    CBD is supposed to contain less than 0.3% THC. But there is no oversight, no required testing of the products by the feds or anyone. There have been many instances of truckers getting a random and failing because of their use if these products, leaving them having to complete a SAP program.
    In 2021, The FMCSA issued a warning about the use of CBD products by truckers.

    There are certain manufacturers that certify their products as 100% THC-free (0.0%, not the allowed 0.3%). I have used those in the past, and I would only ever consider those.

    And yes, they actually cost more than the regular products.

    As well as what? I have been a CDL holder for decades, so I haven't used anything that does contain THC.

    CBD is also much more potent than THC. I've got a long 120+ day wait ahead of me before i can start still. (hair isnt clean until 90 days after urine is)
    I smoked CBD delta 8 vape pens every day for over a year, i'm 5'7 and 155 pounds. I stopped smoking over a month ago, took a urinalysis at home and tested positive for THC

    This wasnt the case when i smoked regular marijuana a few years ago, i used to be able to drink a ton of water and sweat it out of my system in under 2 weeks. If you've smoked Delta 8, or CBD in any form in the last 3-4 months, it's still with you.

    Also, the Delta 8 i smoked regularly claimed to have 0% THC, but theres somthing about it that breaks down into proteins shared with THC. It might be a milder high and only last a fraction of the time, but it's far more potent and lingers in the body for ages.

    That's funny that they made that claim, because Delta-8 is short for "Delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol."

    My wife used to work at a CBD shop. I learned a lot about it through her and the literature she would bring home.

    Hey it works, people like me, dumb enough to ingest things we know absolutely nothing about, 100% assume it's a legal and safe alternative.
    They know we're not bright enough to understand it so they claim 0% THC and we buy it up lol.

    It’s weird how it affects everyone differently. I’ve used it for years, and have taken multiple drug tests and never had an issue. I always buy the same brand, that is 3rd party tested, and I don’t use it every day, either. I test myself regularly, and also have had a dozen or so randoms, and have never had a problem.

    Guess it depends on the manufacturer and their level of honesty with the product. But then again, i was an every day user. Multiple rips each day, stoned from Delta 8 from morning til night, going through a 3gram vape of it in 2 weeks, very concentrated i guess lol.

    If you can't trust the people selling snake oil, who can you trust?
