Weed? CBD? New products, new laws are causing confusion in the workplace

From makeup and oils to capsules for stress relief, cannabis-based goods are flowing into the marketplace. But while they may not get you high, they can still cause you problems at work.

It's not clear how many American workers have been disciplined or fired because they tested positive for THC after using CBD products, but there have been instances and it's a problem that could grow. "Somebody may test positive," says Barry Sample, the senior director of science and technology for the drug testing laboratory Quest Diagnostics."It's not the CBD itself that's the problem. It's contamination with THC that may be present in the specimen.''

A clerk at the store where she purchased the capsules also told Hales the company that made them tested its own employees after they used the product. None of the results came back positive. Employers are having difficulties navigating the legal changes. Nearly 25% of human resource managers say they"are extremely challenged'' trying to comply with the various laws,of more than 700 professionals by XpertHR, an online resource for the industry.

A New York City law says that as of May, employers with at least four people on staff cannot require a job applicant to take a test for marijuana as a condition of being hired.

I'm one of those, never ,not once used anything illegal. Yet I'm fired

Like no body saw this coming? Only going to get worse. Like blaming Vapers for deaths from Vaping HTC. They are going to get High...period. Don't believe it's because of CBD oils...just saying.

Just have a discussion with supervisors and have them “in the loop” as to why you need CBD and request a test before and after so the boss understands the situation— This isn’t difficult

Don’t use the CBD end of story ! Especially if you want to keep your job .

Keep hearing no THC in these products. What is going on. Readily available and promoted.

Companies owns the laws level , if you are ready to work then ready to face the test

CBD has extremely low levels of THC. I doubt people are testing positive for it. They're probably testing positive for a different metabolite.

Companies do drug test and they can.

Weed may not help cancer pain, study saysA new study casts doubt on the popular notion that smoking weed or using CBD may help cancer patients cope with pain. If the pain is neuropathic in nature rather than nociceptive pain, it helps a lot. It's like turning the volume down on the pain level, rather than just serving as a drug-induced distraction. (58 years old, 38 years of living pretty severe neuropathy) A new study everyday claiming this or that,.. live and let live,..
