Categories:Drug Facts

You've never taken illegal drugs and substances. However, you've recently tried out vapes or gummies with Delta-8 THC.

You heard that Delta-8 is legal so you didn't think twice about it. But now, you're worried that Delta-8 THC will show up on your drug test. Will it?

Many people are anxious about drug tests, wondering if they will pass. This is understandable — a failed drug test can mean big trouble at work or school. If you're worried because you have a drug test coming up, this blog post is for you.

To put your mind at ease, we'll explore the question of whether Delta 8 will show up on a drug test. We'll also talk about what you can do to prepare for your drug test and make sure that you pass it.

So if you're worried about whether Delta 8 will show up on your drug test, keep reading! We'll help clear things up for you.

What Is Delta-8 THC?

Delta-8 THC is a cannabinoid. It's a form of THC that can be extracted from cannabis and hemp plants. It's considered a minor cannabinoid because it's present in smaller amounts than Delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD (cannabidiol), and other cannabinoids in the cannabis plant.

Delta-8 THC has an almost similar chemical structure to Delta-9 THC. The difference is that the double bond of Delta-8 is at the 8th carbon chain. On the other hand, the bond on the Delta-9 is at the 9th chain.

Delta-8 and Delta-9 THC also have other differences. Delta-8 is less potent and the effects of Delta-8 are milder.

Is Delta-8 THC Legal in the United States?

The 2018 Farm Bill legalized hemp. And because you can extract Delta-8 THC from legal hemp, this cannabinoid is now legal on a federal level.

As of 2022, Delta-8 THC is also legal in 32 states as long as the product does not contain more than .3 THC.

Keep in mind that different states have their own laws about cannabis. So before you purchase any cannabis products containing Delta-8, make sure to check your state's laws first.

Does Delta 8 Show Up on a Drug Test?

Delta 8 Show Up On A Drug Test

Yes. When you consume Delta 8 products, it will show up on a drug test.

Even though Delta 8 is a minor cannabinoid, drug tests can still detect this substance. A routine drug test will usually test for Delta-9 THC, which is an illegal substance.

However, drug tests do not test for the specific type of THC. Instead, tests like urine tests look for THC metabolites produced by the body called THC-COOH.

If you've taken any product with Delta 8 THC, this metabolite will be present in your body and will show up on a drug test.

Can Delta 8 Make You Fail a Drug Test?

Yes, Delta-8 THC can make you fail a drug test.

The bad news is that THC molecules stay in your system for days and even longer if you are a heavy user. When you consume THC, it is stored in fat cells. This means that your body cannot get rid of the THC quickly.

Even if you're taking legal Delta-8 products, it's possible to get a false positive for Delta-9 as the test is testing for THC-COOH metabolites.

What to Do If You Fail a Drug Test Because of Delta 8 THC?

If you fail a drug test because of Delta 8 THC, the best thing to do is to talk to your employer or school.

You can explain that the substance you have taken is in fact legal and that you did not know that it would show up on a drug test.

In most cases, they will be understanding and will not take any disciplinary action against you.
However, if your employer has a zero-tolerance policy for any THC, you might face some consequences.

So if you're taking Delta 8 products, make sure to check your company's policy on THC first.

How to Prepare for a Drug Test After Using Delta 8?

If you're worried about failing a drug test because of Delta 8 THC, the best thing to do is to refrain from taking any products with this cannabinoid for at least 30 days.

This will give your body enough time to clear the THC from your system. If you're a heavy user, it might take even longer for the THC to completely clear from your system.

To be on the safe side, it's best to avoid taking Delta 8 THC products altogether. If your employer or school is testing for THC, they will most likely not differentiate between Delta 8 and Delta 9.

So it's best to stay away from any products containing this cannabinoid if you don't want to fail a drug test.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

    • Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
