Interestingly, I am a transplant coordinator and I used to manage the UNOS Waitlist and have been faced with a similar situation. I have a very hedged opinion in this topic. Due to the fact that one has to be completely honest with the transplant team and Rolando has obviously not been as evidenced by by not reporting CBD use prior to the pain management doctor finding CBD in his or blood or urine. Reason being is someone had to die to give him a liver and using restricted substances say #1 if I am not going to follow the rules of the program before I get my Liver then why would I follow them after I Get my Liver. In which case this makes him a higher risk of rejection. Having said that I do agree there is a place for CBD. BUT the risks of cancers from smoking it are real and a lot is still not known about side effects. When you have a transplanted organ in you you must take anti rejection drugs. Those anti rejection drugs can and will increase the risks of fast growing cancers so any behaviors such as use of program bannned substances can and will get you removed from the waitlist or never approved! However, you can be listed at as many transplant centers as you want to be and all qualifying criteriais different from program to program.
There are programs more lenient and I believe more to follow lienincy IF IT IS REPORTED PRIOR TO FINDING IT IN YOUR SYSTEM. You have to be completely honest with your transplant program. Rolando, I wish you the best and truly am sorry this is happening to you. I suggest you go to doctor who referred you to Transplant and ask for him to evaluate you for CBD and if he deems it needed to order and re refer you. Another thought is… what’s more important, the CBD Oil or a new Liver. I wish you luck and encourage you to apply to big city programs.

This is not usually the case; however, it can happen.

He DEA made this public knowledge in a lawsuit just this year against the Hemo association and can be found on their website as well. It is misinformation such as this that is beyond frustrating in the fight for understanding! Know the law, do your research. Please do not misinform others.

Opioids are not the answer. I always recommend alternative medicine as an option. This article was great!
