We know that smoking marijuana will appear in a drug test, but do edibles show up in drug tests?

Do Edibles Show Up In Drug Tests?

Yes, edibles can show up on drug tests (urine tests and hair tests). Most drug tests are designed to detect the presence of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component in marijuana. When you consume edibles, the THC is metabolized by the liver and converted into a compound called 11-hydroxy-THC. This metabolite is also psychoactive and can be detected in a drug test.

It’s worth noting that the length of time edibles stay in your system can vary depending on various factors, such as the potency of the edible, how much was consumed, and the individual’s metabolism. Generally, THC can stay in your system for a few days to a few weeks after consumption, so it’s possible to test positive for marijuana use even if you haven’t consumed it recently.

Suppose you’re concerned about passing a drug test. In that case, it’s important to avoid consuming any form of marijuana, including edibles, for a sufficient time before the test. The exact timeframe will depend on several factors. Hence, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional or a drug testing expert for personalized advice.
