flag Heavy cannabis use linked to lower liver disease risk in alcohol users, but experts warn against using it for protection.

flag A study of over 66,000 U.S. adults with alcohol use disorder found that heavy drinkers who used cannabis had lower rates of alcohol-associated liver disease, with those having cannabis use disorder showing 40% lower risk, along with reduced risks of severe liver complications and death. flag Researchers suggest cannabidiol (CBD) may reduce liver inflammation and improve fat metabolism, but stress the findings show association, not causation, and caution against using cannabis for liver protection due to its own health risks. flag Further clinical trials are needed to determine safe CBD doses, as the FDA has only approved CBD for specific seizure disorders.
