How long does CBD stay in saliva and urine?

The market for CBD has been booming in recent years, and many people are interested in its potential health effects. However, it is important to learn about how long CBD can remain in our body, particularly in saliva and urine.

What is CBD and how is it detected?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the many active compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the THC, it has no psychoactive effect and therefore does not cause a “high” feeling. CBD is marketed in different forms: oil, capsules, flowers, e-liquid, etc. It has soothing properties and is frequently used as part of therapeutic treatments for different conditions.
In order to detect the presence of CBD in the body, several tests can be carried out, including saliva and urine tests. However, these tests are generally more focused on detecting THC and its metabolites in the body.

Saliva and CBD tests

Saliva tests are commonly used to detect recent drug use, particularly in France where this method is widely used. They can detect the presence of THC in saliva, but their effectiveness in detecting CBD is less. Indeed, CBD metabolites are present in very low concentrations in saliva, and their detection could prove more difficult than that of THC.

Urine tests and CBD

Urine tests are also used to detect recent drug use. However, these tests primarily measure THC metabolites and not CBD metabolites. It is important to note that the length of time CBD can be detected in urine varies depending on several factors such as frequency of use, dosage consumed, and individual metabolism.

Duration of presence of CBD in saliva and urine

Several factors influence how long CBD can stay in our body. The concentration and duration of presence of CBD in saliva and urine can therefore vary from one person to another.

  • Frequency of use: People who consume CBD regularly and/or in large quantities will take longer to completely eliminate cannabidiol from their body.
  • Individual metabolism: Each individual has a unique metabolism, which means that CBD will be eliminated from the body more quickly in some people than others.
  • Potential of the test: Screening tests have different levels of sensitivity depending on the test used. Therefore, some tests may detect the presence of CBD in urine or saliva for a longer period of time than others.

In general, CBD is eliminated from saliva and urine relatively quickly. According to available studies, CBD could be detected in saliva for around 72 hours after consumption, while for urine, the delay could vary between a few days to several weeks, depending on frequency of use and individual metabolism.
It is essential to be well informed about the length of time that CBD can be present in our body to avoid any surprises during a drug test. Although saliva and urine tests are primarily used to screen for THC, the possibility of detecting CBD in these bodily fluids should also be considered.
However, remember that each individual is different and the length of time CBD is present in the body may vary depending on various factors such as metabolism, frequency of use and dosages consumed. Always consider these things if you need to take a drug test.
