Some CBD users test positive for THC. This Arizona doctor has some theories why

Using CBD products should not get you a positive test for THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.

But Banner Health’s poison control center says they’ve received an increasing number of reports from people who have failed marijuana drug tests but say they’ve only used CBD.
