Which end?...................
CBD is found in cannabis sativa along with THC. Both are components of cannabis. CBD should not show up on a drug test for cannabis.
No clue about CBD, but when I quit smoking, I used this simple technique:
Every time I wanted to smoke, I ran out to the yard so I wouldn’t frighten the pets and shouted every imaginable curse word as loud as I could. Took about 10 days and I haven’t smoked for the last 20 years.
I lived in the country. If your neighbors are too close, it won’t work.
SBD is not a scheduled drug
CBD is 100% legal, as it’s non-psychoactive. You should be fine - they don’t usually test for it.
I have no info about CBD or drug testing. I quit smoking on 5/1/2020, and haven’t looked back. I decided the last pack I had was the last one I would buy, and stretched it out over a few days. It was probably helpful that COVID was just getting popular, so it was challenging to go buy more cigarettes, but I did have a gas station that had a drive up window for them, for a few weeks before I quit.
I still think about it once in awhile. Did use some Nicorette gum or whatever it is, which I found to irritate my gums.
Anyway, good luck! This is probably a good time of year to try to stop, if you can be more active and eat more salads and veggies, to minimize weight gain. It might also be helpful if you have a goal (for example, monthly massage or golf outing) that will be somewhat indulgent, that you will now be able to afford due to not buying smokes.
To avoid getting a positive test for Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that produces the “high”, you need to stay away from “Full Spectrum CBD” which contains ALL the natural hemp compounds, including up to 0.3% THC (the legal Federal limit for THC in hemp-based CBD products).
Broad Spectrum CBD contains all the natural hemp compounds, but excludes any THC, so that should be safe for testing.
“CBD Isolate” is the purest form and contains only CBD, so that is considered safest for testing negative.
I fly corporate jets. In May of 2023 a guy who flies with me was having trouble sleeping. In casual conversation with his doctor, the doctor suggested CBD gummies. He tried some. They helped slightly.
He was working on his commercial helicopter certificate. While in a hover, his engine failed. The helicopter crashed and roll over. He was taken to the hospital. While he was unconscious, a blood sample was taken and submitted to drug testing. It came back positive for marijuana. My buddy is a Christian family man. Doesn’t drink, smoke, or do drugs.
His FAA medical certificate was revoked for “a history of drug use”. He is still fighting to get in reinstated.
Yes, i have first hand experience. As a machinist, i get drug tested for any new job I go to. I have been upfront with any employer that I, indeed, have used CBD, gummies or tincture. Several times I have been tested and the CBD does not show up. Whether its the low dose or something else I dont know. I found the tincture worked best, however I could not justify the cost vs. the minimal relief I got. so I stopped. your mileage may vary.
CBD gummies usually do not contain THC, but there is always a chance that trace amounts could be included, which can result in a positive drug test. Full-spectrum CBD gummies contain less than 0.3% THC, another cannabinoid compound found in marijuana cannabis plants. Hemp-derived CBD products that contain less than 0.3% THC are legal on a federal level, but they may still be illegal in some states. CBD gummies have no psychoactive properties, so they will not give you a high. However, everyone can react differently to CBD, so consult your doctor for more specific advice if you are concerned about its effects.
You should choose to use only 100% CBD from companies that certify the assay of their CBD product as having Zero- no THC, not even the DEA accepted level allowed which is 0.3% THC. Those having “trace” THC or 0.3% will have the THC showing up in drug tests— THC accumulates even at this %age and shows up in screens, which shows positive for THC and fail company drug tests. So DEA says it’s ok for companies to have this much and be legal, but that does not mean it doesn’t show up in drug tests.
The only safe way to go is to use certified assayed 0% THC , 100% CBD. Most gummies still have the 0.3% THC as an FYI
So, best to use CBD only drops for under the tongue. Suggest one company based in NC:

Example product CBD only- no THC:

Here are others from Medical News Today, all of which provide COA of the assay lab values for CBD only- the only assured way to not have THC show up in your screening lab tests,provided you aren’t taking anything else that has THC, that is, in addition to CBD only. Hope this makes sense.

I quit smoking 30 years ago by swigging Louisiana Brand Jalepeno sauce straight from the bottle every time I wanted a smoke.
The burn in your mouth causes an endorphine release that eventually overwrites the nicotine addiction pathway in your brain
While also satisfying the oral comfort habituation.
Also super cheap compared to all the other cessation aids.
Also, I still swig hot sauce when stressed or bored.
wrt … is it so hard to type real words?
CBD is an anti inflammatory and an anti epileptic. It won’t do anything for smoking cessation.
Mild THC will help with withdrawal symptoms.
Had a client who lost his job with a federal contractor because of medical marijuana use. The feds preferred he use opiates.
They were randomly tested
I have never heard of hospital workers, school workers or federal agency workers being tested.
All also accept fed funding.
Drug tests generally test for any/all cannabinoids, and CBD is a cannabinoid.
I worked on a contract in 2017 that required very complex software engineering for aircraft flight performance. We were looking for another software engineer for the team. One applicant admitted up front that he was a regular user of marijuana. That ended his consideration for the contract. There is no way we want to be responsible for splashing an aircraft and having to explain that a software error was introduced by a marijuana using developer.
With few exceptions, employers in California are not allowed to test form marijuana as a condition of employment and can’t fire or refuse to hire for a positive test.
You will pop positive for thx use
