What Are the Side Effects of CBD (CannaBiDiol) Oil?
Clinical research has shown that CBD oil can cause side effects. In one study, 91% of people with seizure disorders who took the prescription product Epidiolex had side effects from the medicine.30 The specific side effects and their severity vary from one person to the next and from one type of CBD to another.
Common Side Effects;;
The most common side effects of CBD oil that were reported include the following:
- Change in appetite,
- Drowsiness or fatigue,
- Diarrhea,
- Change in liver enzymes,
Severe Side Effects;;
Severe side effects have been noted in people with treatment-resistant epilepsy (ongoing seizures despite multiple medications). These include:
- Status epilepticus, a life-threatening medical emergency where a seizure lasts longer than five minutes,
- Pneumonia,
Also, consider that CBD products are not regulated and may be adulterated or labeled misleadingly. One study found that 21% of CBD products sold online also had THC[Tetrahydrocannabinol, 테트라히드로칸나비놀 (마리화나의 주성분)],
Severe side effects of THC, particularly at doses above 2.4 milligrams (mg), can be quite severe and include:
- Anxiety,
- Impaired cognition 인식장애 ; lowered IQ scores and memory loss,
- Psychosis; including suspiciousness, emotional withdrawal, and hallucinations,
If you notice these effects while using CBD oil, discontinue and discuss them with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.
Adolescent users are at increased risk of psychological disorders from THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol). These psychological disorders include an increased risk of psychosis and schizophrenia.
Do not drive or use heavy machinery when taking CBD oil—especially when you first start using it or switch to a new brand. Remember that some products do contain THC(Tetrahydrocannabinol), even in small amounts.

Precautions;;
Your healthcare practitioner may advise against using CBD oil if you:
- Have liver disease: CBD oil may increase liver enzymes, a marker of liver inflammation.30 Talk with your healthcare provider before taking CBD oil. You may need to check your liver enzymes regularly if you use CBD.
- Have eye issues: CBD oil may also cause eye-related side effects.
a 2018 study found that it may increase pressure inside the eyes. For people with glaucoma, this can make the condition worse. Some people also report dry eyes as a side effect of CBD oil.
- Are pregnant or nursing: You should not use CBD oil if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.7 Even though the effects of CBD are not fully understood, it does pass through the placenta.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) further states that pregnant people should not use marijuana products because of the potential risks to developing fetuses.
- Drink alcohol or take other sedating medications: Using CBD with these drugs could cause excess drowsiness.
