Cool, CE from Rx school hinted about this as a future possibility
I'm sure a certain someone will post here shortly...

Now, all CBD oil products are illegal since there is a commercially available product.

Ok, so no psychoactive component according to the product info (Clinical pharm), but no schedule status reported as of yet.

Weight loss as an adverse drug reaction....God ****it you know how popular it will become even with liberal off label uses.

I can't speak for all insurances, but I know the one I'm working for under Caremark is putting this onto the Prior Authorization list to prevent them from using for off-label and having the insurance pay for it.

I'm ignorant on the subject since my school didn't really cover any form of medical marijuana. Would this trigger a positive result for a marijuana drug test? Or are those tests specific enough to look for specific metabolites of THC vs CBD?

I'm wondering if people taking this with a legitimate prescription would still be risking their jobs due to false positives. I believe most medical marijuana states provide no protection for patients using cannabis, but surely this would be treated differently.

I guess it depends on how they produce it.

If the CBD oil is hemp derived it is unlikely to result in a positive test. Hemp by regulation contains less than 0.3%THC. You would have to consume roughly 1000 to 2000mg/day of CBD oil to test positive. If someone would test positive because of all the cannabinoids then they would take it to the next step of GC/MS to differentiate the other cannabinoids from THC.
