CBD may interact with other drugs used for epilepsy, and some serious side effects have been reported, the most notable being liver function decline when given to people who are already taking valproate.

Most of these patients also reported that CBD helped reduce discomfort and pain.

CBD oil has anti-inflammatory effects on the sebaceous glands and helps reduce acne-causing sebum production. CBD oil can help people with drug addiction deal with triggers of cravings and anxiety, according to a review of research published in 2015 in the journal Substance Abuse.
