Cannabidiol mimics the shape of naturally occurring macromolecules in the human body, called endocannabinoids. For that reason, the human body also has receptors for these compounds (CB1 and CB2) that then signal a cascade of several pathways causing the proposed benefits of CBD.
If you are concerned about testing positive - or want a lower risk of a positive test result - you may want to consider our Isolate CBD products since they have 0% THC in them. But Isolates may not be as effective as a Full Spectrum CBD oil (contains <0.3% THC). The Full Spectrum CBD Oil includes other cannabinoids that have been reported to increase potency.
Also be advised that some drug tests these days are now looking for the presence of CBD and other cannabinoids in addition to THC. For that reason, with any CBD product, a positive drug test result cannot be ruled out. If routine testing is required by your employer, best practice is to discuss with them your use of these products.

Certain medications, like anticoagulants (ex. warfarin) and anti-epileptic drugs have a wide variety of drug-drug interactions due to their metabolism. These medications and others may have metabolic interactions with CBD that either preclude their use, or require extra monitoring. More information on if CBD is safe for you can be provided by your doctor, or local pharmacist.
"Start low, titrate slow"
