all depends on the product’s quality and composition.

According to Baum, there are several factors driving the price of CBD. 

The most significant is the limited supply vs. the overwhelming demand.

“On the supply side, the imbalance is due to the fact that hemp farming was generally illegal prior to the passage of the Farm Bill of 2018 (Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018), signed into law on December 20, 2018,” he says. 

Prior to that, hemp farming was only permitted in several states and mainly for research purposes. 

The Farm bill authorized the farming of “industrial hemp,” that is, hemp with less than 0.3 percent THC (the psychoactive element of cannabis).

 The amount of CBD you should take depends on a range of factors, including:

​

1. your body weight
2. the condition you’re treating
3. your individual body chemistry
4. the concentration of CBD in each pill, capsule, drop, or gummy

​

In other words, there are a lot of variables that go into deciding how much CBD to take. Before trying CBD, be sure to talk to your doctor about an appropriate dosage and any potential risks. If your doctor tells you how much to use, stick to their recommendation. This is especially important if you’re taking a prescription medication that contains CBD, such as Epidiolex, a form of seizure medication.
