I'm currently active duty Air Force, and just wanted to know if it is prohibited or not. Currently it is legal in all 50 states that I'm aware of, and contains no TCH in it. The only way to pop positive on a drug test for it is taking more than 1000 mg of CBD in a day, which is a lot to say the least. Does anyone have any background with this?

Honestly you should be good, CBD is for medical reasons only I believe I know it has little to no effects other then maybe lifting you up a little.

I don't think they'll test for this but I can't be 100% positive just never heard of it happening myself.

The amount of errors I made on this post made me want to kill myself..

No. But hold up.

Please know that there IS THC PRESENT in CBD Hemp Oil Products. But, the concentration has to be below .3%. The fact that it is so low is why people don't experience any sort of the "high" feeling they feel when using marijuana.

First, its important to note that when an employer, or any entity having a reason to test your urine for a drugs, contracts with a drug screen facility, the employer or other entity has the ability to set the limits of what comes back as a positive for the various drugs being tested. So, for instance, most companies set the limits the same as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) guidelines. For THC (the marijuana related cannabinoid being tested for in drug screens), this limit is 50ng/ml. This means that if the urine tested has below this amount in it, it shows as a negative test result EVEN THOUGH THERE COULD BE SOME THC present. Anything at that level or above, of course, shows as a positive test result and requires more testing to confirm its findings. Its important to note that not every employer or testing entity sets this level, but it is the most common. Its virtually unheard of for any company to set the limit at 0. There would be so many issues with setting the cutoff level that low, that again, virtually no one does it.

So, now we know we generally have a little leeway in how much THC can be in someone's urine before failing a drug screen. Now, its important to discuss the presence of THC in hemp. As you may or may not know, the amount of THC in most hemp grown and all legal CBD Hemp products currently being sold in the United States is .3% or less, with most being at or below even .1%. This is such a negligible amount of THC that its virtually impossible for anyone to get any sort of 'high' or euphoric effects from hemp. Most people are using CBD Hemp Oil products in such a way that they are taking in between 1mg of CBD and 40mg of CBD per day. At these levels, the relative amount of THC is so low that any THC present in that person's urine would be low enough to report a negative test result (or passing, if you will), meaning the person would "pass" the drug test. Now, the only other thing to consider here is that, if someone were to take ultra high amounts of CBD daily, say, in the 1000-2000mg per day range, then it is possible that their urine would return a positive (or failing) test result. But, to date, I am not aware of anyone taking this much CBD, although I wouldn't be surprised to learn someone is.

The dosage would be so low anyway that it would be out of your system in 1-2 days max. No worries unless you're planning on getting tested. My brothers blow down with me every time they come in for their holiday or whatever leave they take and they're all different branches and always pass.

If you have to ask if you shouldn't do it, then you probably shouldn't do it.

You say that as if I have any idea what CBD is.

I don't know what the Air Force is raising- but in the Army they like men with integrity.
You know, doing the right thing even when know one would know if you did the wrong thing. So even if it doesn't show up, would you get kicked out if it did? If the answer is yes, then that goes back to what I was saying. If you have to ask if you shouldn't do it, then you probably shouldn't.

CBD comes from hemp (I believe) it's smoked and could be considered a drug because it's tied to THC marijuana, however it has no effects and is even used on children for medical reasoning, CBD is actually the reason one of my friends is alive.

If you walked up to your first serg and took a few drops of cbd under your tongue and told him what you were doing he wouldn't do squat(I lie hed be pissed that you're being a jack off in front of him). First off he wouldn't give a damn, and second it's L E G A L. Nothing against it lol. Military is not exactly what you think man.
