Do you want to know if your blood tests show if you\u2019re taking drugs? Yes, blood tests could reveal drug use, including marijuana. But first, they need to be\u00a0targeted\u00a0<\/strong>and second,\u00a0not too much time must have passed since intake.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you need to do blood tests and worry about the results for some reason, you will find all the answers you are looking for here in this article. We will tell you when it is possible to identify drug use in the tests and whether\u00a0CBD cannabis<\/a>\u00a0can also cause problems.<\/p>\n Indoor | CBD – CBDA <22%<\/p>\n<\/div> Indoor | CBD – CBDA < 19%<\/p>\n<\/div> Indoor | CBD – CBDA < 40%<\/p>\n<\/div> Indoor | CBD – CBDA < 20%<\/p>\n<\/div> Let\u2019s start immediately.<\/p>\n Blood carries the nutriment for the cells in our body, so every substance we consume necessarily passes through our circulatory system.<\/p>\n It is why blood tests can identify the possible use of drugs, alcohol, medicines, and much more.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In order for tests to prove drug use, they must evaluate the presence of substances or metabolites (i.e., substances that our bodies process to promote their assimilation). So, we\u2019re talking about actual toxicology tests, not the usual blood test.<\/p>\n Whatever the reason for their taking place \u2014 screening, work reasons, different types of studies \u2014 blood toxicology tests can demonstrate\u00a0the absorption of the following main substances:<\/strong><\/p>\n However, blood tests have a limit: blood is a vector, so it retains the substances for a minimum time only.<\/p>\n Read also: <\/strong>THC effects in the long term: here\u2019s what can happen to chronic smokers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n You have read so far that, to analyse alcohol and drug use, the use of special tests is mandatory. Drug use is not found in \u201cnormal\u201d blood tests such as blood count, blood sugar, iron (for the passage of iron into the blood), etc.<\/p>\n However, we also said that blood would carry substances to the cells and that\u00a0THC and other drugs<\/strong>\u00a0could only be found in them for an\u00a0extremely limited time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There is no precise timing to give, since it all depends on the individuals\u2019 metabolism \u2026 But one thing is sure: it is impossible to detect drugs in the blood\u00a0after 24 to 30 hours after taking them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Therefore, it is the perfect method to determine an individual\u2019s psychophysical altered status \u2014 perhaps after an accident \u2014 but not to check whether substance use is regular or not.<\/p>\n In addition to blood tests, there are other drug tests.<\/p>\n Traces of drugs can be found not only in the blood but in every part of the body as well. Therefore, in addition to haematological tests there are other drug tests that analyse saliva, urine, hair and sweat, with different timelines for evaluating the remaining traces.<\/p>\n The reference to \u201cdifferent timelines\u201d refers to the period during which these tests cover the use of substances, in this case, one or more drugs. Our body absorbs all the substances we take and stores them for a limited period (different periods for each part of the body).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the traceability time of the substance for blood toxicology tests is 24 to 30 hours maximum, but often much less, here is how fast drug use\u00a0can be detected<\/strong>\u00a0in other tests:<\/p>\n There are also quick drug tests that you can buy at the pharmacy and that you can carry out in the privacy of your home to immediately get the answers you are looking for!<\/p>\n Read also: <\/strong>THC & brain: short and long term effects and damage<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n CBD weed<\/a>\u00a0is the name of legal marijuana with\u00a0a tiny THC content (less than 0.2%)\u00a0<\/strong>and a high\u00a0CBD<\/a>\u00a0content (CBD is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid).<\/p>\n Although the use of legal cannabis is not permitted in the UK, some people may use it in the same way as illegal marijuana to take advantage of the effects of CBD, a substance with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsive and many other properties.<\/p>\n THC concentrations in\u00a0CBD buds<\/a>\u00a0are deficient \u2014 otherwise, it would not be legal in the UK and throughout Europe \u2014 but the high consumption of\u00a0CBD flowers<\/a>\u00a0could still be spotted in the most effective drug testing tests, such as laboratory tests.<\/p>\n In all cases, the amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol are so\u00a0low that they are eliminated rapidly by the body<\/strong>. Therefore, there should be no concerns about the use of CBD cannabis (unless the tests are done immediately after consumption).<\/p>\n\n
