Would consuming Rockstar Unplugged, with hemp seed oil, result in a positive urinalysis?

Rockstar Energy drinks have just developed a new formula. This new mix has 80mg of caffeine and a blend of hemp seed oil and B vitamins. Would consuming this result in a positive urinalysis test?

Do your own research rather than listen to what strangers are telling you. What did they tell you during your substance abuse briefings?

Depending on how much hemp seed oil is in it....and bearing in mind that the test done by the military is very sensitive.....yea, it could possibly pop positive. Personally, IMHO, why take the risk? Just don't drink or take anything with hemp NOR CBD.

How about just no? Just don't do it while you're in the military. Better to be safe than sorry right?

SPC Private RallyPoint Member As a UPL for my unit, I can tell you it certainly COULD pop hot, so if you are looking to separate, drink up... if you like your career and are looking forward to a positive ETS at the end of it; I would recommend you move on to another drink option. However, the seed of the hemp plant does not contain (or at the least a very small amount) THC or CDB; but given the sensitivity of our testing it will most likely come back suspicious and you will be retested, and there will be an inquiry into your consumption.

It would depend on if the hemp oil is full spectrum, broad spectrum, or Isolate. Full Spectrum Hemp Oil contains about .3% THC. I don't know if that would test hot, but I wouldn't chance it. It isn't enough to give you a buzz. Broad Spectrum and Isolate Hemp Oil has had that little bit of THC removed and should not make you test hot. Your Mileage May Vary.

If you're asking, "Can I blame my positive UA on the hempseed?", the answer is no, the hempseed will not cause you to test positive for THC.

However, you're double screwed because Hemp is still on the DOD restricted list
