The answer is not simple. Can CBD alone test positive on a drug test? Maybe. Will it? Probably not. If you are on probation or parole in Indiana, you already know it is a violation to use any CBD or cannabis products. Do not use our products if you are on probation or parole. If you are drug tested for your employment, CBD and most cannabinoids are safe. THC is not. If you use a Nurse Jane product that contains THC, you will likely flunk a drug test. You have been warned.
In Depth
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis and hemp plants that’s widely used for wellness purposes, including stress relief, sleep support, and pain management. While CBD itself doesn’t cause a “high,” hemp-derived products can still contain trace amounts of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana. These trace levels are typically below 0.3% in federally legal CBD products, but even small amounts can accumulate in the body with regular use, potentially triggering a positive result on certain drug tests. Most standard drug screenings are designed to detect THC or its metabolites, not CBD. However, because many CBD products are unregulated or mislabeled, there is a risk of THC contamination. Full-spectrum CBD oils, in particular, are more likely to contain detectable levels. To reduce the chances of a false positive, individuals subject to testing should look for products that are third-party lab tested and labeled as THC-free or broad-spectrum. It’s also important to consider the testing method, as more sensitive tests can detect even minimal THC exposure.
