Cycling Frog's delicious and effective THC products have become a favorite for many of our customers across the country. But with their growing popularity comes a very important and practical question that we hear often: Does Cycling Frog show up on a drug test?
Let's be perfectly clear and direct: Yes, consuming any Cycling Frog THC product can, and likely will, result in a positive drug test for cannabis.
This blog is here to explain exactly why this is the case, so you can make fully informed decisions that are right for your lifestyle and obligations.
The Key Ingredient: Real THC
The reason Cycling Frog seltzers and gummies are so popular is that they work. They provide a genuine, enjoyable cannabis experience because they are made with authentic Delta-9 THC. This is the exact same psychoactive compound found in medical and recreational cannabis products sold in dispensaries.
Delta-9 THC is the most well-known cannabinoid, responsible for the classic euphoric "high", and it's the specific compound that cannabis laws primarily regulate. It is also the specific compound that standard drug tests are designed to detect.
How Drug Tests Work: Searching for THC Metabolites
It's crucial to understand that a drug test does not and cannot determine if the THC you consumed was from a federally legal hemp product or a state-legal marijuana product. The legality of the source is irrelevant to the test's outcome.
When you consume Delta-9 THC, your body metabolizes it, breaking it down into byproducts called metabolites (primarily THC-COOH). These metabolites are stored in the body and are what standard drug tests screen for in your urine, blood, or hair. A positive test simply confirms that THC metabolites are present, indicating recent cannabis use.
So...Will Delta 9 Show On Drug Test Results?
Unequivocally, yes. Because Cycling Frog products contain real Delta-9 THC, consuming them will introduce THC metabolites into your system. Therefore, if you are subject to any form of drug screening, will Delta-9 show on drug test results is a question with a straightforward and consistent answer. The test will not distinguish the legal source of the THC; it will simply detect the presence of its metabolites.
But How is Cycling Frog Legal Then?
This is where the distinction between a product's legal status and its effect on a drug test becomes critical. Cycling Frog's legality is based on the 2018 Farm Bill, which defines legal hemp by its Delta-9 THC concentration — it must be at or below 0.3% of the product's total dry weight. The products are legal to produce, sell, and purchase because they are derived from hemp and adhere to this federal concentration limit.
We understand this can be confusing, which is why we've written a detailed explanation on this topic. You can learn exactly how Cycling Frog products are legal in our previous article.
The most important takeaway is this: federally legal to purchase and consume does NOT mean you will pass a drug test.
Your Responsibility as a Consumer
Given this information, the takeaway is simple. If your employment, athletic participation, or any other aspect of your life requires you to pass a drug test for cannabis, you should not consume Cycling Frog THC products or any other product containing THC, regardless of its legal status.

FAQ
Will even one 5mg Cycling Frog seltzer make me fail a drug test?
It is very possible. Any amount of THC can create detectable metabolites in your system. The risk is never zero.
What about CBD-only products and drug tests?
Products made with CBD isolate (pure CBD) are extremely unlikely to cause a positive test. However, "full-spectrum" CBD products contain trace amounts of THC and carry a small risk of flagging a sensitive test.
How long does THC stay in your system?
This varies dramatically from person to person based on factors like frequency of use, metabolism, body fat percentage, and hydration. It can range from a few days for a single use to over 30 days for frequent users.
Is there a way to pass a drug test after using THC?
The only guaranteed way to pass a drug test for cannabis is to abstain from consuming THC. This blog does not provide medical or legal advice on circumventing drug tests.
So, are Cycling Frog products "real" THC?
Yes. They contain authentic, hemp-derived Delta-9 THC, the same psychoactive compound found in medical and recreational marijuana.
