Do Buzz Packs™ make you fail a drug test?

Buzz Packs™ contain 5 mg of THC per serving, and this amount is detected by drug tests. You might receive a positive result if you undergo screening after using them.

If a drug test appears on your horizon, avoid Buzz Packs until you're in the clear. Once testing is complete, you can return to delicious THC mocktails and mild buzzes

About drug tests

Drug tests detect specific substances or their metabolites in your body. Employers, medical professionals, legal authorities, and athletic organizations use them for various purposes. The process works through:

• Sample collection of a biological specimen (urine, blood, hair, etc.).
• Initial screening with immunoassay technology that detects drug classes but may produce false positives.
• Confirmation with gas or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS or LC-MS) to verify substance presence and quantity.
• Result interpretation by a medical review officer.

Types of drug tests

The test type depends on which substance requires detection, how recent the use might be, and practical considerations, like cost and administration ease. Four types of drug tests are most commonly used.

1. Urine drug tests balance accuracy, affordability, and collection simplicity. They detect drug use from the past few days, screen for a broad spectrum of substances, and offer a non-invasive collection process.
2. Blood drug tests provide precise measurements of active drug levels at testing time. They have a shorter detection window, so they typically show use within hours to days. This method costs more and requires blood drawing but is valuable in situations requiring immediate results.
3. Hair follicle tests detect drug use over extended periods, typically up to 90 days. They resist tampering attempts, which makes them the most reliable. While more expensive than standard tests, they can assess long-term patterns of use.
4. Saliva drug tests require just a cheek swab and detect very recent drug use. They resist tampering, offer less invasive collection, and work well for workplace and roadside screenings.

What can drug tests detect?

Drug tests identify:

• Marijuana and hemp compounds
• Cocaine
• Amphetamines
• Opioids
• Phencyclidine (PCP)
• Benzodiazepines
• Barbiturates
• Methadone
• Alcohol
• Synthetic cannabinoids

THC detection thresholds

THC produces the euphoric feelings users call a "high." Most drug tests search for this compound and its metabolites. 

• Urine tests typically have an initial cutoff of 50 ng/mL and a confirmation threshold of 15 ng/mL. 
• Blood tests detect active THC with a shorter window of hours to days. 
• Hair tests offer a longer detection period of up to 90 days. 
• Saliva tests excel at identifying recent THC use.

Detection thresholds vary between test types and labs. Use frequency, metabolism, and body fat percentage influence how long THC remains detectable in your system. Even low-dose gummies and beverages such as Buzz Packs can trigger a positive result.

Our products contain THC and cannabidiol (CBD) in equal measure. While CBD doesn't typically trigger standard drug tests, products with trace THC amounts can produce positive results. This occurs more frequently with full-spectrum CBD products than with CBD isolates or broad-spectrum edibles.

If you know a drug test is coming up, skip our Buzz Packs for a while. Delta 9 products and drug tests don't mix well. Once your test is finished, you can get back to enjoying Buzz Packs without worry.

What are the ingredients of Buzz Packs?

Buzz Packs deliver a balanced experience through a simple formula. Each packet contains 10 mg of total cannabinoids (5 mg THC and 5 mg CBD). Despite the microdose of just 5 mg THC per packet, this amount is still enough to trigger a positive result on most drug tests. 

The product is made from soluble vegetable fiber (corn), BioSOL™ hemp powder CBD, and emulsified hemp extract. Each 2.5 g serving provides 2.5 g of fiber and only 3 calories with no sugar. This gluten-free, vegan formula comes without artificial additives. The powder dissolves completely in any beverage without affecting its flavor.

This measured dose creates noticeable but manageable effects. For milder results, you can start with half a packet (5 mg total cannabinoids). The powder mixes best with at least 4 ounces of liquid.

“I love these! So simple to bring along on a night out without alcohol.”

How long do Buzz Packs effects last?

Unlike smoking, which hits almost immediately, the effects of Buzz Packs begin 10 to 20 minutes after consumption. The timing depends on your metabolism and tolerance and whether you've eaten beforehand.

The effects last 4–6 hours for most people. You'll notice stronger sensations during the first half, which gradually taper into a milder social buzz. This makes these hemp drinks tailor-made for gatherings or relaxing evenings when you want a balanced experience without the hangover often associated with alcoholic beverages.

Everyone processes the active ingredients differently. New users often report feeling the effects of cannabis for longer periods, while those with more experience might find the duration shorter.

If you want to create the most delicious THC mocktails and enjoy the quick experience, infuse your beverages with our Buzz Packs. Tear open a packet, pour it into your favorite beverage, stir, and enjoy. 

Whether you prefer refreshing fruit juices, sparkling water, or non-alcoholic cocktail bases, our buzztails™ guarantee convenience without sacrificing flavor. No complicated recipes or special equipment needed.

Does repeated use affect drug screening?

Regular cannabis use changes how long THC stays in your system. When you consume cannabis frequently, THC and its metabolites accumulate in your fat cells. This extends detection times.

• Occasional users typically clear urine samples within days, while regular cannabis users might test positive for weeks or even months.
• Blood tests focus on detecting active compounds. Occasional users clear faster, while frequent users might show detectable levels for days to weeks.
• Hair tests create the most persistent record. They can reveal cannabis use for extended periods after your last dose.
• Tests using oral fluid usually catch recent use, but frequent users might test positive for a week or more.

Your metabolism, body composition, and the cannabis products you use all affect detection times. Products with higher concentrations of the main psychoactive ingredient (over 10 mg THC) build up more in body fat with regular use. 

Our Buzz Packs contain just 5 mg of THC per serving, which minimizes accumulation while still providing that balanced, light buzz you want.

What are the side effects of Buzz Packs?

Buzz Packs are gentle when used as directed. One packet gives you that perfect microdose balance of THC and CBD without triggering adverse effects. Most folks enjoy a mild euphoria and pleasant buzz when sticking to one or two packets.

If you decide to go beyond 20 mg of THC (that's more than four packets), you might notice:

• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth
• Increased appetite
• Mild anxiety
• Dizziness
• Impaired coordination

Start with just one packet to see how your body responds. You can always adjust once you know what works for your system. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so find what feels right for you and you’ll avoid these Buzz Pack side effects.
