- A small pilot study finds that vaping CBD products might lead to a positive urine test for marijuana, researchers report.

Vandrey's team recruited three men and three women willing to ingest 100per cent pure CBD or cannabis, whose dominant active ingredient is CBD. The cannabis samples contained 10.5per cent CBD and 0.39per cent THC. Dummy versions of both forms of CBD were also given to participants. While Vandrey allows that the amount of THC in the study's samples is 0.09per cent higher than what is allowable in hemp-derived CBD, he points out that people who use more than one dose per day of the hemp product might end up with high enough levels of THC to trigger a positive test because THC accumulates in the body.

Cooper agreed that multiple uses could bump up THC levels in the body."You would expect it to accumulate," she said."So the risk would presumably increase with daily use of those products. It's really impressive that with only one drug administration two out of six showed positive. Most people wouldn't think that would happen."
