Cannabidiol (CBD oil) products are legal to purchase and available at drugstores, grocery stores, and even convenience stores. Many individuals now use CBD for the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, and depression and topical rubs to relieve chronic pain and inflammation without the mind-altering effects of marijuana. But will you fail a drug test if you’re using CBD oils for legitimate medical reasons?
Cheaters can be quite dramatic when caught. Earlier this year we had a female donor try to pass yellow ammonia off as urine, this happens a few times a year here at our clinic. Although it is yellow it really looks nothing like urine to a seasoned collector. Just to confirm our suspicions we usually use one of our 5 senses (smell) to confirm. If you ever put ammonia close to your nose you know right away what it is, is quite pungent.
A rigorous drug and alcohol testing program is an important way to ensure that commercial vehicle drivers are alcohol-free while on duty and drug-free at all times. But what happens when an employer orders the wrong test or the lab uses the wrong form?
