Used THC products in last 6 months, stay away from CDL school.

It needs to be understood how this testing works.
The test does not look for the actual substance, it doesn’t care what the substance is. Testing looks for the metabolites that are produced by the body processing the substance. Everything you ingest has some form of chemical properties that can be found. Some of these metabolites can be at detectable levels for a very long time. THC is a good example. It is a fat soluble compound, in other words it stores in fat, and it is a cumulative compound. These types of compounds also build tolerances. The more you introduce the compounds, the more it takes to achieve the effect. The processing of the compound is in process, you then have to exceed that processing level to have any effect. Adding to the residence of the metabolic markers. If you have been using say THC compounds for 5 years at a high level, it could take a year or more to bring the metabolites to an undetectable level for a DOT test.

 

You say DOT test but most of the long life testing comes from follicle testing which is not DOT approved.

 

You're right, it's not DOT approved...but you still get fired anyway. That fact is not going away any time soon .

 

There is a reason hair testing is not DOT certified. As does blood, urinalysis and saliva testing, it looks for metabolic markers. The problem is the consistency in results. Hair testing has the highest percentage of finding only two substances, THC and Cocaine, 53 and 62 percent respectively. There are also problems with both false positives and negatives. There are a number of factors that can interfere with testing accuracy. Pigment, melanin and other compounds from foods even can affect the results

 

I just seems easier just to stay away from those products. CBD oil does help with arthritus pain and such, but you never know if all the THC has been filtered out of it.

 

You should never do drugs anyway. There I said it.

 

I assume you don't drink alcohol or smoke tobacco?

 

That's right. Substances make me very unhappy, uncreative, and uninteresting to be around...every single one of them.
