FDA statement
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. CBD products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
Not a substitute for professional care
Our articles and tools, including the CBD dosage calculator, are not a substitute for advice, diagnosis or treatment from a doctor, pharmacist or other qualified health professional. Our calculator only does label math. It does not tell you what dose is right for you.
Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first
Ask a health professional before using CBD, especially if you:
- Take any prescription or over-the-counter medicine, or supplements. The FDA says CBD can affect how other drugs work and can cause liver injury.
- Are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding. The FDA strongly advises against using CBD during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
- Have liver problems or another health condition.
Do not start, stop or change any prescribed medicine because of something you read here.
Drowsiness and driving
The FDA lists drowsiness as a possible effect of CBD and warns that combining it with alcohol or other sedating drugs raises that risk. Don’t drive or operate machinery until you know how a product affects you.
Drug tests
Some CBD products contain THC, even when the label doesn’t say so. Research has found that CBD products containing THC may cause a positive urine drug test. If you are drug tested, using CBD carries a risk.
Laws vary and change
Hemp and CBD laws differ from state to state and are changing. Our legal guides are general information and may not reflect the latest rules where you live. Check your state’s official sources, and speak to a lawyer for legal advice.
Product information
We don’t make or sell CBD. Product labels can be inaccurate, so we can’t guarantee that any product matches its label or its lab report.
In an emergency
Call 911 right away if you think you or someone else is having a medical emergency. For a possible poisoning or a child who swallowed a product, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
No professional relationship
Reading PlainCBD or emailing us does not create a doctor–patient, pharmacist–patient or lawyer–client relationship.
