Can you test positive for THC during a roadside check if you’ve only smoked CBD?
It’s a question many consumers ask themselves, convinced that CBD is legally risk-free. Yet the reality is far more complex: yes, it’s entirely possible to test positive, even if you’ve only consumed CBD. And the consequences can be serious.
Why CBD can lead to a positive THC test
Cannabidiol (CBD) sold legally in France must contain less than 0.3% THC, the psychoactive molecule in cannabis. But in practice :
- Some products contain sufficient traces of THC to trigger a saliva test.
- Quality varies from brand to brand: poorly controlled oils, resins or flowers can exceed thresholds.
- Individual metabolism also plays a role: in some people, residual THC remains detectable for longer.
As a result, a single joint of CBD in the wrong dose can lead to a positive test, with the same penalties as a regular cannabis user.
Penalties for testing positive for THC
Many people don’t know it, but the law makes no distinction between CBD and cannabis during a roadside test. If the test reveals THC in your system, the penalties are severe:
- 6 points deducted from licence,
- Fine of up to €4,500,
- Prison sentences for repeat offenders or accidents,
- Suspension or cancellation of driving license.
A single consumption of adulterated or poorly controlled CBD can therefore cost you your license, your job and your freedom to drive.
The real problem: dependence that maintains risk
Many consumers use CBD to “replace” cigarettes or cannabis, thinking it’s a safe alternative. But behind this reflex lies a behavioral addiction: gestures, the habit of smoking, the desire to rediscover a feeling of relaxation.
As long as this dependence exists, the risk persists: a dubious product, an unannounced inspection… and the consequences fall.
