THC positive from ER visit but never smoked
I am deciding to get my first class medical before even starting lessons because I have two episodes of syncope that I went to the ER for back in 2023 and another ER visit 3 months later getting diagnosed with acute vestibular neuritis and wanted to see if I could even obtain a medical certificate.
I will most likely have to send my entire medical history and the ER visit for vestibular neuritis, they drug tested me and it came back positive for "Cannabis". I was surprised because I don't smoke and never have but months later realized it could've been the Full Spectrum CBD oil I was taking orally for muscle tightness/soreness that contained 0.3% THC.
Will this be a disqualifying factor or a deferral that will require a full psych eval and 12 months of testing? I'd hate to have to go through that process because of CBD. I have never smoked marijuana in my life but I guess I have no way of proving that to the FAA either..
