I need to express my total surprise that the use of CBD (cannabidiol) products would result in a positive drug test for THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

I was not aware that using CBD products daily for control of arthritis discomfort could and did result in a positive drug test for THC. I started taking the soft gel pill of full-spectrum CBD about two or three weeks ago, along with the topical applications.

I was offered a very good job with a major company, and took a drug test. I was informed my results were positive for using THC, which I do not use. The CBD products, I found out, have trace amount of THC and therefore resulted in a positive drug test.

The sale of CBD products is legal but people need to know that they may test positive for THC if they are using CBD products.
