Why can't you try CBD? Especially creams/lotions. It doesn't get you high, thats THC. Or does both show up in drug tests? I honestly don't know. It's been 10 years since I've needed a drug test (and that was only for real drugs lol)

Yeah, DOT does random drug tests all the time, and they are very sensitive to TCH/CBD. I met a trucker who got busted by a test 32 days after having some. Lost his license for a year. Truckers can't have it, even with a prescription.

Wow, that sucks. I didn't realize those tests were so sensitive. Which I guess that's good, since you guys are on the roads all the time, but dang, that's a strict policy. I had no idea, thanks for the information!

I tried cbd drops 2 times years ago that claimed there was no thc content. Got piss tested 2 weeks later at work and tested positive for thc. Fortunately my employer couldn't take action on positive thc testing due to changing state laws at the time.

Just fyi, topicals don’t absorb into the blood stream and will not get you high. No matter how much thc/cbd is in them. And they will not show a dirty drug test for that reason. That is only true for topicals though. Tinctures will absorb into the blood stream via the mucus barrier in your mouth. I still understand not taking a chance on your career. But I had to share that information so it was known.
