CBD oil for Neuropathy

I have read about the benefits of CBD oil and want to try it for my neuropathy; however, I am in the education field and am subject to random drug screenings and tests. Online, there are mixed reviews about whether you will fail a drug screening if you are using topical CBD oil. Does anyone have direct experience with this? Have you passed or failed a drug screening after using CBD oil topically? I cannot afford to lose my job for many reasons including that if I lose my job, I lose my health insurance. If I test positive, I am also subject to losing my teaching license (and thus my career). If a physician gives you a prescription for CBD oil (knowing that it does not require a Rx and that it is readily available online), does this protect you legally if you fail a drug test? I am on medication for my ADHD and have to do drug screenings every 3 months in order to continue with my prescription for that with my primary care physician as well. Honestly, because I am not a drug user, I never asked a lot of questions about the screenings and simply jumped through the hoops, but I also wonder if I test positive if they will discontinue that medication as well. So many considerations.....

Personally, I would much rather use CBD oil than other alternatives, but am concerned.

Thanks

I really think if you have doctors notes prescribing CBD, you cannot get into trouble. There are laws protecting the disabled, as well. I also do not think you would fail a drug test on CBD oils, because you are not ingesting the active part of the hemp plant. I would even talk to your principal and be honest. Also, I have terrific CBD salve and drops I swear by. They save me. If you want to know more, you just order on line. Very reputable. The salve is a godsend. I was a teacher also. Good luck, my friend. Lori Renee
