You can test positive for THC even if using the not full-spectrum CBD. I was frustrated by this and just got a medical card because I was tripping at-home drug tests (the dollar tree THC kit is actually pretty reliable btw).

But now that I'm looking for a new job and will likely be tested frequently while working on my clinical mental health master's, I have to give up a significant quality of life in order to work in this industry at this time.

My rec/med state has no protection for "safety sensitive positions," which range from truck drivers to medical doctors. Until it's federally rescheduled, people like me have to choose career and suffering or quality of life.

I've had many providers offer me narcotics, but I have no interest in them. I've tried them and they feel too good.. I've seen them destroy the lives of functioning, healthy people, both professionally and in my personal life. Non-narcotics don't make any difference, and neither do NSAIDs.

The only effective and safe way I have found to manage my pain is with weed. I would never use it on the job, and while people in my industry joke about drinking nightly for self-care, I can get fucked for wanting to run my volcano. Total bullshit...
