Millar et al., (2020) prove that taking CBD oil in high doses is not healthy. Too much cannabidiol in the body brings unwanted effects that are not easy to deal with. The seriousness of CBD overdosing depends on;
CBD overdose is becoming common for most users. Cannabidiol works well if taken in the right amount. So, never take more than you should. Most CBD manufacturers explain to consumers the recommended dosage by providing instructions in the product's packaging. Ensure you follow those instructions when using CBD oil. Doing so will protect you from overdosing.
