Situations often arise where we have to take a drug test. One of the most forms of drug tests that you would in most cases go for are such as those where samples of urine are taken and screened to see if at all they have any sorts of traces of drugs in them such as marijuana.
In the event that the test results happen to be positive, where they tell of the presence of an illicit substance in your system, then this would be such an unpleasant situation.
CBD being so closely associated or related to marijuana, at least as most know them to be, there has been an element of fear and concern over whether or not CBD will reveal on drug tests or not. By and large, this sounds such a straight question that calls for such a simple answer, yes or no, in actual sense, there is so much that goes into the determination of what the case may be. This is bearing in mind the fact that even though it is often the case that CBD doesn’t show or reveal on a drug screening there are some cases where they would otherwise show on such tests.
For you to clearly understand when and how CBD would show up on a drug test, you need to have such a clear understanding of the difference there is between hemp and marijuana, CBD and THC.
When it comes to these, it is to be first understood that the cannabis plant comes of two sorts of strains and these are the hemp strain and the marijuana strain of the plant and one thing common to all of them is that they are composed of an abundance of CBD. Even though these two happen to be sharing some features, they are classified differently under the state laws and this is based on the concentration that they have in terms of THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the compound that produces that high effect when one uses cannabis products.
From the above facts, we can say that hemp happens to be the cannabis strain that is legally accepted in a number of states in the United States and this is for the reason that it has the least concentration of THC as a strain of cannabis plant. But looking at the strain marijuana, this often contains such a high level of THC concentration and this as such points to the fact that it will produce such an intense mind altering effect on consumption. Due to this, you come to realize that the use of marijuana has not been legalized in a number of states in the United States and only some few have gone easy a bit on this allowing, albeit controlled, use of marijuana, medical marijuana use.
