Using CBD will not cause you to fail a “drug” test but it is important to understand why this is so.
There are tests available for CBD (Beem’s test was first used back in 1911), but private employers, as well as state and federal agencies screen for the specific cannabinoid THC (not found in hemp).
This is a fair distinction since CBD and THC have different sets of properties. Remember, CBD (from hemp) is non-psychoactive but for some even the smallest dose of THC (from marijuana) can trigger intense changes in perception, motor function, mood, and memory.
