Pre-employment Drug Testing
Did any of you brokers/agents have to get tested before hire? I’m taking CBD (which I know has caused people to fail their drug test) for a medical condition and currently interviewing at a mid-sized commercial firm.

That being said it\u2019s not a guarantee it will show up in a drug test. THC does have the capability to build up in your system over time so until your job has been secured I would advise you to stay away from full spec as even though you can technically have 0.00% THC you can still fail a drug test for THC due to that less than 0.00 percent.", "replies": [{"id": "fd1j171", "text": "Right, better safe than sorry.

Live in CO where it\u2019s legal. I buy my CBD from CBDistillery, which claims to have zero thc and posts independent lab testing results on their website.\n\nI was drug tested 3 times in 2018. I worked as a consultant and some customers require all consultants to be tested. I passed all three times.\n\nI simply avoided smoking for a week before the test, and drank a lot of water the morning of the test. I did not stop taking CBD.\n\nYou shouldn\u2019t have any issues with just CBD, but Amazon sells tests. Not expensive, around $10 for a package of them. You could buy some and test yourself at home. I did that and knew I was good.", "replies": [{"id": "fd5dpwj", "text": "Hello from CA! Thanks for the response. Can you recommend a product that you like on CBDistillery? And funny you mention, I actually did one of those amazon drug tests yesterday and I had a very faint line, which still is considered a pass, but iffy nonetheless. I guess that could be the thc slowly building up over time from full spectrum CBD flower. Glad to hear you haven\u2019t had any trouble with passing your clients requested drug tests, i\u2019ll definitely be chugging water leading up to the test like you.", "replies": [{"id": "fd6gdoq", "text": "I get the 1000mg liquid version, and use a dropper full each evening.\n\nYes, I think I was also seeing the thin line on the home test and it was fine. I still passed.\n\nHowever, if you are concerned, go to a local smoke/tobacco shop. Assuming they have those in CA. They are all over here in CO. They sell a product that people who are heavy marijuana users will use to pass. It\u2019s supposed to taste awful, and I believe you drink the bottle followed by a couple of large glasses of water. I have a friend who is regularly tested at her job and she says she uses it every time.", "replies": [{"id": "fd8iw0l", "text": "Wow ok i\u2019ll be on the lookout for one of those if I get tested sooner than expected.
