The Risks Associated with CBD Use: Informative Brochure
-
Additional Information: THC is very low in CBD preparation and a person may show THC in their system through a drug test because of accumulation in the body. The more fat a person has, the longer the THC remains in the body because it is stored in fat. Additionally, hemp plants (and various marijuana plants) have different amounts of THC causing variations in THC levels in different CBD preparations.
