Can I be allergic to CBD?
While there may be an allergic reaction in some people, there have been very few negative responses in people who have utilized CBD oil correctly at recommended dosage levels that have been reported*. Most of the literature out is based on allergies to the actual Cannabis plant, and it is usually related to touching, inhaling pollen, smoking plant material or direct ingestion. Information about refined cannabidiol oil products is virtually non-existent. Even the limited known issues researchers have isolated about diarrhea or stomach upset are most often due to high dosage use beyond recommendations, or the person is having a reaction to other agents in what they are using. The most common causes appear to be carrier oils, enhancements like artificial colors or fragrances, essential oils not meant for ingestion, residuals from processing, or other non-recommended components.
In the case of intestinal upset or diarrhea, scientists are not certain if it is CBD or the other ingredients some companies use in their extracts. Any high quantity consumption of oil will cause an intestinal response. Years ago Grandma gave you Castor Oil for anything that ailed you. Castor Bean is a known toxin and can be poisonous in sufficient quantity, but small doses can be tolerated and helpful. Even excessive amounts of fried foods can result in intestinal stress because the body is not made to utilize and handle large quantities of most oils, regardless of the source.
A person can potentially have an allergy, just like nearly anything else in the world, if they are sensitive to particular compounds in a material. The most common responses are similar to seasonal allergies or contact dermatitis, or in rare and extreme cases, anaphylactic response. People who are seriously allergic to Cannabis usually also have an allergy to almonds, apples, bananas, chestnuts, eggplant, grapefruit, peaches, and tomatoes. These foods all contain a food protein that some people are allergic to, and in some cases severely allergic. Cannabis protein is similar to the food protein found in those plants. Any questions you have needs to be addressed to your immunologist, allergist, or internist, and the only way to find out if you may react is by an allergy skin or blood test.
