Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 2

Written by Robb Auspitz

Good Luck if You Think You Can Beat Your Next Drug Test.

For the last several decades, many people have passed on various “methods” of how to beat the drug test, especially for THC. These individuals were convinced they would work, and work every time. 

Some people believe you can time the test. Others believe you can mask the THC with teas or other substances. If you like your job, I suggest you think the process through and weigh the potential risk.

If you know you have a drug test scheduled and you use CBD, make sure you are only using Broad-spectrum CBD and/or CBD Isolate. The important phrase is THC-free, as in zero %.

If you are using Full-spectrum CBD, or Delta 8 or Delta 9 hemp anything, you will flunk your drug test.

For a scientific look at the drug-testing issue, we recommend you read an article posted on the October 27, 2023, National Institute on Drug Abuse website, “What do drug tests really tell us?“

Let’s take a closer look at the concept of beating the Drug Test for THC, what it is, and why you should approach it very carefully. Do you really want to blow up that job or opportunity?

Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 2: 6 Key Takeaways

  • If you flunk that drug test because THC is present, you can lose your job. Unless you successfully challenge the test result, you have no recourse.
  • Your company drug screens for THC. But you like your job, and you like how Full-spectrum CBD  helps. There are other viable, cost-effective CBD Oil options available. The phrase that matters is THC-free.
  • Broad-spectrum and CBD Isolate products do NOT include THC, so they are classified as THC-free. That means they have exactly ZERO % THC. You confirm that by reading the CBD product’s Independent Lab Results (AKA COAs) on the website.
  • Do NOT assume you can get some strange exotic tea or potion to mask the THC. Because guess what? The THC still magically appears in the drug results.
  • Think the entire process through before the Drug Test. Do some planning to avoid losing your job. Do you really want to have that conversation with whoever? Figure it out, it’s not that difficult.
  • For a scientific take on the issue, read the following article. As reported on the October 27, 2023, National Institute on Drug Abuse website, “What do drug tests really tell us?”

So You Think You Have a Way to Beat Drug Testing. Good Luck With That “Great” Idea. Some THC Drug Test Practical Knowledge

Over the years, there have been all kinds of substances that claimed to mask THC or even flush THC out of your system. They were frequently in the form of some type of tea. They’d generally have a really silly name and lame packaging.

You couldn’t get this tea at your local supermarket, department store, or big box retail store. You could buy the tea mail-order; sometimes there’d be an ad in the back of a Stoner magazine. You could obtain it at various specialty gift store chains that carried this item as a new-age novelty item.

Back then, some stoners convinced themselves that whatever magical substance they used worked. My understanding of more grounded types was that it didn’t, and it’s no different today.

If you flunk that test because of THC, they can fire you. Unless you successfully challenge the test result, you have no recourse. If you have at least an adequate job or better that you at least halfway like, you need to pass that test.

The bad news is that this post has no viable options that can replace Marijuana or Delta 8 or 10 Gummies. Maybe get a job where they don’t test. The good news is that there are viable, cost-effective CBD Oil options available to you. The phrase that matters is THC-free.

More THC Drug Test Practical Knowledge

Broad-spectrum and CBD Isolate Oil do NOT include THC, so they are classified as THC-Free. That means there is exactly zero THC in THC-free CBD products.

How do you confirm they don’t have THC? Again, a responsible and reputable vendor provides Independent Lab Results (AKA COAs) on their website for every CBD Oil product offered.

groovyhempcompany.com provides Independent Lab Results on the corresponding CBD Oil product page under the Lab Results tab. You can read, print, or download them.

Among other things, these results will tell you the % of THC in the product. For both Broad-spectrum and Isolates, the THC% should be listed as ZERO, ND (none detected), or N/D (none detected).

Even More THC Drug Test Practical Knowledge

Will the THC-Free CBD Oil or CBG Oil products perform as well as the Full-spectrum CBD Oil or CBG Oil products? There are many excellent products in the marketplace today. In this article, we are suggesting that you experiment a little. You might find a THC-free tincture, capsule, or gummy that exceeds expectations, and you pass that drug test.

I’m going to say this again. Do NOT assume you can get some strange exotic tea or potion that will mask the THC, so it doesn’t appear in the results of your drug test. You’re absolutely asking for trouble if you try that one.

Think the entire process through. Do some forward planning so you can avoid losing your job. Do you really want to have that conversation with Mom and Dad or your partner/significant other? That one will not end pretty. Figure it out, it’s not that difficult.

Reading Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 2 can save you multiple heartaches. In case you somehow missed it, I strongly suggest reading Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 1.

Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 2, Some Science

To further protect yourself, read the article discussing what drug tests tell us, especially urine tests. As reported on the October 27, 2023, National Institute on Drug Abuse website, “What do drug tests really tell us?”

By Judith Lavelle, NIDA Science Writer
Written by Dr. Stephanie Weiss, Staff Clinician in NIDA’s Intramural Research Program, NIDA Science Writer. Please read the following excerpt.

“Q. How can we improve the practice of drug testing? Is it a matter of clinician training, or do we need more science?

I would say we need both. Drug use is changing rapidly. We’re seeing more people exposed to new synthetic drugs—as well as very different patterns of substance use depending on the part of the country or world that you’re in. But researchers, clinical chemists, and medical toxicologists work together on these challenges.

That may mean developing new screening technology or sharing information on testing for emerging and less-familiar drugs. Organizations that help with that communication—like the National Drug Early Warning System, which NIDA funds—inform and are informed by drug testing.”

Groovy Hemp Company Why You Need to Worry About Your Next Drug Test Part 2 FAQs

CBD stands for Cannabidiol, one of many phytocannabinoids found in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive. Additionally, independent research and consumer feedback demonstrate numerous benefits for human and pet health. In hemp, CBD Oil is found in a much higher concentration than any other cannabinoid.

CBD Oil works synergistically with your body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to supplement the naturally occurring cannabinoids in your system.

When your body absorbs CBD Oil, it improves the endocannabinoid system’s ability to promote a balanced internal environment (Homeostasis).

Consuming CBD Oil products can help you maintain a regular level of CBD Oil in your system, promoting optimal wellness.

  • Beyond the physical difference, Hemp and Marijuana are strains of the Cannabis plant with slightly different biochemical characteristics.
  • In a broad sense, Hemp and Marijuana can both have a positive impact on your health, physical and mental. However, each has a broad range of varying benefits. Too broad to be covered here.
  • THC is the psychoactive ingredient in Marijuana that gets you high. Hemp-based products have no more than 0.3% naturally occurring THC, which is not even remotely enough to get you high. Marijuana sold today frequently has at least 15% THC, and that will definitely get you high.
  • There are also Hemp-based products that have been chemically engineered to have higher percentages of Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC.
  • Hemp was de-scheduled by the DEA in September 2018 and is 100% legal. For some bizarre reason(s) that I’m sure only makes sense to the DEA, Marijuana is still considered a Schedule 1 drug by the DEA. A Schedule 1 drug is considered highly dangerous and addictive. Like I said, bizarre.
  • Marijuana has now attained varying forms of legality in different states and municipalities but is still considered illegal by the Federal government in some states. Legislation has been introduced in Congress and many states legalizing Marijuana.
  • As of August 2024, the DEA has been directed by the White House to reschedule Marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug. The DEA has been acting on this directive in slow motion. Bet you’re every bit as “surprised” as I am.
  • Groovy Hemp Company only provides hemp-based products. None of them will get you high.

Full-spectrum CBD Oil contains trace amounts of other phytocannabinoids, including THC (less than 0.3%), and various terpenes (depending on the strain). All these organic compounds work synergistically, providing a theoretically fuller therapeutic effect than Broad-spectrum CBD Oil (THC-Free), or CBD Isolate (also THC-Free).

If a label says Full-spectrum CBD Oil but you have doubts, read the Independent Lab Results. That should be available on the vendor’s website. The lab results will give you the percentages of phytocannabinoids present, or not present, in the formulation. For Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC, 0.3% or less should be the amount listed.

In Full-spectrum CBD (with THC), the Entourage Effect is a term used to describe how THC amplifies the therapeutic impact of a combination of a major cannabinoid (e.g., CBD or CBN), minor cannabinoids, Terpenes, and other organic compounds.

In THC-free CBD, the Entourage Effect is a term used to describe how a specific formulation amplifies the therapeutic impact of a combination of a major cannabinoid (e.g., CBD or CBN), minor cannabinoids, Terpenes, and other organic compounds.

THC-free CBD Oil means exactly what it says. It’s CBD Oil without any THC. There are two types of THC-free CBD Oil.  Broad-spectrum CBD Oil contains trace amounts of other phytocannabinoids except THC.

The strict interpretation of CBD Isolate is CBD Oil without any other phytocannabinoids, including THC. It also has no terpenes or any other organic compounds that might be found in Industrial Hemp, Pharmaceutical, or Food Grade Hemp.

If a label says CBD Isolate or Broad-spectrum CBD but you have doubts, read the COA (Independent Lab Results). This document should be available on the vendor’s website.

The lab results will show the percentages of phytocannabinoids present (or not present) in the formulation. More specifically, Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC should be listed as “ND” (for none detected).

If you can’t find a COA for the product you’re looking at, consider another brand or vendor. groovyhempcompany.com has a COA for every CBD product we provide.

Broad-spectrum CBD Oil contains trace amounts of other phytocannabinoids except THC. It also includes various terpenes (depending on the strain). Just to be clear, Broad-spectrum CBD Oil contains zero % THC.

If a label says Broad-spectrum CBD Oil but you have doubts, read the COA (Independent Lab Results). This document should be available on the vendor’s website. For Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC, “ND” (for none detected) should be the amount listed.

The strict definition of CBD Isolate is CBD without any other phytocannabinoids, including THC. It also has no terpenes or any of the other organic compounds that might be found in Industrial Hemp, Pharmaceutical, or Food Grade Hemp.

Some manufacturers consider CBD Isolate to be anything CBD and other phytocannabinoids except THC. Terpenes are not part of the formulation.

If a label says CBD Isolate but you have doubts, read the COA (Independent Lab Results). This document should be available on the vendor’s website.

For Delta 8 or Delta 9 THC, “ND” (for none detected) should be the amount listed. Again, the amount of phytocannabinoids besides THC may vary depending on how the manufacturer defines CBD Isolate.

If you can’t find a COA for the product you’re looking at, consider another brand or vendor. groovyhempcompany.com has a COA for every CBD product we provide.

The abbreviation for a Certificate of Analysis is COA (AKA Independent Lab Results). A COA can be conveniently found on the individual product page, in the tab marked Independent Lab Results.

A qualified yes. CBD Oil products with zero % THC are legal in 49 states. E-commerce sites cannot legally sell CBD to Alabama residents.

Selling Full-spectrum CBD Oil products (less than 0.3% delta-9 THC but more than zero % THC) is illegal in California, Idaho, Kansas, and Tennessee and legal in the remaining 45 states.

That means Groovy Hemp Company is only allowed to sell THC-free CBD Oil products (Broad-spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate) in California, Idaho, Kansas, and Tennessee.

THC-free means 0.0% or N/D on the COA for delta-8 or delta-9 THC.
