I see it now 8) After looking arround I found this.
Evaluating Interference of THC in Hemp Food Products

The expansion of products from hemp seeds into their largest potential North American market, the "natural foods" sector in the U.S., now faces a significant obstacle. Flowers of industrial hemp plants contain minute quantities of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Industrial hemp varieties grown in Canada and the EU are bred to contain less than 0.3% THC in the upper portion of the flowering plant. In comparison, marijuana plants may contain 2-20% THC.

Depending on the hemp variety and the degree of seed cleaning, various amounts of THC residues can be found on the outer shells of whole seeds and in the products made from hemp seeds. The presence of THC in hemp foods has raised concern over their potential interference with employee drug-testing programs in the U.S. Studies conducted in 1995—1997 showed that eating hemp foods may in fact cause positive urine tests for marijuana. However, these studies involved the consumption of products from seeds with considerably higher THC levels–often more than 100 micrograms per gram (µg/g) or parts per million (ppm)–than are now commonly found in commercial hemp seeds in North America. Thus, these studies do not allow a realistic assessment of the potential impact of such foods on the outcome of employee drug tests. However, the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and the Office of National Drug Control Policy cite the potential interference with drug-testing programs as one of their main objections to the importation and sale of hemp foods in the U.S.

Thorough cleaning of hemp seeds typically keeps THC levels in oil and hulled seeds produced in Canada to less than 5 and 2 ppm, respectively. Regulations in Canada, the main supplier of hemp seeds to the U.S., limit THC levels in hemp seed products to 10 parts per million (ppm). In the U.S., there is currently no such standard for the concentration of THC in food items.

Good artical, but sounds a little dated? The dispensary I visit grows 100% Saliva hybrid strains that have average THC levels of 23.5, and*CBD levels of*0.30 anything higher then that...Well exactly
