Will Delta 8 Pens Cause You to Fail a Drug Test?

THC Delta 8 may show up on a regular drug test, as it has many characteristics similar to those of THC Delta 9.This means that if you know you will be tested for cannabis, it is best to avoid products with Delta 8 altogether. However, if you don't pass a standard urine drug test, you can ask your employer to retest you using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. This test will yield more accurate results because it specifically looks for the unique metabolites of THC Delta 9.In the US, as long as your Delta 8 THC product contains less than 0.3% THC Delta 9, it is legal to purchase. Even after the perceptible effects of THC Delta 8 have worn off, its “trail” remains in the body and can be detected during a drug test.

The risk of becoming anxious or paranoid is also low with THC Delta 8, which is why many people are turning to it now. That said, it's best to refrain from consuming Delta 8 THC until you know you'll be safe if you learn about an upcoming drug test. If you don't pass a drug test due to the presence of THC Delta 8, the best thing to do is talk to your employer or school. Fortunately, you can ask your employer to repeat the test using the gas chromatography method, since it is only looking for the exact type of delta 9 metabolites.

Many factors, such as age, weight, metabolism, drug half-life, frequency of use, and level of hydration, can affect how long THC delta 8 metabolites remain in the body.
