Hi Folks,

Here's wishing all of you well. I wanted to check with you because I was told that I needed a medical marijuana card to use CBD oil which is hemp seed oil.
I applied for a new job and they are willing to hire me except I don't have a card for CBD. I live in New York. My Dr. told me I don't need the card,
do any of you know if I need a card for cbd oil (hemp seed oil). Thanks for you time and help. May God Bless All of You!

It appears as though that you are supposed to have a card to use medical marijuana, yes, but that does not mean that medical marijuana is illegal... only recreational marijuana is illegal.

I found an article at the following link which seems to spell things out in pretty simple terms:

Now, this article seems to apply to marijuana, not CBD oil. So I'm not sure if there's a difference.
 
Hi resaebiunne,

Thanks for all of the info. I really appreciate it. I spoke with my local pharmacist and they told me I don't need one because I'm using hemp seed oil and not the full medical marijuana. It's crazy here in NY one person will tell me I need it and another person tells me I don't. I will probably end up checking with a lawyer to play it safe. Wishing you only the best and May God Bless You!

If what you have has THC in it, you will fail a drug test. End of story.

Even if you have a card (so do i) and the company policy is everyone takes a test, the THC will make you fail....(if whatever you have contains it).

typically, if you do not get your CBD from a dispensary, you will be fine.

If your CBD comes from a medical mj dispensary, you need to take a break from it to pass their test.
 
Hi gymrat827,

The CBD I use has only 1-2% of THC the rest is all CBD oil which I get from a company that sends it in the mail. I found out today that a local store sells it so I may check that out also.
Thanks for your help and time. I wish you only the best and May God Bless You!

if you will be taking a drug test.....Id stop this stuff for a bit.

1-2% thc will still make you fail.
