🕒 How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System?
While CBD itself is not targeted in most standard drug tests, it still remains in your body for a measurable time:
-
Half-life (oral): 1–2 days or up to a week with chronic use (stillwatertreatment.com)
-
Urine: 3–7 days for occasional users; up to 15–30 days with frequent or high-dose use (namacbd.com)
-
Blood: detectable for about 1–2 days after single use, possibly up to a week if used daily
-
Saliva: 24–48 hours (nuleafnaturals.com)
-
Hair: up to ~90 days, though hair-based CBD testing is rare (stillwatertreatment.com)
Factors affecting elimination: dose, frequency, metabolism, body fat, and method of consumption (e.g., edibles last longer than vapes) .
🧪 Will CBD Show Up on a Drug Test?
1. CBD itself ❌
Standard drug panels do not screen for CBD—only THC or its metabolites (nuleafnaturals.com, cannabisclinic.co.nz).
2. THC contamination ⚠️
Most CBD products come from hemp (≤ 0.3% THC), but full-spectrum varieties can contain trace THC. Over time and with high doses, THC-COOH can accumulate and trigger a positive result (verywellhealth.com).
A study found ~21% of products mislabeled as “zero THC” actually contained detectable THC, and users of these had positive drug screens (vumc.org).
3. Testing thresholds
Urine tests typically use a 50 ng/mL cutoff for THC-COOH. Hair tests detect usage for up to 90 days. Blood and saliva tests are more sensitive to recent use only (en.wikipedia.org).
🛡️ How to Avoid a Positive Drug Test
-
Choose THC-free products (broad-spectrum or isolate).
-
Check third-party lab reports (COAs).
-
Monitor dosage & frequency—keep it low and occasional.
-
Wash out ahead of testing—stop use at least a week before if in doubt.
