One of CBD\u2019s biggest breakthroughs was the famous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usda.gov\/farmbill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2018 Farm Bill<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which decriminalized hemp-sourced CBD extract\u2014with not more than .3% THC, a concentration too petite to get you stoned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another big win was earlier in the same year, 2018, when a CBD-infused drug, Epidiolex, eventually got the FDA\u2019s nod as the first ever and most effective pharmaceutical prescription drug for two severe forms of epileptic seizures in kids\u2014<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninds.nih.gov\/health-information\/disorders\/dravet-syndrome\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dravet Syndrome<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/conditions\/lennox-gastaut-syndrome\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lennox-Gastaut<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, while CBD products are legal and have gained widespread acceptance, particularly in modern healthcare, THC, CBD\u2019s close relative, is still classified as a Schedule I substance. According to the Controlled Substance Act, items listed as Schedule 1 substances are considered harmful, have high addiction risk, and zero medical value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This explains why although THC and CBD are the most abundant compounds in weed, CBD is particularly favored by US federal and state laws and medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, THC is the chief \u2018villain\u2019 most dope screenings target, and based on your jurisdiction and organization\u2019s drug use policy, this psychoactive compound can easily ruin your employment opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your safest bet may be CBD isolate\u2014CBD-only extract that contains as high as 99+% CBD concentration, without THC and other extra bodies. Quality isolates are safe and widely accepted in work environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Do CBD Consumers Fail Drug Tests?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though it is largely federally accepted, using CBD in the workplace can cause users to fail drug tests. These failed tests are mostly caused by misleading labels of phony products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For clarity, CBD comes in three major forms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full-spectrum CBD<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broad-spectrum CBD\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CBD Isolate<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><br \/>\nFull-spectrum CBD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products contain all compounds in cannabis, including THC. Products labeled full-spectrum will likely get you in trouble at work. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Completely<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> avoid them if your workplace is a no-THC zone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Broad-spectrum CBD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products should be safer\u2014they may contain all other chemical elements in cannabis, except THC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CBD Isolate<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> products are your safest bet and most recommended if you anticipate a drug test. As mentioned earlier, they contain only CBD and no other cannabis compounds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sadly, many of these products with broad-spectrum CBD and CBD Isolate labels contain unreported amounts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-cbdthc-ratios\/\">THC<\/a>, even when the labels claim \u201cTHC-free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your supposed zero-THC, hemp-sourced CBD oil (as claimed by many labels) may <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actually <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">contain significant levels of other hidden compounds that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sneak<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> into the product during extraction and are omitted from the ingredient list on the product label.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/news\/newsroom\/news-releases\/study-shows-widespread-mislabeling-of-cbd-content-occurs-for-over-the-counter-products#:~:text=Only%2089%20(85%25)%20of,24%25)%20were%20accurately%20labeled.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research conducted by Johns Hopkins<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a renowned research institute, only 21 out of 105 products surveyed had accurate labeling. Fifty-two products had more CBD than stated on the label, while 16 had overstated CBD content. Four products with \u201cTHC-free\u201d labels contained significant THC levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you fall victim to such products with misleading labels, over time, the trace amounts of THC in these solutions build up and lodge in your adipose tissue for a long time before being released into the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long drug tests detect these trace amounts of THC in the bloodstream after your last dose varies based on the amount of THC ingested, dosage frequency, and usage history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>CBD in the Workplace Legislation: Lehenky v. Toshiba<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is lingering uncertainty over CBD in the workplace, a potential source of conflict between workers and employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an example, let\u2019s review a recent judgment by the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania addressing CBD use and the Americans with Disability Act, ADA, in a case <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/appellate-courts\/ca3\/22-1475\/22-1475-2023-05-19.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lehenky v. Toshiba America Energy Systems Corporation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, No, 22-1475 (3rd DCA May 19, 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In its judgment, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a former Toshiba employee named Lehenky, who alleged unjust employment termination for testing positive for THC, an ingredient of a product she used to manage her disability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The court concluded that the company&#8217;s drug use policy was not discriminatory towards individuals with disabilities as alleged but for all workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Lehenky-Toshiba suit, the employer (Toshiba) had an active drug-free workplace policy against THC usage as well as misuse of OTC and prescription drugs. To use hemp, employees must report their prescribed drugs and doses via proper documentation\u2014otherwise, detected drug use is punishable by a disciplinary action deemed suitable by the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an impromptu drug screening exercise at the company, those who tested positive were considered policy violators and laid off\u2014including Lehenky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lehenky had been Toshiba\u2019s staff for 18 years and switched to a work-from-home schedule in 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, she began dosing a hemp-sourced CBD oil to manage the pains and discomforting symptoms of an inflammatory autoimmune disease she was diagnosed with. Although she claimed to have a doctor\u2019s approval, her employers were unaware of her CBD doses and the doctor\u2019s consent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During a 2019 drug screening, Lehenky was picked for a random drug test, of which she came out dirty and was laid off immediately. She filed a suit against her hirer for breach of the ADA, which the Court Circuit dismissed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The court ruled that since she tested positive for THC, a substance prohibited by Toshiba\u2019s policy, her fate hung on the company\u2019s disciplinary decisions and that the company had in no way discriminated against Lehenky&#8217;s disability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Play It Safe While Using CBD in the Workplace\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>Trust your source<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014do not buy from vendors without industry reputation or track record. By buying from trusted vendors, you\u2019re double sure of your product\u2019s quality and content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Request a Certificate of Analysis (CoA)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014CoA is a third-party lab test result that reveals all the ingredients in a CBD product and individual concentrations. If you find any discrepancies between the COA and the claim on the product label, something may be fishy&#8211;check another product.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Discuss with your doctor<\/b> <b>before dosing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Even with its increasing acceptability, CBD is still a drug with side effects and likely drug-drug interaction. So, more professional medical recommendations will come in handy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Inform your employers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014If you\u2019ll be using CBD, ensure your hirers are well informed before you begin. This way, you\u2019ll be protected if anything comes up, as in Lehenky\u2019s case. It\u2019s always best to know the company\u2019s stance on cannabis use from day one. Also ask which compound is prohibited, if any.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you can use CBD-infused topicals for your condition, prefer them over ingestible products, as external applications (even with THC) will not appear in your drug test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, prefer CBD lotions over vaping CBD concentrates if you seek an efficient solution for your inflammation joint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many employers uphold strict drug policies. While certain states have recently enacted laws preventing employers from penalizing employees who use cannabis outside of work, the case of Lehenky demonstrates that, on a federal level, employers can determine what\u2019s acceptable and what\u2019s not and take disciplinary actions against erring employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If an employer discovers an employee uses a THC-containing product at the time of termination, based on their company policy, they are legally protected under the ADA to discipline, terminate, or decline to rehire that employee, regardless of the product&#8217;s legality federally.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although CBD may be legal in your jurisdiction and allowed at your workplace, it can cost you your job.
