CBD

CBD liver damage:[edit]

A few years back, a drug that used a part of CBD in super high doses did cause liver damage in some patients. (epidiolex study)^[1]

High-dose CBD (≥1000 mg/day or ≥20 mg/kg/day) and concomitant antiepileptic drug use were identified as risk factors. No cases were reported in adults using cannabidiol doses <300 mg/day.

Does CBD cause liver enzyme increase in adults with high doses: CBD (1,500 mg/day)^[2]

But a recent study looked at natural CBD taken at normal doses and found no issues. The couple of people who did have liver issues were due to other medications and past medical history or conditions like liver disease.^[3]
