Safety Alert: Experts Warn of Potential Liver and Thyroid Damage from Long-Term CBD Use – Medical Marijuana Program Connection

Safety Alert for Long-Term CBD Use

Experts are sounding the alarm over the potential dangers of regular, long-term cannabidiol (CBD) consumption, including harm to the liver and thyroid.

Watchdog organizations have raised significant concerns about CBD products that have garnered celebrity endorsements, such as those promoted by Claudia Winkleman, for purported health and well-being benefits.

FSA’s Warning and New Limit

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has issued a major safety alert, asserting that sustained consumption of CBD derived from the marijuana plant could be ‘potentially harmful’ to vital organs like the liver and thyroid.

Consequently, the FSA has taken a groundbreaking step by drastically reducing the recommended daily intake limit for CBD from 70mg to a mere 10mg.

This marks the first time that any government food watchdog worldwide has established such a limit for CBD.

Impact on CBD Enthusiasts and Industry

The FSA’s move is likely to raise concerns among the millions of individuals who regularly incorporate CBD into their routines based on claims of anxiety and depression relief, improved sleep and relaxation, and assistance with joint pain.

This announcement also presents a significant challenge to the fast-growing CBD industry, which is valued at £690 million annually and serves over 18 million adults in the UK.

Prominent brands, including TRIP and Cannaray, are impacted, as they offer products with varying CBD concentrations.
