Will CBD Baths Salts Get Me High Or Make Me Fail a Drug Test?

The first part of that question gets an unequivocal “no”, and the second part gets a very strong “probably not”.

If you only use bath salts infused with CBD, there’s absolutely no way you’ll get high or fail a drug test. Both require THC.

You’re still not going to get high if you use THC-based bath salts. It’s just not going to happen, no matter how much you use or how long you soak. The oils in the salt will not penetrate deep enough into your skin to hit your bloodstream, and you only get high when THC reaches your brain via your blood.

You will probably feel very relaxed, but relaxed is not high.

To date, there have been no reports of failed drug tests due to topical CBD product like bath salts, with one exception: high-THC transdermal patches. These products are very different from a bath product or topical lotion. They are designed to deliver medication through the skin directly into the bloodstream over the course of hours or days. However, if you’re concerned about passing a drug test for any reason, play it safe and don’t use any cannabis products at all.

The use of cannabis bath salts does come with one important warning message. They contain oils that can make your tub extremely slippery. You run a much bigger risk of having a slip-and-fall injury while using CBD-infused bath salts than getting high or failing a drug screening. So please, be careful!
