No, Cannabidiol (CBD) will not show up on a standard drug test (which tests for Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). According to www.USDrugtestcenters.com, you would have to consume 2000mg of CBD hemp extract just to get a residual trace amount to fail a drug test. This is equivalent to over a months supply of CBD in just one day.

Phytocannabinoids, a term used to describe cannabinoids derived from plants, are able to interact with your body’s natural systems because their makeup and behaviors mimic endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are cannabinoids that are synthesized on demand by our own bodies.

In simple terms, CO2 cannabis extraction uses pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) to pull cannabidiol (and other phytochemicals) from the plant. CO2 acts like a solvent at certain temperatures and pressures, but doesn’t pose any of the dangers. While it is safe and effective, it does involve extremely expensive equipment. These machines freeze the CO2 gas and compress it into a supercritical cold liquid state which helps extract the cannabidiol safely.
