3rd class medical test for Marijuana?

[Cpatterson]

Does the faa test for Marijuana on the class 3 medical certification? 

[helonorth]

No. No drug test for any class.

[Anitegrav]

From what I’ve seen, the FAA doesn’t include a drug test for marijuana in the 3rd class medical exam itself.

I went the safe route and only used cbd isolate bulk before my test since it's pure CBD with no THC. Even trace THC from full-spectrum stuff can show up on a urinalysis, and that's not a fun conversation with the AME. I sourced mine from a reputable place with solid COAs just to be sure.

There's an easy fix, STOP USING CBD.   

 

I'm sure an OTC NSAID will work the same way CBD is doing for you
