Will CBN Show up on a Drug Test?Updated a year ago

CBN (cannabinol) is a cannabinoid found in cannabis, and it is a metabolite of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). While CBN itself is not typically tested for in standard drug tests, some drug tests may cross-react with THC and potentially give a positive result.

If a drug test is specifically designed to detect THC or THC metabolites, and it is sensitive enough, it might pick up on the presence of CBN if it is present in significant amounts. However, most standard drug tests focus on THC and its main metabolite, THC-COOH.

It's important to note that the likelihood of testing positive for THC or any cannabis-related substance depends on various factors, including the specific type of drug test, the sensitivity of the test, the amount of CBN or THC in the body, and individual variations in metabolism.

If you are concerned about drug testing, it's advisable to avoid the use of cannabis products altogether, as the presence of cannabinoids in the body can vary and may be influenced by factors such as the type of product used, frequency of use, and individual metabolism. Always check with your employer or the organization conducting the drug test to understand their specific testing protocols.
