The infamous Cannabis extract CBD seems to have some adverse side effects…
Over 1.3 million brits are said to use some form of CBD, a chemical that is added to food, oils and lotions.
The reasoning behind taking the extract is that CBD is said to decrease anxiety, depression and help treat insomnia and other pains. However, researchers have found some potentially concerning side effects that may include drooling and diarrhoea, to damage to the important bodily systems such as the reproductive and immune system. Eek.
Researcher Alan Boobis said: “These are certainly potential side effects of CBD and those taking it should be aware of these.” And rightly so.
The British CBD industry is thought to be worth over £300 million, despite definitive and solid research showing benefits and drawbacks of its use.
