Are you receiving any treatment at this time?

I have been on various medications but the last doctor I saw is the best. She stabilized me although its the hip that stops me from taking addictional medication because I worry about my liver. The CBD is new but from what I read it effective but will it impact my Liver? I have not been able to see my doctor since being laid off of work.

@jromanmi, I have no medical background or training but after doing a little searching it looks like it depends on how much CBD oil you are taking. Here are some articles I found that are from 2019 but I would still run it by your doctor or pharmacist to make sure there are no issues with using it with any other medications you are taking.

@jromanmi l have the same AE an HE l had people tell me about cbd matter of fact my accountant at the time was selling it. But l wasn't going to try anything l wasn't informed about. Then twice l was watching Dr. Oz and they went out to cbd shops and found out 75% don't even have the ingredients listed and also THRis in some on them. And of course non is FDA approved. And l not sure of FDA approval either because of all the opiods and recall meds. Just last week l got a letter about recalled zantac and we heard that in the news months ago. And l just getting the letter last week. Have you tried any probiotics? And also have your vitamin D levels checked for some reason lots of people are low in vitamin D. GOD BLESS.

Thc based oil like RSO oil from a licensed and legal medical cannabis dispensary have been game changers for me. Unfortunately here in Florida mayo had me stop the medical cannabis in order to move forward with my liver transplant plan. Good luck to ya and always keep your medical cannabis doctor in the Loop.

I might add... always include your medical cannabis doctor in any discussion on usage. There is a lot of misinformation out there.

My medical cannabis doctor has never heard of any problems directly associated with medical cannabis and liver. We currently have a bill pending in Florida house of reps to not exclude medical cannabis patients, especially veterans, from transplant lists because they are medical cannabis patients.

Never use any medical cannabis products not from state licensed and regulated medical cannabis dispensary. Never. Snake oil would do just as well.

Always check with your medical cannabis doctor.
