You may have just discovered that you need to take a drug test. You tried to do everything right. You use legal Delta 8 THC Gummies instead of marijuana. But you may end up with a positive drug test anyway! How long does Delta 8 stay in your urine? How can you pass the drug test? How do you flush Delta 8 from your system? Read on to learn more.
Will Delta 8 Make You Fail a Drug Test?
All forms of THC are very similar so it is possible that Delta 8 could cause you to fail a drug test even though it is federally legal. Delta 8 products must contain less than 0.3% Delta 9 TCH by dry weight in order to be legal, but they may still contain trace amounts of Delta 9 THC which can certainly cause a positive result on a test.
How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Body?
The length of time Delta 8 stays in your body varies from person to person. Delta 8 can be found in hair for as long as three months, but it is usually only detected in blood for a day or two. The most common way for THC to be detected is by testing a urine sample.
How Long Does Delta 8 Stay in Your Urine?
Delta 8 is detected in urine in the same way that Delta 9 THC is detected in urine. And the length of time that it can be detected is also about the same. For new users who just used Delta 9 or Delta 8 THC once or twice it may only take a couple of days for it to cycle through your system. For heavier users it may be detectable for a month or more.
Does Delta 8 Show Up on a Urine Test?
Even though the drug test you are taking isn’t testing for Delta 8 THC, your result could still show up positive for THC. Depending on the type and sensitivity of the test it may be unlikely for it to be able to decipher between Delta 9 and Delta 8 and/or the test may come back positive because of trace amounts of Delta 9 THC.
How to Flush Delta 8 From Your System
There are so many potions and products that claim to flush Delta 8 and Delta 9 THC from your system. Many blogs tout the use of teas, apple cider vinegar or cranberry juice to help your body detox. Probably the best way to flush your system is by simply loading up on water.
There are so many variables that affect how long Delta 8 stays in urine. So, it is very hard to know for sure if you will be ready for a drug test. We suggest being upfront with whoever is testing you so that they are aware you use a legal form of THC. If you know you will be drug tested, you should consider avoiding Delta 8 for at least one month prior to a drug test. There isn’t a magical cure to detoxing from THC. Drink plenty of water and electrolytes to help your body flush out and dilute the Delta 8 naturally. Otherwise, time is your friend.
